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.

Images and videos on the Media page

Select Media in the sidebar. The page is headed Bring an idea to life and has one control, Media mode, with Image and Video. Image is the mode it opens on.

In Image mode:

1. Type your description into Describe the image you want to generate.
2. Choose a Model. Quality and aspect ratio depend on that model. GPT Image 2 offers Auto, High, Medium or Low, and 1:1, 3:2 or 2:3.
3. Select the submit button.

In Video mode:

1. Type your description into Describe the video you want to generate.
2. Optionally select Add photo to start from a picture, from your camera, from a URL, or from your files. The picture must be 10 MB or smaller.
3. Choose a Model, a Duration, a Resolution, and an Aspect ratio. The resolutions and aspect ratios you can pick depend on the model.
4. Select the submit button.

Video generation runs on servers outside Evolve. The page states the provider and where that model processes the video. That location depends on the model you select.

Recents

Finished pictures and videos appear under Recents below the composer. Open one to see it full screen, where you can Download it, Delete it, or Reuse the prompt.

Recents is held in your browser for the current session only. Download anything you want to keep. It is not a permanent library. Images generated inside a thread also appear there during the session.

If it did not work

• Image mode is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.: no image model is available to your Account right now.
• A tile reads Image generation failed: send the description again from the composer. A failed image tile has no Rerun action.
• A tile reads Video generation failed: open it and select Rerun.
• Image must be 10 MB or smaller.: use a smaller starting picture.
• A picture from an earlier session is gone from Recents: it is kept for the browser session only.
