02. Select the inputs you want to use

Depending on the image type, you can create with text only, transform an uploaded image, or copy an existing reference design.

  • Text only: describe the result you want.
  • Use my image: upload a product, portrait, sketch, item, room, or design.
  • Copy an existing design: found a social media post, advertisement, product photo, ecommerce image, flyer, or design you love? Simply upload a screenshot of the design along with your own photo, product, or image. Softbook AI will intelligently recreate the style, composition, layout, lighting, colors, and visual direction while replacing the original content with yours. It's one of the fastest ways to achieve professional-quality marketing, branding, ecommerce, and social media visuals without hiring a designer.

07. Reuse, share, and duplicate successful image settings

Once your image has been generated, Softbook AI saves all generation settings so you can easily reproduce the same visual style, composition, and quality in future projects. Instead of rebuilding prompts and settings from scratch, you can instantly reuse successful creations as templates.

Open any generated image and access its settings page to create new variations using the exact same configuration. This is perfect for building consistent social media campaigns, product catalogs, brand assets, marketing materials, and visual collections while saving significant time.

You can also publish and share your image settings with others using a unique link. Friends, team members, customers, or followers can open the shared template and generate their own versions with a single click, making collaboration and content creation faster than ever.

Tips for better AI images

Describe the visual goal

Mention the subject, composition, lighting, background, mood, and final use case.

Use clear uploads

For product, portrait, or transformation work, upload sharp images with good lighting and visible details.

Choose the right size

Use square for general posts, portrait for mobile-first content, and landscape for wide banners or scenes.
