What is AI Image Generation?
AI image generation uses machine learning models to create images from text descriptions called "prompts." You describe what you want to see, and the AI creates it. No artistic skills required.
Your First Image in 3 Steps
1. Write a Prompt
A prompt is simply a text description of the image you want. Start simple:
- "A cat sitting on a windowsill"
- "Sunset over mountains"
- "A futuristic city at night"
- Nano Banana - Fast and lightweight (1 credit). Great for quick iterations.
- Flux Schnell - Fast with high quality (2 credits). Good all-rounder.
- Flux Dev - More detail and control (5 credits). Best for detailed work.
- Flux Pro - Premium quality (10 credits). When quality matters most.

2. Choose a Model
Renderella offers 7+ AI models, each with different strengths:
3. Generate!
Click the Generate button and wait a few seconds. Your image will appear on the canvas.
Tips for Better Results
Be specific. Instead of "a dog," try "a golden retriever puppy playing in autumn leaves, warm afternoon light, shallow depth of field."
Use style presets. Renderella has 20 built-in styles like Anime, Cinematic, Pixel Art, and Cyberpunk. These automatically add style-specific prompt enhancements.
Use Snippets. Create reusable prompt fragments with the #tag system. Type # in your prompt to see available snippets.
Adjust parameters. More inference steps generally means more detail (but slower). Guidance scale controls how closely the AI follows your prompt.
