Getting an image right usually takes a few tries. Image Chat puts an AI image generator in a chat window, so each attempt is a message and you can see every version in one conversation instead of filling in a new form each time.
You write what you want to see: the subject, the setting, the style, the colors, the format. The chat sends your description to the default image model of your workspace and shows the result in the conversation. To try something different, write a new message with the change, such as a warmer light, a plain background or a wider frame.
Image Chat is useful when you are still exploring an idea. When you already know exactly what you need and want control over size, quality and style settings, the Image Generator with its full form is the better choice. Both use credits from your plan and count toward its image limits.
What you get
- Images generated from a plain description in a chat message
- Every version in the same conversation, easy to compare
- A quick way to try variations by changing one detail at a time
- Images you can download and use in posts, mockups or presentations
What you fill in
- Message required
-
Describe the image: subject, setting, style, colors, light and format. For a variation, describe the full image again with the change.
How to use it, step by step
-
Open Image Chat and describe the image
Write the subject first, then the setting, the style and the light. "A ceramic mug on a linen tablecloth, soft window light, minimalist product photo" gives the model a clear picture.
-
Look at the result
Check the subject, the composition and the details. Decide what you want to keep and what to change.
-
Ask for a variation
Write a new message that repeats the key details and states the change, for example "same mug and tablecloth, but with a dark wooden background". Restating the details gives the most predictable result.
-
Download the version you prefer
Save the image and check it at the size it will be used (a social post, a slide or a web banner) before you publish it.
Example, input and output
Input
- Message
- A top-down photo of a small wooden café table with two cappuccinos and a croissant on a white plate, soft morning light from the left, warm colors, square format, no text
Output
Illustrative example.
Tips for better results
- Change one thing per message. If you change light, angle and color at once, it is hard to tell what made the difference.
- Ask for no text in the image and add titles or prices later in your design tool, where you can control spelling and font.
- Name the format (square, vertical or horizontal) so the image fits where it will be used.
Who uses it, and for what
Social media managers
Explore a few visual ideas for a post in one conversation, then pick the one that fits the feed.
Small shops and cafés
Create mood images for a seasonal offer or a newsletter header when a photo shoot is not worth it.
Designers and marketers
Sketch the direction of a campaign visual before briefing a photographer or an illustrator.
Presenters and trainers
Get illustrations for slides that match the topic of each section, in a consistent style.
Limits and good practice
- Each message produces a new image. Small details can change between versions even when you ask for one change only.
- Text inside generated images is often misspelled. Add text afterwards in a design tool.
- Real people, logos and brand marks should not be reproduced. Use your own photos and assets for those.
- Each image uses credits and counts toward your plan's image limits. See the pricing page for the limits.
Frequently asked questions
How is Image Chat different from the Image Generator?
Image Chat works as a conversation: each message is a new image, and you can see all versions together. The Image Generator uses a form with options such as size, quality and style. Use the chat to explore an idea, the generator when you know what you need and want those settings.
Can I ask for changes to an image I already generated?
Yes, by sending a new message with the change. For the most predictable result, repeat the key details of the image and then state what should be different. Each message produces a new image, so some details may shift between versions.
Which image model does Image Chat use?
It uses the default image model set for your workspace, so you do not pick a model or a quality setting in the chat. If you need to control size, quality or style, use the Image Generator. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.
Can I use the images commercially?
You can use the images you generate in your own posts, mockups and materials, within the Terms of Service and the rules of the image model provider. Avoid images that imitate real people, logos or protected characters.
Why does the text in my image look wrong?
Image models are not good at spelling. Letters can come out distorted or wrong, especially in long words. Ask for an image with no text and add the headline, price or logo later in a design tool, where you control the font and the spelling.
