Images for worlds and entries

Worldbuilding on Inkbreaker is image-aware. Each world can have its own image library, an avatar, and a cover banner. Each entry (character, location, faction, event, artifact, concept, note) can have a primary portrait plus a gallery of reference images. Each world update can have its own cover. Everything is Pro-only and pulls from one library per world so you can reuse references across entries.

The world's image library

Open the world bible tool, pick a world, and switch to the Images tab. This is the world's own reference library. It shows every image you've ever uploaded or imported into this world, including:

• The world's avatar and cover (when set).
• Every entry's primary portrait.
• Every additional gallery image attached to any entry.
• "Loose" images you've imported into the world but haven't attached anywhere yet.

Use Import image to upload a new image straight into this world. The image is scoped to the world from the moment it's uploaded, so it appears here and in the picker any time you attach an image to an entry or world update inside this world.

Each library tile shows:

• The image itself (click for a full-size view).
• A "Used in: …" line listing every entry that uses this image.
• A Primary badge if the image is the avatar of at least one entry.
• A Delete button (disabled if the image is the primary for any entry; change the primary first, then delete).

The library is shared with the rest of the world bible: an image you import here is immediately pickable from the entry editor's gallery slot and from the world avatar / cover / update cover selectors.

World avatar and cover

In the world bible tool, switch to Settings: The top section is World identity and has two slots:

• Avatar: a small square portrait shown wherever this world appears as a chip, card, or icon. When set, it replaces the colored lucide icon.
• Cover banner: a wide banner image rendered above the title at the top of the world's public page (16:9).

Both pull from the world's image library. Click Set avatar / Set cover to pick from images you've already imported, or upload a new one in the same picker.

If you ever want to revert to the icon palette, click Remove on the avatar slot. Same for the cover.

Entry images

Each entry has a portrait slot and a wider gallery.

Primary image (the portrait) is the cropped square that appears on the entry's card, in the world bible row, in the knowledge graph, and at the top of the entry's public page. If you don't set one, the entry type icon shows instead.

Gallery images are reference shots you keep for inspiration: alternate angles, mood boards, real-world locations a fictional place is based on, real people you use as actor references for a character. Gallery images appear on the entry's public page below the field block, with the primary excluded so it isn't duplicated.

To manage an entry's images:

1. Open the entry from the world bible builder or the entries manager.
2. The Images section sits beneath the entry title.
3. Click + to upload a new image or pick one already in the world library.
4. Hover over a thumbnail to see two actions:
   • Star: make this the primary portrait. Replaces whatever was primary before.
   • Trash: remove from this entry's gallery. The image stays in the world library.

The first image you upload becomes the primary automatically, so a writer can attach one portrait and stop without a second step.

World update cover images

A world update is a published post about your world (lore drop, character spotlight, location reveal). Updates can have a cover banner that appears on the feed card and at the top of the standalone update page.

To add a cover image:

1. In the world bible tool, switch to Publish.
2. Either start a fresh update or open an existing draft from the Drafts tab.
3. Save the draft once (so it has an ID we can attach to).
4. Re-open the draft. The cover image control sits above the title field.
5. Pick an image from the world library or upload a new one.

The cover renders as a 16:9 hero banner. Choose a wide image; portrait-oriented shots get heavily cropped.

Reporting an entry or its images

Reports work on any publicly-visible world content.

On a public entry page, click Report next to the entry title to report the entry itself. The compact flag overlay on each gallery image lets you report a specific image without flagging the whole entry.

On a public world page, the Report button next to the world title flags the world as a whole.

In every case you'll pick a reason (hate speech, harassment, spam, misinformation, sexual content, violence, self-harm, or other) and can leave a short note. Moderators review reports from the admin queue and can take down individual images, a single entry, or the whole world depending on what's appropriate.
