## **🔍 Overview**

Search Atlas includes an AI image generation tool inside the content creation workflow. One of its available styles is **photo-realistic**, which produces highly detailed, lifelike images. This option is available on the **Pro plan** and above. If you previously had access to this feature and can no longer find it, this article will help you locate it and understand what may have changed.

## **🗺️ Where to Find the AI Image Generator**

The AI image generation tool is accessed through the SEO Content Assistant. Follow these steps to reach it:

1. In the left sidebar, click **Content**.
2. Select **AI Content Templates** from the sub-menu.
3. Open or create a content document to enter the editor.
4. Inside the editor, look for the **AI Image** or image generation option within the toolbar or content block options.
5. Once the image generation panel opens, you will see a list of available styles — select **Photo-Realistic** from the style options.

If you do not see the photo-realistic style listed, your current plan may not include it. See the section below for details.

## **💳 Plan Requirements for Photo-Realistic Images**

The **photo-realistic image generation** option is a **Pro plan feature**. Here is a quick summary of access by plan:

- **Pro plan and above:** Full access to all image styles, including photo-realistic.
- **Starter or lower plans:** Access to standard AI image styles only; photo-realistic style is not included.

If your account was recently changed — for example, if you downgraded your plan, switched to a different subscription tier, or are using a new account — this would explain why the photo-realistic option is no longer visible.

## **⚙️ How to Upgrade to the Pro Plan**

If you would like to regain access to the photo-realistic image style, upgrading your account to the Pro plan is the quickest solution. To upgrade:

1. Click your **avatar** in the top-right corner of the platform.
2. Navigate to **Billing** → **Plans & Top-ups** (Manage Subscription / Change Plan).
3. Select the **Pro plan** and follow the on-screen prompts to complete your upgrade.

Once your plan is upgraded, the photo-realistic style will appear immediately in the image generation panel without any additional configuration.

## **🛠️ Troubleshooting: Option Is Missing Despite Pro Plan**

If you are on the Pro plan and still cannot see the photo-realistic checkbox or style option, try the following steps:

- **Refresh your browser** — a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows, Cmd + Shift + R on Mac) clears cached data that may be showing an outdated interface.
- **Log out and log back in** — this reloads your account permissions and plan entitlements.
- **Check your active workspace** — if you manage multiple workspaces or organisations, confirm you are logged into the workspace associated with your Pro subscription.
- **Clear browser cookies and cache** — occasionally, cached session data can cause features to display incorrectly.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is likely an account-level configuration that our support team can investigate directly.
