Guide to getimg.ai Generators and Actions

Generators and Actions

getimg.ai has two kinds of tools, and knowing which one you want saves the most time.

• Generators are the nine general-purpose tools in the sidebar. Each one covers a whole job rather than a single outcome, so you steer it yourself. Five start from a prompt you write; the other four start from a file you add.
• Actions are presets, each built to produce one specific result. You add a source file, pick from fixed menus, and generate. There is no prompt to craft, though a few ask for a short detail in plain words.

Both run on the same account, plan, credits and models, and neither overwrites your source: every run produces a new file and leaves the original in your gallery.

The generators

In the sidebar, the Tools section holds Actions and the nine generators, which are grouped under Image, Video and Audio. Click a group to open it, then pick a tool.

• Image: Create image, Resize image, Remove background, Upscale image
• Video: Create video, Upscale video
• Audio: Create music, Create speech, Create sound effect

They do not all work the same way. Create image, Create video, Create music, Create speech and Create sound effect start from a prompt box at the bottom of the page. Resize image, Remove background, Upscale image and Upscale video have no prompt box at all: you click the box at the bottom to add a file, or drag one in, then set the options that apply, such as the target aspect ratio or resolution.

What every generator page does share is its layout: a gallery above showing everything you have made with that tool, and the controls below, which are a prompt box, an upload area, or both. Click the arrow to start. Originals are never overwritten, so each run adds a new file and leaves your source in place.

How an Action page works

Every Action follows the same four steps, so once you have run one you can run any of them.

1. Open Actions under Tools in the sidebar and pick the Action you want. Each one lives on its own page, at a URL under /app/actions/.
2. Add your source file in the box on the left: upload it, drag and drop it, or pick one straight from your gallery. Character creator is the only Action that needs no file, while Character swap and Image transition each take two images.
3. Choose from the options listed on the page. Most are fixed menus rather than free text. A few Actions add an optional field for what the menus do not cover, and UGC video asks you to type the product name and its selling points, because the presenter has to say them out loud.
4. Set the output options that Action offers, such as quality, aspect ratio, clip length or how many versions you want, then click the arrow. Results appear in the gallery on the right.

The Actions

There are 21 Actions: 17 that make images and 4 that make video. They are grouped below by the kind of job they do.
