Write better prompts

A prompt is a brief, and specific briefs get better images. Vague in, vague out. Learn to stack the parts of a prompt - subject, setting, style, lighting and a finish - and you will spend far less time re-rolling and far more time happy with the result.

What you will learn

  • The prompt formula that reliably works
  • How to name a style and a lighting setup
  • When and how to use a negative prompt
  • How to refine instead of starting over

Why prompting is the whole game

The model can only draw what you describe. A prompt like “a dog” leaves a thousand decisions to chance; “a golden retriever puppy running on a sunny beach, splashing water, motion blur, photographic” makes those decisions for you. The single biggest jump in quality most people ever get is simply being specific.

Build a prompt up, part by part

Watch a weak prompt become a strong one:

  • a mountain - too vague
  • a snowy mountain peak at sunrise - add subject + time
  • …alpenglow, dramatic clouds, wide cinematic shot - add mood + framing
  • …highly detailed, sharp focus - add a finish

Each line removes ambiguity. The prompt structure guide breaks the formula down, and how to write prompts is packed with examples.

Style, lighting and what to leave out

Name a style (photographic, watercolour, 3D render) and a lighting setup (golden hour, soft studio, moody) and the model snaps to them. To remove unwanted things - extra fingers, text, clutter - list them in a negative prompt. Selling something? The product photo prompts guide is a shortcut.

Skip the blank page: ready-made prompts

You do not have to write every prompt from scratch. A full prompt template library - dozens of ready prompts grouped by use (portrait, product, social, logo) and by style (photography, anime, cinematic, 3D and more) - is built into your workspace. Each one loads into the generator with a single click, with the right style and settings already selected.

The template library and the in-app prompt guide unlock as soon as you create a free account. Sign up, open Prompt guide in the workspace, pick a template, swap in your subject and generate.
