Do I need to write very long, detailed prompts?

No. You can write short, casual descriptions (e.g., "oil painting of a girl picking flowers") because getimg.ai uses smart prompt enhancement . This feature automatically fills in visual details like lighting and texture to create high-quality results. However, if you need specific details included, write them down: the enhancement will fill gaps but will not override your specific instructions.

How many images can I generate at one time?

You can choose to generate a batch of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 images in a single click. When generating a batch, the AI varies the prompt slightly for each image, giving you a variety of results to choose from.

How do I save my generated images directly to a specific folder?

To keep your workspace organized, simply open the desired folder in the sidebar before you start generating. Any images you create while that folder is open will be saved there automatically.

What is the difference between Auto Mode and Custom Mode?

Auto Mode is the default setting; it automatically selects the best AI model and settings for your prompt. We recommend this for most users. Custom Mode allows you to manually select a specific AI model and gives you the option to disable prompt enhancement if you want total control over the raw input.

How many reference images can I use?

You can attach up to 10 reference images to a single generation. These references help guide the AI to match a specific face, artistic style, object, mood, or location in your final result.

Can I edit an image immediately after generating it?

Yes. Once your images appear, click on one to open the Full View . From there, you will see a prompt box below the image where you can immediately type instructions to edit or refine that specific result.

What are Elements, and do I need them to get started?

Elements are reusable visual concepts you can create for people, products, or styles you use often. They are optional. You can start with simple prompts and reference images, and switch to Elements later when you want more consistency.

Guide to Image Generation Basics

Learn how to create images in getimg.ai using simple prompts, optional references, and a few quick settings, no experience needed.

Step 1. Write a prompt

At the bottom, you’ll see the prompt box: that’s where all your image creation starts.

Make sure the content type is set to Image, then simply describe what you want to generate.

Examples:

black & white portrait photo of a man in a tuxedo, chiaroscuro lighting
fantasy landscape with waterfalls and glowing plants
oil painting of a girl picking flowers.

Thanks to our smart prompt enhancement feature, even short, casual prompts produce detailed, high-quality results.

Buy if you need something very specific, just say it. Enhancement only fills in gaps, it doesn’t override your instructions.

Step 2. (Optional) Add References or Elements

References help match a face, style, object, mood, or location for a single image.

If you plan to reuse the same person, product, or style across multiple images, Elements are a better option. Elements let you define something once and reuse it without attaching reference images each time.

Adding Reference images

To add Reference images:

Click the "Reference" icon in the prompt box, then pick from existing images, or upload a new image.
Drag and drop an image from the gallery into the prompt box.

You can attach up to 10 references. They’ll appear as thumbnails above the prompt: hover over them and click X to remove any if necessary.

Tip:

Read our Image References Guide to learn more.

Using Elements

Elements are reusable visual concepts like people, products, or styles.

Once you create an Element, you can add it to your prompt by typing @ElementName or selecting it from the Elements button in the prompt box.

Step 3. Choose basic settings

In the prompt box, you can set:

Aspect ratio: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5
Images per batch: 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16.

Each image in a batch is slightly different. getimg.ai varies the prompt subtly for more variety.

By default, you’re in Auto Mode, which automatically picks the best model and settings. We recommend sticking to it.

But if you’d like to pick the model yourself or disable prompt enhancement, you can switch to Custom Mode.

Tip:

See the Image Generation Parameters Guide for more details.

Step 4. Generate

Click the arrow in the prompt box to start generating your images.

While they are being created, you can queue the next batch right away.

Tip:

If you have a folder open when starting a generation, new images will save there automatically.

Once your images are ready:

Hover over one to like, delete, download, recreate, or use as reference
Click an image for full view, where you can:

🟣 Copy the original or enhanced prompt

🟣 Add it to a folder

🟣 Edit it using the prompt box below the image

🟣 View details such as creator name, size, and creation date.

That’s it! Start simple, experiment a little, and see how fast your ideas turn into great results.
