FAQ

What is an AI text to image generator?

An AI text to image generator creates images based on written prompts. You describe the subject, style, and mood, and the tool generates visual options.

How do I write a good text-to-image prompt?

Be specific about the subject, setting, style, lighting, and composition. Add what to avoid (like “no text” or “no watermark”) to reduce unwanted artifacts.

Can I generate images for ads and social media?

Yes. Generate multiple variations, keep layouts simple, and leave space where you’ll place text overlays in your design tool.

Why does the generator add random text or logos?

Some models try to mimic real-world posters and packaging. Add “no text, no logo, no watermark” to your prompt to reduce it.

Which styles work best for website headers?

Clean editorial photos, minimal 3D renders, or flat illustrations tend to work well because they leave space for headline text.

Can I use these images commercially?

In many cases, yes, but rules depend on the specific tool and license. Review the terms for your chosen generator before using images in paid campaigns.

How many variations should I generate?

Start with 4–8 variations, pick the best one, then refine the prompt to improve composition, colors, and details.

How do I get consistent brand visuals?

Use the same prompt structure, repeat your brand palette, specify a consistent style (like “flat vector illustration”), and keep composition rules consistent.
