However, when it comes to AI, you get out of it what you put in, meaning that coming up with the right prompt is crucial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn how to use AI ImageGen to its fullest potential, here are some tried-and-tested tips for writing effective prompts that generate the best possible results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/lp\/every-type-of-asset\/?ec_promo=ctr-q3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ai-stack-blog-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ai-stack-blog-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ai-stack-blog-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ai-stack-blog-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ai-stack-blog-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ai-stack-blog.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI ImageGen do\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prioritize subject over style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, ensure you describe the object, person, or subject\u2014not the style. For example, we recommend searching for \u201cKoala on a beach\u201d rather than \u201cWatercolor and Illustration image of a koala on a beach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Start with a broad search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of going right in with a super specific idea, start with a broad prompt first. This will help you find the style you are looking for, and allow you to refine it using more detailed prompts. You can remove unnecessary words too, for example, instead of writing \u201cGenerate a photo of a city in a storm\u201d you can simply write \u201cCity in a storm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Do experiment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try a range of different prompts to test out the tool. The results provide an opportunity for finding inspiration as they will showcase a range of diverse styles. If you see a style you like, click \u201cUse Style\u201d to iterate further.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI ImageGen Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Treat AI ImageGen as a chatbot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ImageGen is not a chatbot. It doesn&#8217;t remember what you wrote last, therefore every prompt is a new request. This is because we speak to several different AI Image Generation models on the internet and they are not all keeping track of your previous request. We may be sending a new request to a new model that wasn\u2019t used in your last request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, this succession of prompts won\u2019t work on AI ImageGen after conducting a search:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now add a hat&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change the hat to sunglasses&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Specify sizes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentioning 16:9 or hi-res has no impact on the generated images. Currently, all images are rendered at 1024&#215;1024. Size editing features are coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Search for text, numbers or NSFW terms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Searches that are Not Safe For Work, including numbers or asking for text will likely not work. Keep your search to safe keywords for best results.<br>For example the following prompts will not work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cWords that say [welcome home]\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cNumber 6 on a computer screen\u201d\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI ImageGen FAQs&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ImageGen-NewLogo-1024x683.png\" alt=\"How to Generate AI images\" class=\"wp-image-87463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ImageGen-NewLogo-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ImageGen-NewLogo-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ImageGen-NewLogo-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ImageGen-NewLogo.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve designed AI ImageGen to be super easy to use\u2014with just a few clicks and a dash of creativity, you\u2019ll be on your way to conjuring a wealth of AI-generated images to transform your creative projects into unique masterpieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if AI ImageGen has still got you asking \u201cWhat the FAQ?\u201d, we\u2019re here to help! Read on for answers to some of the most common questions about Envato\u2019s AI ImageGen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How should I start using the AI image generator?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering <strong>how to generate AI images<\/strong>, it&#8217;s simple, start with simple prompts. Initially, use basic terms like &#8220;sunset,&#8221; &#8220;forest,&#8221; or &#8220;cat.&#8221; This approach helps you understand the range of styles and capabilities of the tool. Once familiar, you can start experimenting with more complex ideas, such as describing the subject in more detail e.g describe the scene, time of day, elements you want included or expressions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What types of styles can I expect from the generator?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our AI is capable of creating a wide range of artistic styles, from realistic portrayals to abstract interpretations. As you experiment with different prompts, you&#8217;ll discover various artistic renditions the AI can produce. E.g. you\u2019ll witness illustrative, photo realistic, neon, explosive, poster, oil painting and more appear depending on your search. Once you find a style you like you can change the subject to create your vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How can I get the specific image I have in mind?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know what you&#8217;re looking for, refine your prompt by adding more detail. Describe the scene, mood, objects, and any specific elements you wish to include. The more detailed your description, the closer the result will be to your vision. For example, instead of just &#8220;cat,&#8221; try &#8220;a fluffy white cat under a blooming cherry tree at sunrise.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Are there any limitations to the kinds of images I can generate?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While our AI is versatile, it has limitations in understanding extremely complex or abstract concepts. It&#8217;s also programmed to adhere to ethical guidelines and avoid creating inappropriate or offensive content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Can I influence the color scheme or mood of the image?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! Include in your prompt any specific colors, lighting, or mood you desire. For instance, &#8220;a serene blue and purple landscape with soft moonlight&#8221; can guide the AI to your preferred color palette and atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How can I improve the quality of the images I generate?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Practice and experimentation are key. Try varying your prompts, observe the outcomes, and adjust accordingly. Detailed and creative descriptions often yield the most striking images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. What should I do if the image isn&#8217;t what I expected?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>AI image generation can sometimes be unpredictable. If the result isn&#8217;t what you expected, try adjusting your prompt for clarity or adding\/removing specific details. It&#8217;s often a process of trial and error to achieve the perfect result. We are working on including more advanced features, like negative prompting, to help you specify what you do not want to see in an image &#8211;&nbsp; &#8211; stay tuned!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. When should I vote thumbs up or thumbs down on an image?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Vote Thumbs Up when you think the AI ImageGen created the image or style you were after. Vote Thumbs Down when AI ImageGen provided something inappropriate, off topic or poor quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Where can I use the images I generate and download? Are they commercially licensed?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Seamlessly integrate any AI-generated images you create into your personal, professional, or commercial projects as part of an end product with our simple licensing terms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Started with AI ImageGen Today!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Start creating with Envato&#8217;s AI image generator, and see how it can streamline your creative process.
