How do I generate an image using other images as reference?
Describe the visual style, medium, colors, and composition of the reference images you have in mind using text. The generator interprets your description and creates a new image inspired by those visual qualities.

Vintage travel poster aesthetic
A mountain railway scene in the style of a 1950s travel poster with flat color blocks, bold sans-serif text reading 'Alpine Express', simplified geometric shapes for trees and mountains, limited color palette of red, cream, and forest green
Naming the era and medium like 1950s travel poster sets clear style expectations, flat color blocks and geometric shapes guide the rendering style, and a limited color palette prevents over-complication.
Film noir photography style
A detective standing under a streetlamp in a foggy alley at night, shot in black and white with high contrast shadows, dramatic side lighting creating long shadows on wet cobblestones, grainy film texture
Film noir is defined by high contrast and specific lighting, so naming these elements along with black and white and film grain creates a cohesive reference style.
Impressionist painting technique
A garden path with blooming flowers in the style of impressionist painting, visible brushstrokes with dabs of unmixed color, soft edges and blurred details, warm afternoon light filtering through trees, pastel palette of pink, lavender, and pale yellow
Impressionism is characterized by visible brushwork and unmixed color, so describing these techniques along with soft edges and a specific pastel palette guides the style interpretation.
Isometric video game art
A small fantasy village in isometric perspective with tiled roofs, cobblestone streets, and a central fountain, pixel art style with a 16-color palette, clean outlines and no anti-aliasing, sprites arranged on a grid
Isometric pixel art requires specific technical details like grid alignment and limited color palette, naming these constraints along with the pixel art style creates a clear visual target.
Woodcut print aesthetic
A forest scene carved in the style of a traditional woodcut print, bold black lines with white negative space, simplified shapes with no gradients, textured paper background visible, high contrast between ink and paper
Woodcut prints have a distinctive technical limitation—bold lines and no gradients—so naming these constraints along with the carved texture guides the style interpretation.
Art deco illustration style
A jazz singer on stage in the style of an art deco illustration, geometric patterns framing the figure, metallic gold and deep teal color scheme, symmetrical composition with decorative borders, flat shading with sharp edges
Art deco is defined by geometric patterns, metallic accents, and symmetry, so naming these visual elements along with flat shading creates a cohesive period style reference.

Limitations to know before generating
The tool interprets style descriptions but cannot replicate exact visual styles from specific copyrighted works or artists.
Complex style blends may require multiple generations to achieve the desired balance.
Technical art terms may be interpreted differently than intended; review results and adjust descriptions.
Generated images are inspired by style descriptions, not copies of existing reference images.
Fine stylistic details may require several prompt iterations to refine.
