# Image Studio

Part of the SocialArt.ai documentation. Index: https://socialart.ai/llms.txt · Open the studio: https://socialart.ai/studio/image

## How it works

1. Choose a model from the picker. Recommended models are marked; NSFW-capable models carry a label.
2. Write a prompt, or let the Prompt Agent write one (https://socialart.ai/llms/prompt-agent.txt).
3. Optionally add reference images: uploads, images from your history, or a saved character. The maximum number of references depends on the model.
4. Set aspect ratio or size, resolution (1K, 2K or 4K where supported), quality tier and the number of images (up to 4 per request; Kling Image O1 up to 2).
5. Check the credit cost next to the generate button and generate.

Results appear at the top of your history with live progress.

## Modes

- **Text-to-image.** Generate from a prompt alone.
- **Image editing / image-to-image.** Add one or more reference images and describe the change: replace objects, change backgrounds or outfits, restyle, combine several references into one scene. Most models switch to edit mode automatically when references are present.
- **Character references.** Pick a saved character and the model receives its reference photos, keeping the same person consistent across generations.
- **Model-specific options.** Negative prompts, seeds, web search (Nano Banana 2), face-control elements (Kling), quality tiers (Seedream, Wan, GPT Image).

## Image to Prompt

Reverse-engineer any image into a reusable prompt. Upload an image or pick one from your history, choose plain text or structured JSON, and fast or pro:

- **Fast** (text or JSON): quick analysis at a low cost.
- **Pro** (text or JSON): more detailed analysis at a higher cost.

The result is inserted into the prompt field and can be edited before generating.

## History, albums and sharing

- **History** keeps every result. Search it and open any image to see its prompt and settings.
- **Pin** favourites so they sort first.
- **Albums** group images per project or client; add an image to an album from its menu.
- **Public or private.** Generations are private by default; toggle individual images public.
- **Download** originals, or reuse an image as a reference for the next generation.
- **Delete** images you no longer need to free up storage.

## Image models

Every model with its modes, reference support, resolutions and aspect ratios. The studio shows the credit cost of a generation before you start it. "Mature" marks models that are NSFW-capable for adult creators.
