Follow this flow in Prompt to Image — the same pattern works whether you are on phone or desktop.
-
Open Prompt to Image
Launch Dessi in the browser and choose Prompt to Image. No install — start from Try free.
-
Write your prompt
Lead with the subject, then add setting, lighting, mood, style, and camera details. Use the Prompt Helper Pyramid Method for stronger results.
-
Set style & aspect ratio
Pick a style preset and framing (square, 16:9, portrait, and more) so the model knows composition before it renders.
-
Generate, refine, export
Review the preview, change one variable at a time, then download PNG or JPG when you are happy with the result.
Prompt tips that improve image quality
Small wording changes often shift the whole frame. Keep one baseline prompt and iterate.
Lighting & mood
Soft morning light, harsh noon, neon rim light — lighting drives realism and feel.
Style anchors
Reference a look: digital illustration, cinematic still, product photography.
Technical cues
Lens, depth of field, and resolution words help framing (e.g. 85mm, shallow DOF).
Negative prompts
Exclude noise: “no text, no watermark, no extra limbs” when results drift.
One change at a time
Adjust style or camera alone so you know what improved the render.
Starter prompts to generate images
Paste these into Prompt to Image, then swap subject or style to match your project.
“Young founder in a minimal home office, soft morning window light, confident focus, shallow depth of field, 85mm.”
“Matte ceramic bottle on marble, soft studio key light, clean negative space, commercial product photo.”
“Bioluminescent jellyfish in a glass dome, macro, moody rim light, highly detailed.”
