How to use reference images with AI generation

This tool accepts a text description of the image you want. You can mention a reference image in your prompt to guide the output's style, color palette, or composition. The generator combines your text and the visual cues to produce a new image that reflects both. Review the result and adjust your prompt or reference choice as needed.

AI Image Generator with Reference Images

Match a color palette from a reference

Input

A modern living room with large windows and indoor plants, using the color palette from my reference photo

Expected output

A living room scene image with colors and tones matching the provided reference image

Follow a pose or composition reference

Input

A character sitting at a desk writing in a journal, keeping the same pose as shown in the reference image

Expected output

An image of a character in a seated writing pose aligned with the reference composition

Use a material texture reference for an object

Input

A decorative vase with the same brushed metal texture as the reference image

Expected output

An image of a vase with a textured metallic surface reflecting the reference material

Generate new images by combining a text prompt with visual reference guidance to shape style, subject, or composition.

Guide the output with visual context

Provide a reference image along with your text description to give the generator more cues about the look you want.

Reduce trial and error

Show what you mean visually instead of describing everything in words, making it easier to get closer to your intended result.

Combine text and visual direction

Use the reference image for overall style while the text prompt controls the specific subject and details of the output.

Using reference images effectively

Make the most of visual references alongside your text.

Input Constraints

  • Only use reference images you own or have permission to use.
  • Describe what you want in words as well as providing a reference.
  • Do not rely on a reference image alone without a text prompt.

Practical Tips

  • Use references for style, color, or composition rather than exact copies.
  • Describe which aspect of the reference you want to follow, such as mood or texture.
  • Try different references to see how each one influences the result.
  • Keep your text prompt specific even when using a strong reference image.

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.

Transfer painting style to a new subject

A portrait of a young woman with curly red hair, using the impressionist brushstroke style from my reference painting

Specifies a new subject while borrowing a distinct artistic technique from a reference, allowing style transfer without copying the original subject.

Match lighting mood from a reference photo

A coffee shop interior with customers at tables, using the warm golden-hour lighting from my reference photo

Defines the scene and borrows the lighting quality from a reference, creating a consistent mood without duplicating the setting.

Adopt composition framing from a reference

A street market at sunset, using the same wide-angle framing and foreground-background layering as my reference image

Applies a reference's compositional structure to a different scene, helping achieve a professional framing approach.

Use reference color grading for a new scene

A mountain landscape at dawn, using the muted pastel color grading from my reference photo

Borrows a color treatment from a reference to apply a cohesive aesthetic to a completely different subject.

Borrow texture detail from a reference

A close-up of a leather-bound book on a wooden desk, using the same textured fabric detail from my reference macro shot

References a material texture to add realism and detail to a different object, improving visual richness.

Limitations to know before generating

  • Reference images guide the output but do not guarantee exact replication of every detail.
  • You must own or have permission to use any reference image you provide.
  • Results depend on how clearly you describe which aspect of the reference to follow.
  • Complex references with many competing visual elements may produce less predictable results.
  • Generated images should be reviewed to ensure they do not reproduce copyrighted or sensitive elements from the reference.
