Replace a photo anywhere on my site
Sites don't just need new photos - they need old ones swapped out: the piece that sold, the headshot from three haircuts ago, the shopfront before the repaint. On a bernard-hosted site that's one ask, and the layout stays exactly as it was.
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - then paste the new photo, say which picture it replaces ("the photo at the top of my About page"), or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the new photo sits where the old one did, press Approve, and it's live.
You don't need to know file names or where images live - describe the picture the way you'd point at it and the AI finds it. For the front-page version of this job see Swap the homepage image; if the new photo needs a different shape first, Crop or resize a photo has the words to use.
The prompt
“Replace the [which image, e.g. photo at the top of my About page] with the one I've attached - keep the size and layout as they are.”
Press Copy, then paste it into your AI and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard first - a one-time setup in bernard → your site → Use your own AI.
Questions people ask
- How do I swap a photo on my website for a new one?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, paste the new photo into a chat with your AI, say which picture it replaces, and the AI finds the old one, puts the new one in its place at the same size, and sends you a preview to approve.
- What happens to the photo that was there before?
- Nothing is lost. The swap waits on a preview until you press Approve, and bernard keeps a full year of history - so if you miss the old picture later, it can be put straight back.
- Will the image description update too?
- Yes - if the new photo shows something different, the AI updates the short description search engines and screen readers use, so the words under the surface match the picture people see.
