Image Generator
Create images from natural-language text prompts in seconds. Generate multiple variations, explore creative ideas, and bring your vision to life with AI-powered image generation.
What you can do:
- Generate up to 4 images from a single text prompt
- Choose from multiple AI models or let the system auto-select
- Control style, camera angle, and color palette
- Use templates for quick generation or customize every detail
- Create marketing visuals, product imagery, and design assets
How it works:
The Image Generator uses AI models to interpret your text descriptions and create corresponding images. Each generation is unique, running the same prompt may produce different creative variations, giving you multiple options to explore.
Quick Start
- Select a model, or choose Auto to let the system decide.
- Enter a text prompt describing the image you want to generate.
- (Optional) Enhance the prompt for improved clarity.
- Use references and controls to guide the visual output.
- Generate images.
Each generation can produce up to four images using the same configuration.
Use Cases
The Image Generator is suited for a wide range of creative and exploratory workflows where images are generated from text descriptions and refined through visual guidance.
Common use cases include:
- Rapid ideation and concept exploration: Generate quick visual concepts from simple prompts to explore ideas, compositions, or moods without committing to a specific style upfront.
This is useful during early-stage brainstorming, creative exploration, or when evaluating multiple directions for a visual idea. - Marketing and content visuals: Create images for blogs, presentations, landing pages, or social media by combining descriptive prompts with style, camera, and color references.
Generating multiple images at once helps compare variations and select the most suitable output. - Product and lifestyle imagery: Generate clean, stylized product visuals or contextual lifestyle scenes by describing the product and environment in the prompt and refining the output using references.
This is useful for mockups, previews, or conceptual product shots. - Illustrations and design assets: Create illustrations, design-oriented visuals, or stylized graphics by selecting illustration or design styles and pairing them with concise prompts.
This workflow works well for UI concepts, posters, thumbnails, or creative assets that do not require photographic realism. - Visual experimentation and variation: Generate multiple images from the same prompt to explore different interpretations, styles, or compositions.
This is useful when variation and creative diversity are desired rather than a single fixed outcome.
Custom Generation
Custom generation allows you to create images by manually configuring prompts, references, and controls. This mode provides full control over how images are generated and is suited for custom or exploratory workflows.
Model Selection
Image generation is performed using one of the available models. Each model is optimized for different styles and generation characteristics.
Available options include:
- Nano Banana
- Nano Banana Pro
- Seedream 4.5
- Imagen 4
- Imagen 4 Fast
- Imagen 4 Ultra
- Auto
Selecting Auto allows the system to automatically choose a model based on the prompt and configuration. This option is useful when users are unsure which model best fits their use case.
Prompt
The prompt defines what should appear in the generated image. It can describe the subject, environment, mood, style, composition, or any other relevant visual detail.
Clear and specific prompts generally produce more predictable results, while vague prompts encourage broader variation.
Prompt enhancement
You can optionally enhance your prompt before generation. Prompt enhancement restructures and expands the input text to improve descriptive clarity while preserving the original intent.
Prompt enhancement helps reduce ambiguity and can improve results by making your description more precise.
Prompt guidance
When writing prompts:
- Start with the main subject
- Add context or environment
- Specify style, lighting, or mood if important
- Use references and controls for stylistic guidance instead of overloading the prompt
Start with a clear subject and add style or mood later. Overloading the prompt with conflicting instructions often leads to inconsistent results.
Example Prompts
Simple subject:
A modern workspace with a wooden desk, laptop, and indoor plants
Descriptive scene:
A cozy reading corner by a large window, warm sunlight, soft shadows, minimal interior design
Stylized illustration:
A futuristic city skyline at night, neon lights, cyberpunk aesthetic, digital illustration
Product focused image:
A white ceramic coffee mug on a marble table, studio lighting, clean background, professional photography
These examples illustrate how increasing descriptive detail influences the generated output.
Image generation is unique each time. Using the same prompt and settings may produce different creative variations.
References
References provide additional control over the visual characteristics of the generated image. These options guide style, composition, and color treatment independently of the text prompt.
Style
Determines the overall visual style applied to the image.
Available categories include:
- Photography: Natural, editorial, landscape
- Illustration: Cartoon, pixel art, oil painting
- Design: Inkprint, isometric, neonwave, minimalist
Selecting Random applies a randomly chosen style to the output.
Camera
Controls camera perspective or framing.
Examples include:
- Drone
- 360
- Portrait
- Close-up
- First-person
- Aerial
Selecting Random applies a randomly chosen camera style.
Palette
Controls the dominant color palette of the generated image.
Available options include:
- Cold
- Neon
- Pastel
- Vibrant
- Warm
Color palettes influence the overall mood and tone of the image.
Upload Reference
Users can upload images to act as visual references. Reference images can influence style, color treatment, or composition.
Uploaded references supplement the prompt and reference settings rather than replacing them.
Reference images guide style and color while allowing creative interpretation in the generated output.
Aspect Ratio
Select the aspect ratio for your generated images.
Available options:
- 1:1: Square format
- 16:9: Widescreen landscape
- 9:16: Vertical portrait
All images generated in a single request use the same prompt, references, and aspect ratio.
Templates
Templates provide a faster way to generate images using predefined settings. Each template includes a curated combination of prompt structure, style, camera settings, and reference inputs.
Unlike Personal generation where users configure every parameter from scratch, templates are designed to reduce setup time and decision overhead.
How Templates Work
When a template is selected, the Image Generator automatically applies a predefined configuration that may include:
- A structured prompt
- Style and camera settings
- Color palette choices
- Reference images
Users can generate images immediately using the template defaults or modify the prompt and settings before generation.
Templates act as starting points, not fixed workflows.
When to Use Templates
Templates are useful when:
- You want to generate images quickly without configuring multiple options
- You are exploring a common or repeatable visual style
- You prefer guided generation over manual setup
- You are new to image generation and want sensible defaults
They are especially effective for recurring use cases such as marketing visuals, lifestyle imagery, or design assets.
Custom Generation vs Templates
Custom Generation:
- Full control over prompt and parameters
- Best for custom or experimental generation
- Requires manual configuration
Templates:
- Predefined parameters and references
- Faster setup and lower decision effort
- Ideal for quick generation and consistent outputs
Both approaches use the same underlying generation system and credit model.
Customizing Templates
Templates are not locked. After selecting a template, users can:
- Edit the prompt
- Adjust references and controls
- Change aspect ratio or number of images
Any changes override the template defaults for that generation.
