# Getting Started
Create your ImagineArt account, choose a plan, and generate your first image or video in minutes.
## Create your first Image
Go to [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click **Sign In** in the top-right corner. You can sign up using any of the following:
* **Google** — sign in with your Google account
* **Facebook** — sign in with your Facebook account
* **Discord** — sign in with your Discord account
* **Email** — enter an email address and create a password
Once you complete sign-up, you land on your ImagineArt dashboard and your account is ready to use.
All new accounts receive **100 free credits per day** — no subscription required. Free credits reset every 24 hours and are a great way to explore the platform before committing to a plan.
When you're ready to unlock more credits, Pro models, and advanced features, visit the [Pricing page](https://www.imagine.art/subscription) to compare subscription plans (Standard, Ultimate, and Creator).
Pro models (labeled "Pro" in the interface) require an active subscription. Free daily credits cannot be used to access them.
From your dashboard, navigate to the **Image** tab at [imagine.art/image](https://www.imagine.art/image) to generate still images, or the **Video** tab at [imagine.art/video](https://www.imagine.art/video) to produce short video clips. Each tab is a self-contained creative studio.
At the bottom of the screen you'll find the **prompt box** — this is where you describe what you want to create. You can be brief or highly detailed; the AI handles both styles.
A few prompts to get you started:
* `a cozy coffee shop on a rainy evening`
* `futuristic cityscape at sunset, neon lights, cyberpunk style`
* `playful golden retriever puppy in a field of flowers`
Prompt crafting is a skill that develops over time. Short prompts produce quick results; detailed prompts with style, lighting, and composition cues give you greater control over the output.
Click the **Create** button. ImagineArt sends your prompt to the selected AI model and returns results shortly:
* **Images** — four variations, typically ready in 4–15 seconds depending on the model and settings.
* **Videos** — one clip, typically ready in 30–60 seconds depending on the model and settings.
You've created your first ImagineArt image or video.
## Use images to guide your creations
Beyond text prompts, you can use images as creative input. Inside the prompt box, click the **+** icon to open the **Add Image** tray. Four modes are available:
| Mode | What it does |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Create (Image Prompt)** | Defines content, composition, style, and colors based on your reference image |
| **Edit Mode** | Customizes and tweaks an existing image with AI assistance |
| **Style** | Matches the visual look and feel of a reference image across your generations |
| **First or Last Frame** | Controls the start or end frame of a video for dynamic sequencing |
## Add animation to images
You can turn any still image — including images you generated with ImagineArt — into a video. Head to the Video tab and use the **Image to Video** feature to upload a static image and animate it with fluid, realistic motion.
## Explore the creative suite
