Can I upload an image file to the tool?

No. Describe the reference image in text. The tool generates from your written description.

How do I describe an existing image in text?

Start with the main subject and composition, then add details about lighting, colors, mood, and style.

Will the output preserve the exact composition?

The output reflects the elements you describe. It will be a new interpretation, not a copy of the original.

Can I combine elements from multiple reference images?

Yes. Describe the elements from each image you want to include, and the tool will generate a composite based on your description.

What if I cannot describe the visual style accurately?

Focus on concrete details like colors, lighting direction, composition, and subject matter. Even basic descriptions can produce useful starting points.

Limitations to know before generating

The tool generates from text descriptions, not uploaded image files.
Complex visual styles or subtle details may be difficult to capture through text alone.
Results are inspired interpretations, not exact replications of reference images.
The more abstract or nuanced the visual reference, the harder it is to describe accurately.
You must have permission to reference and draw inspiration from the original images for your intended use.
