Creating images with artificial intelligence might feel like magic—you type in a few words and instantly see your ideas come to life. With MorningAI’s Studio, anyone can create scroll-stopping visuals—even if you’re just getting started. This guide walks you through the basics, explains key settings, and shares helpful tips to make your first image a success.

What is AI Image Generation

AI image generation turns text into pictures. You simply describe what you want to see, and Studio uses artificial intelligence to create it. This could be a photo, illustration, or even a digital artwork of anything you imagine - products, people, scenes, or even abstract designs.

Step-by-Step: How to Create an Image in Studio

Open the Image Generator

In Studio, click the “Image & Video” button.

You’ll see two tabs: one for images and one for videos.

Make sure the “Image” tab is selected.

Write Your Prompt

Type a short description of what you want to see (up to 1,500 characters).
Click “Generate” to create your image.
Studio will generate 4 images at a time.

💡 Pro Tip: The first few words in your prompt matter most. Start with the important stuff.

Prompting 101: How to Write a Great Prompt

Here’s a simple framework for writing better image prompts:

Subject

What should the image focus on?
Example: a cup of coffee, a pair of sneakers, a bottle of shampoo

Style

Do you want it to look realistic, artistic, clean, bold, vintage, or something else?

Scene & Details

What’s in the background? Is it indoors or outdoors? What time of day?

Branding Cues

Mention any brand colors, fonts, or visual elements you want included.

Use the Chat Assistant

Type a simple idea (like “make a picture of a refreshing soda”) into the Studio chatbot and ask it to enrich your prompt. You’ll get a much better result.

What to Do After Your Image Is Generated

Once your image appears, you’ll see several buttons:

Edit – Open the AI image editor
Download – Save it as a PNG (about 1.5MB)
Animate – Instantly turn your image into a short 5-second video (takes about one to two minutes)

Note: Advanced editing and animation are covered in separate guides.
