Click the generate button and wait a few seconds. Our AI processes your request and creates a unique image based on your description.
Download or Iterate
Download your creation or use it as input for further refinement. You can iterate multiple times to perfect your vision.
PROMPT ENGINEERING GUIDE
ANATOMY OF A GOOD PROMPT
What is the main focus? (e.g., "a warrior queen", "a futuristic city")
What art style? (e.g., "oil painting", "anime", "photorealistic")
Colors, lighting, mood (e.g., "golden hour", "dramatic shadows")
Quality modifiers (e.g., "highly detailed", "8k resolution")
EXAMPLE PROMPTS
Basic:"A cat sitting on a windowsill"Better:"A fluffy orange cat sitting on a windowsill, rainy day outside, cozy interior, soft lighting, digital painting style"Best:"A fluffy orange tabby cat with green eyes sitting on a vintage windowsill, watching raindrops on the glass, cozy interior with warm lamp light, houseplants in the background, studio ghibli style, highly detailed, peaceful atmosphere"ADVANCED TIPS
USE STYLE REFERENCES
Mention specific art styles, artists (avoid living artists), or media. "Studio Ghibli style", "art nouveau", "cyberpunk aesthetic".
CONTROL COMPOSITION
Describe camera angles and composition. "Close-up portrait", "wide establishing shot", "bird's eye view".
ITERATE ON RESULTS
Use good outputs as input for image-to-image. Each iteration can refine and improve specific aspects of the image.
EXPERIMENT WITH SEEDS
Same prompt with same seed produces similar results. Use this to make small variations while keeping the general composition.
