Advanced AI Image Generator Guide

Use this practical map for the current AI Image Generator flow: prompt setup, frame control, Style + Refine, run metrics, credits, preview review, download flow, and the latest example patterns.

Guide map: 7 step sections + related links
  • Start with access state and credits.
  • Set prompt, style, and frame before running.
  • Review output and download only after the preview is final.

Start and Access

The top of the workspace shows online status, Buy Credits, member account state, and the prompt-to-image setup path.

Start here
AI Image Generator header status, buy credits, account state, style count, and generator flow.
Use this top region first to confirm access and visible credit state before drafting the prompt.

Generator state

Read the visible status, active mode, and credits before composing a main scene to avoid wasted generation attempts.

Buy credits

Buy Credits is the direct upgrade path when generations are not available. The guide sections below map to visible purchase points.

Proof and guides

Use prompt examples, tutorials, and related guides when the first generated pass needs a stronger reference.

Prompt, Frame and Generate

Write the main scene, use Quick Starts when needed, choose Square/Wide/Tall, then run the generator.

Prompt flow
Prompt composer, quick starts, generate, and clear controls.
Prompt input and frame selection are the highest impact controls before your first generate click.

Main Scene

Start with explicit subject, composition, style cues, and lighting. The visible helper text prompts for these pieces.

Quick Starts

Use them for reliable first drafts when the prompt field is empty or the first draft is still forming.

Frame format

Choose Square (1:1), Wide (16:9), or Tall (9:16) before generating so crop direction is locked for destination.

Style + Refine

Set the base look with one of four style families and keep modifiers aligned with the composition intent.

Creative tone
Style + Refine panel with realistic, cinematic, digital art, and product style chips.
Select Realistic, Cinematic, Digital Art, or Product and verify the active modifier stack.

Realistic

Best for natural, photo-like scenes with believable depth and restrained composition.

Cinematic

Best for dramatic contrast, mood shifts, and high-energy scene storytelling.

Digital Art

Use for symbolic, illustrative, or surreal concepts that need graphic polish.

Product

Use for object shots, clear background control, and ad-ready clean framing.

Run Panel and Credits

Run Panel confirms prompt metrics, selected style and aspect ratio, plus credit state before and after generation.

Readiness
Run panel metrics with words, characters, strength, style, aspect, and credit state.
Use this panel to confirm everything is set before opening a generation call.

Words and characters

Higher clarity often helps with longer prompts, but avoid overfitting details before testing a first pass.

Strength

Starter strength is for minimal prompts. Raise detail through specificity, not random modifier sprawl.

Credits

When no credits remain, use refresh or buy credits before retrying so the user-facing state is accurate.

Preview and Download

Preview remains empty at first, then becomes the image review surface with frame summary. Download is a final action.

Review flow
Generator preview and download review flow.
Review the generated result in context before using download. Keep frame format visible during inspection.

Preview state

Wait until the final result replaces the empty state before deciding. Don’t treat the empty frame as output.

Download timing

Download should be used only after generation finishes and the frame row matches the target dimension.

Frame summary

The frame summary is the final verification point: it ensures the output can be used where intended.

Prompt Recipes

Use subject, style, frame, and light as your recipe fields. Keep the image brief and specific before the first run.

Starting points
Prompt recipe output reference for a cinematic sacred geometry example.
A full recipe example ties subject scale, lighting, style, and frame format before the download action.

Cinematic Sacred Geometry

Subject + cosmic depth + cinematic framing + dramatic lighting. Use wide canvas for scale, then tighten scene details.

Product Visual

Start with clean subject/background separation, then choose Square or Wide based on placement channel.

Digital Poster

Use bold typography direction, symbolic staging, and Tall for social stories when copy blocks are central.

Natural Scene

Build believable lighting, realistic style, and moderate composition depth before refining details.

Quick Answers

Common workflow questions for the current AI Image Generator UI.

Support

What should I set first?

Prompt, style, and frame should be set before clicking Generate Image.

Which style should I start with?

Realistic for grounded visuals. Cinematic for mood-heavy scenes. Digital Art for stylized outputs. Product for ad-ready objects.

Which frame format is best?

Square for default posts, Wide for landscape and banners, Tall for story and portrait formats.

Why is Generate Image blocked?

Most often because credits are not available. Refresh state, sign in, or buy credits from the same browser.

When can I download?

Only after a final generated image is visible and the frame summary matches the requested format.
