Generate an image or a video

Turn on Image next to the message box to get pictures instead of text in a thread. For size, quality and video, open Media in the AI Studio sidebar.

Images inside a thread

1. Select Image next to the message box. Its description reads Generate images instead of text replies.
2. Describe the picture you want and send the message.
3. Turn Image off to go back to text replies.

Turning Image on switches the thread to an image model and back again when you turn it off. The setting belongs to the thread you are in and starts off in a new one.

Attachments and image generation do not mix. Sending with both gives Remove attachments before sending an image generation request.
