Creating an image

Create unique, high-quality AI-generated images. Describe your idea, define your style, and let Aria bring your vision to life.

To create an image:

  1. Go to Wixel.

  2. Choose how to generate the image you want in the text box:

    • Describe what you want to create: Enter a description like "Create an image of a puppy". You can also specify the style or mood of the image.

    • Add a reference image: Click the Add icon  in the text box to upload an image, then describe what you want to create with it.

    • Promote your business on social media: Create posts for a product launch, a service, or event. Name the type of post you want (e.g. "Create an Instagram story") and you'll automatically get the right size for that platform.
      Tip: Add a link to your site or business page to get a post that matches your logo, fonts, and colors.

  3. Click the Generate icon .

  4. Once the image is generated, choose what you want to do:

    • Preview the image: Click the Preview icon  to open each image and view it larger.

    • Download an image: Hover over the relevant image and click the Download icon  to save it to your device.

    • Edit an image: Hover over the relevant image and click Select. This will add the image to the project so you can continue modifying it.

You can always scroll back up in your history with Aria to download or add other images to your project.
