Ways to create

Make the imagery your idea needs

Move from a rough direction to a usable visual. Start with words alone, then refine the prompt or add reference images when the details matter.

More ways to create

Make pictures from words, photos, or both

When a project grows beyond a single text prompt, open the AI photo generator to edit an existing photo, combine several references, or create a new image from scratch. It keeps those starting points in one workflow, so you can move from the first idea to a downloadable result without switching tools.

Three steps

How the AI image maker works

The shortest path is prompt, generate, adjust. References are there when words alone are not enough.

  1. 01

    Describe the image

    Name the subject, setting, visual style, lighting, and composition you want.

  2. 02

    Add references if useful

    Upload images to guide a subject, object, color palette, or visual direction.

  3. 03

    Generate and refine

    Review the result, make the prompt more specific, and download the version you want to keep.

Better prompts

Give the image maker a clear brief

A useful prompt says what is in the image and how it should look. Add the details that affect the result; leave out adjectives that do not change a visible decision.

Subject
A glass cabin beside an alpine lake
Setting
Blue hour with mist over still water
Light
Warm interior lights
Composition
Wide cinematic view from the shore
Glass cabin glowing beside a still mountain lake at blue hour

Complete prompt

A glass cabin beside an alpine lake at blue hour, warm interior lights, mist over still water, wide cinematic view from the shore.

Optional inputs

Use a reference image when words are not enough

A reference can communicate a shape, subject, palette, or mood that would take a long prompt to explain. Upload up to ten images in total and say what each one should influence. References guide the result; they do not promise an exact copy.

  • Keep the important visual traits in your written prompt.
  • Say whether a reference controls the subject, style, or composition.
  • Check faces, lettering, and product details before publishing.

Getting the image you have in mind

An image can include the right subjects and still miss the idea. These community discussions ask for control over composition and a style that carries across a project. In your prompt, describe where the subjects belong and which visual details should stay consistent.
