Tips for using the online AI image generator.
The best image generation starts with a solid concept, a simple image prompt, and some strong reference images. Start with a simple phrase, such as ‘raining soccer balls in the desert.’ Then experiment with different words to see what else Text to Image can create for you. For the best results, be as descriptive as possible. Use simple text prompts and iterate.
Upload reference images or create in stages.
Upload an image with the style you want to replicate, for example, a white 3D sphere on a blue background. Then build on that structure to generate similar shapes like basketballs, soccer balls, or anything round you can imagine. You can also use generative AI to create images, then reuse the images as style references later.

Text to image is a type of generative AI technology that lets you create images with nothing more than a few words. The AI engine receives each word in a text description as an instruction, and it builds the image based on the combination of words and their relationships to one another.
Text-to-image AI generators work like other types of artificial intelligence, using machine learning models and huge datasets to produce their results. In other words, the AI model learns from thousands and thousands of pictures. It creates brand-new images by applying what it has learned to the everyday language you enter in the prompt field. Adobe Firefly generative AI models are safe to use in commercial projects as they are trained on a dataset of Adobe Stock, openly licensed work, and public domain content where copyright has expired.
