Monsha’s Image Generator helps you create visuals for a wide range of classroom uses. You can generate labelled diagrams for science, timelines for history, character illustrations for literature, classroom posters for any subject, or anything else really.

These images can be used in your worksheets, presentations, assessments, or as standalone learning aids, among other use cases.

Follow the steps:

Step 1: Open the Image Generator

Go to app.monsha.ai and sign in or sign up with your email.

From the tools list, select Image Generator to begin.

Step 2: (Optional) Assign your image to a lesson

You can organise your image by attaching it to a course, unit, or lesson. This step is optional but helps you keep resources structured and aligned to the curriculum expectations already set.

Step 3: Add your topic and references (required)

This step is essential. Tell Monsha what your image is about and provide relevant references.

  • Topic: Describe your image in a few words (e.g., "Photosynthesis diagram", "Ancient Egyptian Pyramids").

  • Sources: Add any combination of the following:

    • Uploaded files (e.g., documents, diagrams, images)

    • Internet links (e.g., article or image URLs)

    • YouTube videos (Monsha analyses the transcript)

    • Text excerpts (paste directly)

    • Monsha resources (existing worksheets, slides, etc.)

    • Curriculum standards (e.g., CCSS, NGSS)

The more context you give, the better and more relevant your image output.

Step 4: Configure image attributes (optional)

While you can skip this step, defining these attributes helps the AI understand the specific context, style, and purpose of your image. This leads to more accurate and relevant visuals right from the start, with less need for revision.

The clearer your preferences, the better Monsha can tailor the image to match your teaching needs.
