Can I upload an image to use as a reference?

This tool works by accepting a text prompt. Describe the visual reference you want to match instead of uploading an image.

How do I describe an image style without uploading it?

Use descriptive terms for the medium, lighting, color palette, texture, and composition. For example: 'a high-contrast black and white street photograph with deep shadows and sharp focus.'

What visual terms help guide the generation?

Terms from photography, painting, graphic design, and film help the most. Examples include: 'portrait mode', 'soft lighting', 'deep focus', 'flat vector', 'film grain', and 'split lighting.'

Can I describe a specific artist's style?

You can describe visual characteristics associated with an art movement or period. Focus on technique, color, composition, and medium rather than named individuals.

How detailed should my style description be?

Include the medium, texture, color treatment, lighting, and composition. More specific descriptions generally produce more accurate style matches.
