Start

Your first image

From a prompt to a downloaded file in five steps. Takes about a minute.

Before you start

  • A SwisserAI account with at least 100 credits for a Standard image. New accounts start with enough.
  • An idea of what the picture should show. We make a locker door texture here.

The five steps

  1. 1

    Open Images

    In the sidebar open Images. The page lists your images; press Generate image at the top right, or N anywhere on the page.

    1. 1. Generate image: a new image from a text prompt
    2. 2. Edit image: change a picture you already have
    3. 3. Search by prompt
    4. 4. All, Working, Ready, Failed: filter by status
  2. 2

    Write the prompt

    Describe the picture in one or two sentences: the subject, a style and the light. For a texture, add "front on" and "seamless texture". The checklist under the field explains each point when you hover it.

    1. 1. What makes a great prompt: hover a point for the tip
  3. 3

    Choose quality, aspect ratio and format

    Keep Standard for a first try. Pick 1:1 for a texture or 16:9 for a background, and the file format you need. The price is at the bottom left.

    1. 1. Prompt: what the image should show
    2. 2. Quality: Fast, Standard or Premium, with the price
    3. 3. Aspect ratio
    4. 4. Format: WebP, JPEG or PNG
    5. 5. Reference image: optional, Standard and Premium
    6. 6. Generate: the price is on the left
  4. 4

    Generate

    Press Generate. The dialog closes and the image appears at the top of the list, marked as working. A Standard image is usually ready in a few seconds.

  5. 5

    Open and download it

    Click the image to open its result page. Download saves the file in the format you picked.

    1. 1. Edit this image: opens Edit image with this picture
    2. 2. Download: the file in the format you picked
    3. 3. Details: quality, size, format and credits

Good to know

Not quite right? Generating again with a sharper prompt costs a new image. Small changes to a good result are cheaper to get with Edit.
