How to use the AI Image Generator
Learn how to turn your ideas into stunning visuals using the AI Image Generator. This guide walks you through each step — from writing your first prompt to downloading your final image.
🧭 Overview
The AI Image Generator allows you to create high-quality images simply by describing them in natural language. You can use it for:
- Marketing visuals
- Concept art
- Product mockups
- Illustrations, avatars, and more
You can access it via the Web Interface or the API (for developers).
✍️ Step 1: Write a Prompt
Start by entering a short description of the image you want to generate. The more specific you are, the better the result.
🔹 Examples
- ✅ “A futuristic city skyline at sunset, in cyberpunk style”
- ✅ “A watercolor painting of a fox in a forest, soft lighting”
- 🚫 “Nice picture” (too vague)
Tips:
- Mention style, lighting, medium, or mood
- Use commas to separate key details
- Avoid contradictions (e.g., “in winter with bright summer sun”)
Note: Our AI Image Generator automatically enhances your prompt in the generation process, if it's too vague.
🛠️ Step 2: Customize Output (Optional)
You can adjust the following options before generating:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Aspect Ratio | Choose square, portrait, or landscape |
| Style Presets | Pick a visual style (e.g., photorealistic, anime, pixel art) |
| Model | On a paid plan, you can choose a premium model |
| Background | Transparent or solid, if a premium model is selected |
🖼️ Step 3: Generate Your Image
Click Generate to start. It may take a few seconds depending on your plan and queue load.
- You’ll see a preview gallery with one or more image variations
- Select your favorite and click Generate
✨ Step 4: Use or Edit Your Image
You can:
- Download in PNG or JPG
- Remove background (with our AI Background Remover, Pro plan required)
