How to generate images from a picture reference using text
Write a detailed text prompt that describes the visual characteristics of the picture you want to reference, including subject, style, composition, lighting, and mood. The AI generates a new image based on your description without needing you to upload the original picture. This approach works well when you want to capture the essence of a picture while creating something new, or when you want to transform one visual style into another.

Style transformation
Take an existing picture as a starting point and describe the new style, mood, or setting you want in the output.
Multiple interpretations
One reference can produce many variations. Adjust the description or settings to explore different creative directions.
No editing software needed
Describe the visual change in words instead of learning complex image-editing tools. The generator handles the transformation.

Limitations to know before generating
The tool generates from text descriptions only; you cannot upload a picture directly for reference
The accuracy of the transformation depends on how precisely you can describe both the original picture and the desired changes
Complex pictures with many details may be difficult to describe fully, leading to simplified or interpreted results
Style transformations are based on the AI's understanding of art styles and may not perfectly match specific artists or techniques
Generated images are new creations inspired by your description, not edited versions of the original picture
