Describe the visual style, mood, or composition of your reference using text. The generator interprets your description and creates an image inspired by those visual qualities without requiring an uploaded reference image.

Tips for Reference Prompts
How to use reference descriptions effectively.
Input Constraints
The generator works from text alone, not from uploaded reference images.
Results interpret your description, they do not replicate specific existing works.
Review outputs for their fit to your reference intent.
Practical Tips
Name the style or medium you are referencing: oil painting, pencil sketch, 3D render.
Describe lighting and color palette from your reference.
Include composition details like framing and perspective.
Privacy
Do not upload personal or sensitive material unless you have permission to use it.
Usage Rights
Confirm that you have the rights needed for the inputs and intended use of the result.
Prompt recipes
Copy a structure, then adjust the subject, lighting, camera, and output details for your own result.
Film photography reference with grain and tone
A portrait shot on Kodak Portra 400 film with soft natural light from a window, warm skin tones, visible film grain, shallow depth of field with a 50mm lens, subject looking off-camera to the left, intimate and nostalgic mood
Naming a specific film stock like Kodak Portra 400 guides color tone and grain texture, combining lens choice with natural light creates a realistic photography reference, and the off-camera gaze adds a candid feel.
Oil painting technique reference
A landscape in the style of traditional oil painting with visible thick brushstrokes, impasto texture on the foreground rocks, muted earth tones with touches of burnt sienna and ochre, loose handling of distant mountains blurring into atmospheric haze
Oil painting references need specific technique language like impasto and brushstroke visibility, naming pigment colors like burnt sienna grounds the palette, and atmospheric haze describes depth handling.
Architectural photography reference with perspective
A modern building facade photographed with a tilt-shift lens to correct vertical lines, shot during blue hour with building lights creating warm glows against the cool twilight sky, clean symmetrical composition with the building centered
Architectural photography has specific technical requirements like corrected verticals and tilt-shift lenses, blue hour timing explains the color contrast between artificial and natural light, and symmetry guides composition.
Graphic novel visual style reference
A city street scene in graphic novel style with bold ink outlines, flat color fills with limited shading, dramatic upward camera angle emphasizing tall buildings, high contrast between light and shadow areas, minimal detail in background elements
Graphic novels have a distinctive visual language of bold outlines and flat colors, the upward angle creates drama, and specifying minimal background detail prevents over-rendering.
Cinematic lighting reference
A close-up of hands holding a vintage pocket watch, lit by a single warm-toned practical light source creating soft shadows, film noir style with high contrast and deep blacks, shallow depth of field keeping only the watch face in focus
Cinematic lighting benefits from specific source descriptions and practical light mentions, film noir style sets contrast expectations, and shallow focus isolates the key narrative object.
Japanese woodblock print reference
A ocean wave scene in the style of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, simplified shapes with bold outlines, limited color palette of indigo blue, white, and pale yellow, flat perspective without Western linear perspective, decorative pattern in the wave foam
Ukiyo-e prints have specific technical constraints like simplified shapes and flat perspective, naming the limited palette prevents over-complication, and decorative patterns are a hallmark of the style.

Limitations to know before generating
The tool interprets style references from text but cannot replicate exact visual styles from specific copyrighted works.
Reference descriptions are subjective; results may not match your personal interpretation of a style.
Complex stylistic blends may require multiple generations to achieve the desired balance.
Technical art terminology may be interpreted differently than intended; review results and adjust descriptions.
Generated images are inspired by reference descriptions, not copies of specific existing works.
