How to Use ClickUp with Gemini Image Generation

ClickUp now gives you built-in Gemini image generation so you can turn short prompts into helpful visuals directly inside your workspace. This guide walks you through exactly how to generate, edit, and manage images in tasks and Docs using the new AI-powered image tools.

You will learn how to open the AI image panel, write effective prompts, refine results, and keep everything organized alongside your work.

Getting Started with ClickUp Gemini Image Tools

Before you generate your first image, make sure your workspace meets these basic requirements.

Check Your ClickUp Plan and Access

• Confirm that AI features are enabled for your ClickUp workspace.
• Verify you have permission to use AI in Spaces where you want to create images.
• If you do not see AI options, ask your workspace admin to enable them.

Where Gemini Image Generation Works in ClickUp

You can use the Gemini-powered image generator in several places so visuals stay attached to the work they support.

• Inside tasks for quick screenshots, mockups, and diagrams
• Inside Docs for blog posts, wikis, and process documentation
• Within comments when you need a visual explanation

The experience is consistent, so once you understand the workflow in one area, you can repeat it anywhere the AI composer appears.

How to Generate AI Images in ClickUp Tasks

Use Gemini inside a task to create visuals that clarify requirements, concepts, or design ideas.

Step 1: Open a Task and Launch the AI Composer

1. Open a task where you want to add an image.
2. Click inside the description or a comment field.
3. Select the AI icon to open the ClickUp AI composer.

This panel is where you will type prompts and manage everything related to AI image generation.

Step 2: Choose the Image Generation Option

1. In the AI composer, look for the image generation option powered by Gemini.
2. Select it to switch from text-only assistance to visual creation.
3. Confirm that you see controls for prompts, styles, and image previews.

The interface is designed so you can move between text responses and images without leaving the task.

Step 3: Write a Clear Prompt for Gemini

The quality of your image depends on how clearly you describe it. When using ClickUp with Gemini, include these details in your prompt:

• Subject: What should be in the image (example: a project dashboard on a laptop).
• Style: Realistic, flat illustration, 3D, minimal, or sketch.
• Context: Where or how the image will be used in ClickUp.
• Colors: Brand colors or general palette such as light, dark, or colorful.

Example prompt: “A clean flat illustration of a remote team planning tasks on a digital Kanban board, bright colors, modern, simple shapes.”

Step 4: Generate and Review Your Images

1. Click the generate button to send your prompt to Gemini.
2. Wait a moment while ClickUp creates several image options.
3. Review each variation and note what you like or dislike.

If none of the images are close enough to what you need, adjust your prompt with more detail and generate again.

Step 5: Insert Images into the Task

1. Select the image that best matches your intent.
2. Choose to insert it into the description, a comment, or attach it as a file.
3. Reposition or resize it within the task content if supported by your editor view.

Now your task has visual context that teammates can see without opening external tools.

Using ClickUp Gemini Images in Docs

Docs are one of the best places to combine writing and AI visuals. You can keep instructions, screenshots, and diagrams together for easy reference.

Step 1: Open a Doc and Access ClickUp AI

1. Create or open a Doc where you want to add images.
2. Click into the text area and open the AI composer from the toolbar or slash commands.
3. Switch to the image generation mode.

Step 2: Generate Visuals for Documentation

Gemini image generation is especially useful for:

• How-to diagrams that summarize multi-step processes.
• Concept illustrations for product or feature explainers.
• Training materials and onboarding guides.

As you write your Doc, pause at each section and ask yourself what type of image would clarify the content. Then call the AI composer and generate it on the spot.

Step 3: Edit and Replace Images in ClickUp Docs

1. If an image does not fit well, open the AI composer again.
2. Refine the prompt with clearer instructions such as angle, zoom, or number of elements.
3. Generate a new image and replace the existing one in your Doc.

This iterative process makes it easy to keep documentation current without manual design work.

Best Practices for ClickUp AI Image Generation

To get the most from Gemini inside ClickUp, follow these simple best practices.

Write Prompts with Structure and Constraints

• Start with the main subject and action.
• Add style, mood, and color palette.
• Specify aspect ratio if relevant to your layout.
• Mention what should be excluded if it often appears by mistake.

Example: “A simple line illustration, white background, no text, only three main icons showing planning, collaboration, and reporting.”

Align Images with Your ClickUp Workflows

Use AI images to support everyday workflows instead of treating them as separate design tasks:

• Add visuals to sprint planning tasks to show scope or architecture.
• Include diagrams in Docs that describe standard operating procedures.
• Generate visuals in knowledge base Docs so new teammates grasp concepts faster.

Keep Your Workspace Organized

• Group related tasks and Docs with AI images into shared folders.
• Use consistent naming conventions for tasks that rely heavily on visuals.
• Update or replace outdated images when your process or product changes.

Collaboration and Governance with ClickUp AI Images

Because AI images live directly in tasks and Docs, your team can collaborate around them just like any other asset.

Share and Review Images with Your Team

• Mention teammates in comments next to images for feedback.
• Use task custom fields or statuses to track which visuals are approved.
• Collect suggestions for new prompts inside Docs that serve as style guides.

Set Workspace Guidelines for AI Use in ClickUp

To keep things consistent, create a short Doc that defines how Gemini images should be used:

• Acceptable use cases and audiences.
• Preferred styles and color rules.
• Review steps before using images in public-facing content.

Link this Doc in key Spaces so everyone understands expectations when they create or edit visuals.
