Prompting Guide

What works best

  • Object changes: change colors or orientation
  • Text editing: replace text in signs, posters, and labels
  • Background swapping: change environments while preserving subjects

Prompting best practices

Be specific

  • Use clear, detailed language with exact colors and descriptions
  • Avoid vague terms like "make it better"
  • Your prompt is applied to a single image. Describe the group of objects by addressing the common object. Be as specific as you can while still keeping your description accurate for all objects.
  • If all elements of a group are of one type, name subjects directly: "the chair" vs. "the object"

Preserve intentionally

  • Specify what should stay the same: "while keeping the same lighting and colors"
  • Use "maintain the original composition" to preserve layout
  • For background changes: "Change the background to a beach while keeping the person in the exact same position"

Text editing tips

  • If preserving text and logos within objects is important, change the model in your account settings from pro to max. This consumes twice as many tokens per image.
  • Use quotation marks: "replace 'old text' with 'new text'"
  • Match text length when possible to preserve layout
