Image & Video
Overview
Image & Video enables you to create high-quality visual content from simple text descriptions or reference images. Generate static images or dynamic videos in any style, then refine them iteratively with additional prompts, upscale for high-resolution output, and even add lip-sync with audio. Export finished assets as standalone files or import them directly into Studio projects.
Guide
Follow these steps to create your first visual asset:
Select your mode
Use the toggle in the upper right corner of the prompt box to choose between Image or Video generation.
Provide a prompt or reference
Describe your desired output using natural language in the prompt box. For more control, drag existing images or videos from the Explore or History tabs into the reference slots, or upload your own reference images in a wide range of file formats including JPG, PNG, WEBP, and more.
Choose a model and settings
Select the ideal generative model for your goal (e.g., OpenAI Sora 2 Pro, Google Veo 3.1, Kling 2.5, Flux 1 Kontext Pro). See the Models section for detailed information on each model. Adjust settings like aspect ratio, resolution, duration (for video), and the number of variations to generate.
Generate your asset
Click the Generate button. Your assets will be created and displayed in the History tab for review.
Workflow
The creation process moves you from inspiration to finished asset in four stages:
Explore
Discover community creations to find inspiration, study effective prompts, or pull references directly into your own work.
Generate
Use the prompt box to describe what you want to create, select a model, fine-tune your settings, and bring your idea to life.
History
Review your generations in the History tab to iterate and enhance. Recreate variations, reuse prompts, and apply enhancements like upscaling and lip-syncing.
Export
Download finished assets in various formats or send them directly to Studio to use in your projects.
Explore
The Explore tab displays a gallery of community creations for discovering inspiration and finding visuals to use as references.
Search: Use the search bar to find images and videos based on keywords.
Sort: Toggle between Trending and Newest to see what’s popular or recently added.
Drag-and-drop: Pull any result from the grid directly into the prompt box to use as a start frame, end frame, or style reference.
Preview details: Click any tile to see the full prompt and settings used to create it.
Generate
The prompt box is anchored at the bottom of the page and provides all controls for creating visual content.
Set mode and prompt
Select mode: Use the toggle in the upper right corner to switch between Image and Video generation.
Write your prompt: In the main field, describe what you want to generate using natural language. Be clear and descriptive for best results.
Choose models and settings
Select model: Open the model menu to browse available options like OpenAI Sora 2 Pro, Google Veo 3.1, Kling 2.5, or Flux 1 Kontext Pro. Each model has unique strengths and capabilities listed for easy comparison. See the Models section for detailed information.
Adjust settings: Fine-tune your generation with settings that appear below the prompt. These vary by model but often include:
- Aspect Ratio: Control the dimensions of your output
- Resolution: Set the quality level
- Duration: Specify video length (for video mode)
- Number of Generations: Create up to 4 variations at once
Use controls: On supported models, enable Audio, add a Negative Prompt to exclude unwanted elements, or adjust Sound Control.
Add references
For greater control over output, add visual references to guide generation. Availability depends on the selected model. We support a wide range of image file formats including JPG, PNG, WEBP, and more.
Start Frame (Video): Sets the opening image of your video.
End Frame (Video): Sets the final image, influencing the transition.
Image Refs (Image or Video): Provide one or more images to guide overall style and look.
Drag and drop items directly from the Explore or History tabs into reference slots for a faster workflow.
Generate
Before generating, a cost indicator shows the total cost for the number of assets you’ve chosen to create. When ready, click Generate. Your new creations will appear in the History tab.
History
The History tab provides a chronological log of everything you’ve generated and serves as a workspace for refining previous work.
Browse: View all past images and videos.
Inspect: Click any asset to see the original prompt, model, and settings used to create it.
Reuse: Drag items from History back into the prompt box to use as references for new generations.
Iterate: Click Recreate to run the same prompt and settings again for a new variation, or adjust settings to guide generation in a new direction.
Share: Click Share to generate a unique link for your asset. Send it to teammates and collaborators for feedback.
Export: Download your asset as a standalone file or click Edit in Studio to import it directly into Studio.
Export
Once you have a generation you’re satisfied with, use built-in enhancement tools before exporting.
Enhancing your creations
Upscale: Use Topaz Upscale to increase resolution by up to 4x while preserving sharp details.
LipSync: Apply realistic lip-syncing to your visuals:
- Omnihuman 1.5: Animate a static image with an audio track
- Veed LipSync: Dub an existing video with new audio
Exporting your assets
Export finished assets by downloading them locally or sending them directly to Studio.
Edit in Studio: Import the asset directly into a Studio project.
Download: Save the asset to your local machine.
