Prompt Formulas
Prompts are used to describe the content contained in images and are key factors in controlling picture content and effects. The more complete, precise, and rich the prompt description, the higher the quality of the generated image and the closer it is to the expected generated content. To help you get started faster, we provide two prompt usage formulas for different usage needs.
Basic Formula
Target Users: Suitable for new users trying AI creation for the first time, and users who use AI as inspiration. Simple and free prompts can generate more imaginative images.
Prompt = Subject + Scene + Style
Subject

Scene

Style

Advanced Formula
Target Users: Suitable for users with some AI image generation experience. Adding richer and more detailed descriptions on top of the basic formula can effectively improve picture quality, detail richness, and expressiveness.
