Create Image is the core of ImagineArt’s Image Studio. By translating natural language into high-fidelity visuals, it lets you go from concept to finished image without complex software or manual rendering. Choose from a range of state-of-the-art AI models—each with its own strengths—and generate images that match your exact creative vision.

Generating your first image

1

Open Image mode

Go to imagine.art/image. This opens the Image Studio, where all generation controls are available in the left-hand settings panel.
2

Select a model

Choose the AI model you want to generate with. Each model has different strengths—see the model comparison below. The default model is Flux Dev, which balances speed and detail well for most use cases.
Hover over any model name for about 3 seconds to see its credit cost and a short description before committing to it.

Write your prompt

Type your description in the prompt box. The more specific and detailed your prompt, the more accurately the AI will match your intent.Example prompts to try:
  • A cinematic portrait of a woman in a neon-lit Tokyo alley, rain-soaked streets, shallow depth of field, 35mm film
  • Architectural visualization of a minimalist beach house at golden hour, aerial view, photorealistic
  • A whimsical children's book illustration of a fox wearing a red scarf, soft watercolor style
  • Product shot of a matte black coffee mug on a marble surface, studio lighting, commercial photography
Include descriptive details about lighting, mood, style, camera angle, and subject matter. Prompts like “a dog” will produce generic results; “a golden retriever puppy sitting in autumn leaves, soft natural light, bokeh background, portrait photography” will produce something specific and polished.

Adjust settings

Configure your generation settings in the panel:
  • Aspect ratio — Choose from standard ratios like 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, and more depending on the model. Select the ratio that matches your intended output format (e.g., 9:16 for mobile, 16:9 for widescreen, 1:1 for social media).
  • Number of images — Generate between 1 and 4 images per run. Generating more images per batch lets you compare results and pick the best one.
  • Resolution — Some models support higher resolution outputs (2K or 4K). Higher resolutions cost more credits.
  • Prompt enhancer — When enabled, ImagineArt automatically expands and refines your prompt before sending it to the model.
Your total credit cost updates dynamically as you change settings. Hover over the Create button to see the exact cost before generating.
