Images you can make from a prompt

Ask for a clear layout and include the exact words you want to see. Try again if the text needs a fix.
Blog images
Create a new image that matches an article topic. Use a wide shape for a page header or a square for a card.
Early design ideas
Try a room, character, package, or color idea before you spend time making a full design.
Pick the image shape before you generate
Set the aspect ratio and size first. Then use your prompt to guide the subject, setting, and look.
Use the shape control
Choose the aspect ratio in the form. Do not rely on prompt words like square or wide by themselves.
Put the main subject first
Start with the person, product, place, or object you want. Add the setting and style after the main subject is clear.
Write exact on-image text
If the image needs a label or headline, put the exact words in quotes. Check the result before you use it.
Change one part at a time
When an image is close, change one line of the prompt. A small edit makes it easier to see what helped.
Try Lite before Pro
Use Lite when you want a lower credit cost. Switch to Pro when you want to compare the two models.
Check the cost first
The page shows the needed credits before you generate. The number changes with Pro or Lite and with 1K or 2K.
