▌A Little Story About Demand
When we publish articles on public accounts, we need some cover images. Is there an AI tool that can quickly generate images that can visually express the content of the article?
Some of the cover images for the public account articles are edited by myself, while others are generated by AI image generation tools, but there are some issues.
Self-Edited Images:Making images takes too long and consumes a lot of energy.
AI Image Generation:It can generally express the elements of the image, but it cannot generate Chinese text well in the image, failing to visually express the content of the article.
One day while using Tongyi Wanxiang, I suddenly discovered a feature for artistic text.
After trying it out, I found that it can quickly generate images and present Chinese text well in the images.
Since then, the artistic text feature of Tongyi Wanxiang has become one of the main tools for my article cover images.

Next, let’s learn together how to quickly generate article cover images using Tongyi Wanxiang.
▌How to Generate Article Cover Images Using Tongyi Wanxiang?
Enter the browser address bar https://tongyi.aliyun.com/wanxiang/, press enter to access the Tongyi Wanxiang official website.
Click on the upper left corner in the [Artistic Text] feature area.

Enter the artistic text page.

In the upper left editing area, input the text content, text style, image ratio, and image background content. Click the [Generate Creative Artistic Text] button to generate the artistic text cover image you want.

For example, the content of this article today is about how to generate WeChat public account article covers using artistic text. So here, I input the text content “Generate Cover”, choose the image ratio 16:9, select the background that supports image generation, and choose the text style [Scene Integration] – [Fantasy Cartoon].

It will generate 4 images at once, and I chose the third image here and clicked to enlarge it.

Click the [Download] icon at the bottom to download the cover image.
PS: The downloaded image will not have the Tongyi Wanxiang watermark.

The image obtained after downloading is as follows:

At this point, we have completed the production of a cover image with text content.
▌Learning Expansion
Text content: Supports Chinese, subtitles, numbers, can input 1-4 characters.
Image ratio: Supports 16:9, 9:16, 1:1.
Image background: Supports generated background and transparent background.
Text style: Includes light and shadow effects, scene integration, three-dimensional materials, artistic styles, and can also customize descriptions.

▌Learning Summary
Let’s review the learning content together:
-
Open Tongyi Wanxiang – Artistic Text page.
-
Input the text content to be generated.
-
Select style, size, and background.
-
Generate creative artistic text.
Tongyi Wanxiang Artistic Text can help me generate a cover image that fits the theme of the article in less than one minute, greatly improving my efficiency in image matching.
However, currently the function limits the input text to 1~4 characters, which may not clearly express some scenes with only 4 characters. I hope future versions will support generating longer texts.
Now, it’s your turn to create your own article cover image.
