Three ways to work
Switch between them with Templates · Canvas · Nodes at the top of the app.
Templates: speed
Pick one of 56 templates (Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape, Real Estate, Technical, Urban Planning), add your image, set a few options and render. See Templates.
Canvas: control
Write your own prompt, cite your images with @, pick the model, format and resolution. Open any result to edit it with words, a brush, arrows or comments, or to animate it. See Canvas and Video.
Nodes: workflows
Wire images, prompts, generations, edits, upscales and videos into a graph you can run again and again. See Nodes.
Upscale
Enlarge any image: Free ×2 on your own graphics card, or Quick in the cloud (faithful, about 20 s, up to 4K). From the viewer, an Upscale node, the Upscale to 4K template or any template's result. See Upscale.
