Top Tips for Prompting AI to Get Better Image Results
Be Clear and Specific
The more detailed and specific your prompt, the better the AI can understand your vision.
👌🏻 For example, instead of saying "a person in a park," say "a young woman with long brown hair wearing a red dress, sitting on a park bench in a sunny park with trees in the background."
Use High-Contrast Descriptions
To help the AI create clear images, describe the contrast between elements in the scene.
👌🏻 For instance, "a black cat on a white windowsill" or "a bright yellow sunflower against a blue sky."
Include Details About Composition
Specify how you want the subject to be positioned or arranged.
👌🏻 For example, "a close-up of a coffee cup on the right side of the frame with a blurred background of a café."
Mention Lighting and Mood
Light can dramatically change the tone of an image. Be clear about the type of lighting (soft, dramatic, backlit, etc.) and the mood (calm, mysterious, cheerful).
👌🏻 For example, "a person standing in soft, golden hour light with a calm and peaceful expression."
Describe the Background
Clearly outline the setting or background of your image. Whether you want a minimal white backdrop, a bustling city street, or a tranquil beach, specifying the environment helps the AI focus on relevant details.
👌🏻 "A woman wearing a blue dress standing on a tranquil beach at sunset, with soft waves and a clear sky fading from orange to pink."
Use Visual References
If possible, reference specific visual elements or styles you want to emulate.
👌🏻 For example, "a landscape in the style of impressionist paintings" or "a futuristic city inspired by cyberpunk aesthetics."
Incorporate Color and Textures
Mention colors and textures you envision for key elements in the image.
👌🏻 For example, "a blue sky with fluffy white clouds," or "a cozy room with wooden floors and soft, knitted blankets."
Specify Artistic Styles or Movements
If you want the image to reflect a particular style, movement, or era, include that in your prompt.
👌🏻 For instance, "a portrait in the style of Renaissance paintings" or "a modern, abstract interpretation of a forest."
Keep It Simple and Focused
While detail is important, overly complicated prompts can overwhelm the AI and result in muddled images. Focus on the key elements of the scene and keep your description concise yet descriptive.
Experiment and Iterate
If you're not getting the desired result, adjust your prompt. Try adding or removing specific details, or experiment with different wordings to refine the output. AI can improve with feedback, so testing different variations helps refine the outcome.
Use our Remix Feature
You can also upload your own image by clicking the upload icon in the generation box. Once selected, type in your prompt to describe what changes you'd like to make.
For best results, be as specific as possible—especially about which elements you want to modify or keep. This helps the tool better understand and apply your instructions.
👌🏻 For example, “Change the shirt color to black and add a small lightning bolt graphic in the center. Keep the background and pose the same.”
By using these tips, you can guide the AI to produce more accurate, creative, and visually appealing results, tailored to your vision.
