AI Image Generation Guide for Beginners

What is AI Image Generation?

AI image generation is a revolutionary technology that creates stunning visual content from text descriptions. Using advanced machine learning models, you can transform your imagination into reality with just a few words.

How Does It Work?

AI image generation models are trained on millions of images and their descriptions. When you provide a text prompt, the AI understands your request and creates a unique image that matches your description.

Getting Started with AI Pictures

Step 1: Sign Up and Choose Your Plan

• Free Plan: Start with 50 credits to explore the platform
• Pro Plan: 1,000 credits monthly for regular users ($9.9/month)
• Max Plan: 3,000 credits monthly for power users ($25.9/month)

Step 2: Understanding Credits

Credits are the currency of AI image generation. Each image generation typically costs 1-5 credits depending on:

• Image resolution
• Model complexity
• Number of variations requested

Step 3: Your First Generation

1. Navigate to the AI Pictures page
2. Enter a descriptive prompt in the text box
3. Select your preferred settings (resolution, style, etc.)
4. Click "Generate" and watch the magic happen!

Essential Concepts

Prompts

Your text description that tells the AI what to create. The more detailed and specific, the better your results.

Styles

Different artistic approaches like photorealistic, cartoon, oil painting, digital art, etc.

Aspect Ratios

The width-to-height ratio of your image (square, portrait, landscape).

Negative Prompts

Tell the AI what NOT to include in your image for better control.

Pro Tips for Better Results

1. Be Specific

Good: "A majestic golden retriever sitting in a sunny meadow with wildflowers" Better: "A majestic golden retriever with flowing fur sitting in a sunny meadow filled with purple wildflowers, soft natural lighting, photorealistic style"

2. Use Descriptive Adjectives

• Colors: vibrant, muted, pastel, neon
• Lighting: dramatic, soft, golden hour, cinematic
• Style: photorealistic, artistic, minimalist, detailed

3. Specify the Medium

• "Oil painting of..."

• "Bird's eye view"
• "Low angle shot"
