How to Use ImageFx

Register an Account

To get started on IMGFX.DEV, find the 'Login' or 'New' button prominently displayed on the homepage. Click on it to access the registration form. Fill in the required fields, which typically include your email address, a secure password, and possibly a confirmation of terms and conditions that you should review carefully. A strong password is recommended to protect your account. After entering your information, submit the form to complete the creation of your account.

Set Up Your Profile

After registration, it's time to set up your profile. Navigate to your account settings by clicking your user icon, often found in the top corner of the page. Here, you can add a display name, upload a profile picture, and fill out any other optional information to make your profile more personalized. Setting up your profile helps to establish your identity within the community and makes your work easier to find and share.

Explore the Home Page

Familiarize yourself with the homepage layout, which is designed to make your experience smooth and intuitive. The homepage contains vital sections like 'Text to Image' and 'Image to Image’. Each of these segments offers unique functionalities, and understanding their placement and features will enhance your workflow significantly. Take a few moments to click around and observe where everything is located, from the main features to additional tools and links.

Select a Generating Tool

When you feel ready to create, your first decision will involve selecting either the 'Text to Image' or 'Image to Image' tool. Each option provides different capabilities: 'Text to Image' allows you to generate artwork based solely on your written prompts, while 'Image to Image' lets you enhance or modify existing images. Click on the tool that suits your needs and proceed to the next step of creation.

Enter Your Prompt

Once you've selected your tool, an input box will appear where you can type in your creative prompt. Keep your prompt clear and specific to guide the AI effectively. Avoid vague descriptions to ensure the AI can generate images that closely match your vision. For example, instead of saying "a dog," you might say "a small golden retriever playing in a park." Clarity here is crucial.

Adjust Settings

Before hitting the create button, review the various settings available to you. You can choose attributes like the aspect ratio, ranging from 1:1 to 16:9 and various other formats. Additionally, you will see different generation modes: Turbo mode for quick outputs at one credit per image, or options like Boost and Pro for higher-quality images but at a higher credit cost. Be mindful of your credit balance and select the generation mode that best fits your current credits and your desired quality.

Generate Your Image

After you’ve customized all settings to your liking, it's time to generate your image—click the 'Generate' button. The AI will process your request and, depending on the selected mode and complexity, it may take a moment to generate the artwork. Patience is key here, as the final output can be a surprise that captures your original idea.

View Your Gallery

Once the generation is complete, view the newly created image in your personal gallery. The Platform Gallery contains all images that you’ve generated as well as a showcase of community creations. Browsing through these images can spark your creativity or provide ideas for your next project. You may also find features that you hadn’t considered previously, enriching your overall experience.

Upgrade for Advanced Features

For those who wish to take their experiences further, consider the opportunity to upgrade your account. There’s typically a clear path to do this via an 'Upgrade Now' link in your account settings. By upgrading, you unlock more advanced features and increase your credit limits, allowing for a wider range of creative possibilities without worrying about running out of credits during a project.

Get Support

If you ever find yourself facing challenges or needing assistance, the 'Support' section is your go-to resource. Here, you’ll find FAQs addressing common concerns. If your issue isn’t listed, you should have the option to contact their customer service for direct assistance. Quick support can enhance your experience and resolve issues effectively, ensuring you can continue creating your AI-powered art without interruption.
