Reference image generator

Create from the references that matter.

Use one or more visual references to guide a new image. Give the character, outfit, product, pose, style, or environment a clear job, then describe what should stay and what should change.

Character, jacket, and alpine environment references becoming one final character image
DEMO / STATIC · Three references carry different decisions into one image: identity, material, and place.

Reference becomes direction

Give every image a job.

References work when they contribute something specific. Imagine Image can carry the face from one image, the material from another, and the setting from a third.

What it is

A reference image gives Imagine Image visual information for a new creation.

More than upload

Tell Imagine what each image should contribute.

A reference can anchor a recognizable face, a product shape, a fabric, a camera angle, a color language, or the feeling of a place. Naming that role gives the generation a clearer brief than asking the model to blend a pile of images together.

Combine visual information with a precise instruction, then keep refining from the result.

Give every reference a job

Compose the brief before you compose the image.

Different references are useful because they carry different decisions. Keep the roles explicit so the result has somewhere precise to go.

  1. 01

    Character reference

    Preserve recognizable traits while changing the moment, pose, expression, or scene.

  2. 02

    Product reference

    Keep the product’s shape, details, and identity while creating a new shot or background.

  3. 03

    Style reference

    Guide the visual language, palette, material, or treatment without copying the original subject.

  4. 04

    Pose reference

    Borrow the gesture, camera relationship, or body language for a new subject or character.

  5. 05

    Environment reference

    Set the architecture, atmosphere, lighting, or spatial context around the focal point.

  6. 06

    Outfit reference

    Carry clothing, material, accessories, or styling into a character or editorial direction.

A useful instruction

Keep the character. Change the world around them.

Use a character reference for identity, an outfit reference for materials, and an environment reference for the setting. Then state the new pose, camera angle, and mood in the prompt.

Prompt structure

Keep: face, silhouette, hair, defining marks

Borrow: jacket material and mountain environment

Change: three-quarter pose, evening light, wide frame

Result: the same character in a new visual moment

How to use references

Make the visual input understandable.

Clear roles and clear constraints make reference-based creation more controllable and easier to refine.

  1. 01

    Choose the inputs

    Select the images that contain the decisions you want to carry forward.

  2. 02

    Name each role

    Explain which reference controls identity, product, style, pose, or place.

  3. 03

    State what changes

    Describe the new composition, action, format, lighting, or message.

  4. 04

    Continue from the result

    Edit a detail, make a variation, resize the frame, or save a new reference.

Keep identity

Create the same character across new images.

Turn a character reference into a repeatable visual anchor, then explore new poses, expressions, clothing, and environments.

Keep direction

Keep the idea. Explore another version.

Use the result or a reference as the starting point for controlled variations in composition, lighting, pose, detail, or environment.

Reference image generator FAQ

What is a reference image generator?

A reference image generator creates a new image from text instructions plus visual references that guide identity, product details, pose, style, outfit, or environment.

Can I use multiple reference images?

Yes. Give each image a role and explain how those roles should combine instead of asking the model to blend them without direction.

What makes a good reference image prompt?

Say what to preserve, what each reference contributes, and what should change in the new composition. Concrete constraints make the next decision easier to evaluate.

What can I do after creating from references?

Edit a selected detail, create a variation, remove the background, resize the composition, or use the result as a new reference.

Text + images → new image

Give every reference somewhere useful to go.

Bring the visual decisions that matter into the workspace, then make the next image yours.
