Can I upload a base image as a reference instead of describing it?

This tool works by accepting a text prompt. Describe the visual reference you have in mind rather than uploading an image.

How detailed does the description need to be for accurate results?

Include subject, composition, lighting, color palette, and style. The more specific you are about each element, the closer the result will match your intent.

What if I want to modify an existing image?

Describe the modifications you want in your prompt. For example: 'a vintage car, original photo, but change the color from red to blue and add a snowy background.'

How to use text descriptions as a base image reference

Instead of uploading a base image, describe the visual reference you want in detail. Include subject, composition, lighting, color palette, and style. The tool generates the image from your text description, which acts as the conceptual base.

Reference a known visual concept

Input

A small wooden cabin in a snowy forest at night, warm light glowing from the windows, similar to a storybook illustration style

A cozy cabin scene in snow with warm window light, rendered in a storybook illustration aesthetic

Specify composition from description

Input

A close-up macro shot of a dewdrop on a green leaf, blurred green background, bright morning sunlight from the left

Expected output

A macro nature photo with a sharp dewdrop on a leaf, soft bokeh background, and directional morning lighting

Generate images from detailed text descriptions that serve as a visual reference, without uploading a base image

Describe instead of upload

Use detailed text descriptions to define the visual starting point you want. Upload nothing.

Control the reference through words

Specify composition, lighting, color palette, and style in your prompt. Every visual element comes from your description.

Keep source material private

Since you describe rather than upload, there is no source image to manage or secure. The prompt is the only input.

How It Works

Describe the desired image.

Choose the available generation settings.

Generate, review, and download a suitable result.

Tips for text-based visual references

Build a strong visual reference using only words.

Input Constraints

Describe the composition — close-up, wide shot, or specific framing
Include lighting direction and quality — soft, harsh, backlit, or golden hour
Specify the color palette — warm tones, monochrome, pastel, or saturated

Practical Tips

Use photography terms like depth of field, angle of view, and lens type for realistic outputs
Reference art styles for non-photorealistic results — watercolor, oil painting, sketch
Review the output against your mental reference and adjust the prompt for closer alignment

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.

Vintage film photo reference

A vintage 35mm film photo of a sunset over desert dunes, warm orange and pink tones, slight grain and vignetting, 1970s Kodachrome aesthetic

Describes a specific film photography style with era, color grading, and texture, creating a strong visual reference from text alone.

Painterly art style reference

An oil painting of a quiet countryside road lined with autumn trees, impressionist brushstrokes, warm earth tones, soft afternoon light

References a traditional art medium and style with color and lighting cues, guiding the model to produce a painterly output.

Macro photography reference

Extreme close-up macro photograph of a bee on a purple flower, shallow depth of field with soft bokeh, natural sunlight from the side, sharp detail on the bee

Uses photography-specific terms to describe focus, lighting, and composition, serving as a detailed technical reference.

Minimalist design reference

A minimalist product shot of a white ceramic mug on a light wood surface, top-down view, soft natural window light, clean composition with negative space

Describes a clean, modern aesthetic with specific camera angle and lighting, acting as a reference for minimalist visual style.

Cinematic mood reference

A cinematic wide shot of a lone figure walking down a foggy street at night, neon signs reflecting on wet pavement, moody blue and orange color grading

Combines cinematic framing, atmosphere, and color grading to create a strong mood reference for stylized outputs.

Limitations to know before generating

This tool does not accept uploaded base images; all visual references must be described in text
The accuracy of the output depends on how clearly and specifically you describe the visual reference
Describing complex compositions or subtle stylistic details can be challenging and may require multiple iterations
Results are interpretations of your text description, not exact reproductions of an unseen base image
Review the generated image to ensure it matches your intended reference before using it in your project
