How to create an AI image
- Describe your idea. Name the subject, the setting and the mood. Or start from one of the example ideas.
- Pick a style and shape. Choose photo, cinematic, anime, watercolor, oil painting, 3D or pixel art, then square, portrait or landscape.
- Fine-tune if you like. Set the lighting and composition, and list anything to avoid.
- Generate a free preview. Download the watermarked version, or get the original for US$3.
Tips for better results
- Be specific: "a red vintage bicycle leaning on a yellow wall in Lisbon, morning light" beats "a bike".
- Describe the look: mention a medium (photo, watercolor, 3D), colors and lighting.
- Frame the shot: close-up, wide view or overhead flat lay changes the result a lot.
- Say what to leave out: use "Things to avoid" for text, clutter or extra people.
- Iterate: use "Reuse last prompt" and change one detail at a time.
What people make
- Blog and social images: headers, thumbnails and post visuals in a consistent style.
- Product concepts: mock-up scenes and mood boards before a photo shoot.
- Illustrations: storybook scenes, mascots, posters and greeting cards.
- Presentations: custom visuals instead of overused stock photos.
- Wallpapers and art: landscape and portrait pieces for screens and prints.

Usually a minute or more, depending on demand. The page shows elapsed time while your image is being created.
How long can I download my original?
For 24 hours after generation. Save the file somewhere safe; there is no permanent online gallery.
Are my prompts and images private?
Your prompt is sent to our AI provider to create the image. Results are not published to a public gallery. Originals are stored encrypted and removed after 24 hours.
Why doesn't the image match my prompt exactly?
AI can misread instructions, add odd details or struggle with text in images. Try a shorter, more specific prompt, choose a style, or list things to avoid, then generate again.
