Text-to-Image
In one sentence
The AI capability to generate images from a text description, or generate new images based on a reference image (image-to-image).
Text-to-image models generate images based on the subject, scene, style, and composition specified in the prompt. Keep three things in mind for commercial use: avoid explicitly naming copyrighted brands, characters, and works; ensure people and products match reality; and proofread any text within the image word for word for typos.
For elements that must remain exact, such as company logos, use the original image file directly rather than having AI redraw them.
Example
Enter 'White background, a silver robot vacuum parked on wooden flooring, top-down shot, soft natural lighting' to generate a product scene image.
