What Happens to Uploaded Images?
When you upload images to the Image Gallery, they are not just stored but also intelligently processed to enhance your content creation experience. Here’s how Socialbud manages and utilizes your uploaded images:
Image Analysis and Classification
Using our proprietary algorithms, we analyze the content of your images to identify what they contain.
The images are visually and contextually classified to ensure they align with your posting needs.
Integration with Auto Posts
Uploaded images are automatically integrated into the auto-post generation process, replacing stock photos in the 'Review Posts' section. This ensures your posts are personalized and tailored to your brand.
Reuse Criteria for Images
To maintain variety and freshness in your content, any uploaded image will not be reused within 30 days.
If you upload a photo, it will only appear in the post generation process starting with your next content creation session, and not immediately after uploading.
Why an Uploaded Photo Might Not Appear
If an uploaded image does not appear during post generation, it is likely due to the 30-day reuse rule. Images already used within this timeframe will be skipped in favor of other eligible content.
