Image to Image Generator: Create a New Image from a Reference
The image-to-image workflow starts with an image you are allowed to use and a written description of what should change or remain important. Choose a model that supports reference images, then review the new variation carefully before publication.


- Start with
- A supported reference image
- Direct with
- A written change or scene brief
- Review
- The new variation before use

These local references are unique to this page and help turn a broad search into a reviewable visual direction.
Every card identifies whether it is a verified model-family example or a visual reference. Reference cards are not model benchmarks or before-and-after claims.

Subject and setting
Use the visible subject, setting, and priority detail to clarify the next generation.

Composition and detail
Use the visible subject, setting, and priority detail to clarify the next generation.

What an image to image generator can do
01
A visual starting point
Use an approved image to establish the item, composition, or visual direction that the next generation should begin from.
02
A written change request
Describe the scene, treatment, framing, or new visual emphasis instead of expecting the source image to explain every decision.
03
A reviewed variation
Inspect the new result against the source when recognizable product details, text, proportions, or identity matter.

How to use an image to image generator
A reference image guides a compatible generation; it does not guarantee an exact copy. The prompt should explain the intended transformation and the result should be reviewed on its own merits.
- 01
Prepare a reference you can use
Choose an image you are allowed to upload and use in the intended project.
- 02
Select a model with reference support
Choose a model that accepts reference images, then review the upload and output options it makes available.
- 03
Describe the next visual direction
Write what should change, what should remain important, and the scene or composition you want to create.
- 04
Generate and compare carefully
Inspect the result before reuse, especially when accurate product details, readable text, or visual consistency are required.
[03]
Choose a model for reference-led editing
Use a reference-capable model when the supplied image is part of the job. Review all product, text, and identity details after generation.

What to check in an image to image result
- Not every model accepts a reference image
- Reference-image support, limits, output tiers, and credit cost depend on the selected model and settings.
- Important details can still change
- Review material, labels, visible text, proportions, hands, faces, and any brand-specific element in the generated image.
- Only upload authorized source material
- Use reference images only when you have the right to upload and use them in the intended project.

Image to image generator FAQ
- What is an image-to-image generator?
- An image-to-image generator uses a supplied image as a visual starting point, then creates a new variation from a written direction. In ImagineClip, this is available on models that support reference images.
- Can I use any image as a reference?
- Use only images you are allowed to upload and reuse. The workspace shows reference-image controls only when the selected model supports them.
- Will the generated image keep every source detail?
- No. A reference image guides the result but does not guarantee exact preservation. Review all important visible details before publishing.
- What should I write with a reference image?
- Explain the intended change or new scene, the composition you need, and the source details that should remain important to the result.
