How to create an image online
1. Describe your idea
Open the generator. Describe the scene and put the exact words you want in quotation marks. Try this sample:
A portrait night-market poster with a lantern-lit street background.
Large headline: "NIGHT MARKET".
Supporting lines: "Fri–Sun · 6PM–11PM" and "Riverside Park".
Keep all lettering readable. Add no other text.The event details are examples; replace them before using the poster for a real event.
2. Choose the format and generate
Choose 3:4 and Standard for this poster, then click Generate. The design is prepared in the background and the finished image appears directly.
3. Review and refine if needed
Read the finished headline, times and location. Choose Edit text to change wording through image editing. Choose Adjust layout to open the saved layout, move or resize boxes, and generate a new version. Both actions use the credits shown on their buttons; regenerating a layout may change other image details.
4. Download
Select Download, then check the saved image at the size you will actually use. Proofread event details before posting or printing.
What does free access include?
Visitor access provides credits for one Standard image, without registration. Network limits and the site’s daily allowance apply. If the free allowance is unavailable or used, follow the sign-in prompt and check the credits available to your account. HD images and further generations require enough credits.
For more control over wording, see the prompt guide.
Questions

Free access depends on the service you use. Our visitor allowance covers one Standard image for eligible visitors. Further generation uses credits; running locally also requires hardware and electricity.
Why is the free image unavailable?
The network allowance may already have been used, or the site may have reached its daily limit. Follow the message shown by the generator.
Do I need to write in English?
No. You can describe the scene in Chinese or English. Keep visible wording in its intended language and proofread the output.
Do I need to write JSON?
No. Generate the image first. If you want to change its arrangement afterwards, open the saved layout.
