Image Prompts

Influence the content, composition, and colors of your creations using reference images.

Using Image Prompts

Image prompts allow you to use existing images as references to influence the content, composition, and style of your generations. This is a powerful way to guide the AI toward a specific visual outcome.

Types of Image References

Content Reference

Use an image to influence the subject matter and objects in your generation.

Composition Reference

Guide the layout, framing, and arrangement of elements.

Style Reference

Transfer the visual style, colors, and aesthetic from a reference image.

Best Practices

  • Use high-quality reference images
