Content Genius lets you control the aspect ratio of generated article images by setting a project-wide default in the Brand Vault content tab.

🔍 What's Happening

Content Genius was generating article images at a 1:1 (square) aspect ratio instead of the intended 16:9 (widescreen) default. The fix is live in production, and you have a UI control to set the ratio yourself.

🛠️ How to Set Your Default Aspect Ratio in Brand Vault

Setting the aspect ratio in the Brand Vault content tab applies it as the global default for every article in that project.

  1. Open your project and go to More Features (apps-grid icon) → Brand Vault.
  2. Select the Content tab.
  3. Find the aspect ratio field and select your preferred ratio (for example, 16:9).
  4. Save your changes.

New images generated across the project now use this ratio as the default.

📌 Note on Per-Article Overrides

There is no longer a per-article aspect ratio override in the editor — the More Features (apps-grid icon) → Brand Vault content tab setting is the only place to configure this, and it applies to every article in that project.

📞 When to Contact Support

If your images still generate at the wrong ratio after setting the Brand Vault field and generating a new image, reach out via the live chat widget inside the platform with your project name and the ratio you selected.
