Creating an image

Create unique, high-quality AI-generated images. Describe your idea, define your style, and let Aria bring your vision to life. Aria will generate 4 different options that you can choose from.

To create an image:

  1. Go to your project in Wixel.
  2. Open the chat with Aria and choose how to generate an image: 
    • Describe what you want to create: Write 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  on the chat to upload a reference image, then describe what you want to create using that image.
    • Promote your business on social media: Create posts tailored to the right dimensions for social media for a product launch, to promote a product or service, or to announce an event. To begin, tell Aria to "Create a social media post".
  3. Once the images are generated, choose what you want to do:
    • Preview an 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.
Tip:
You can always scroll back up in your history with Aria to download or add the other images to your project.
