Your quick guide to getting started with Brand Studio

Welcome! Brand Studio is built for creative professionals like you, and we’re happy you’re here. 

Brand Studio puts you at the center of creative production, with tools and customization designed for what brands really need. 

Here are quick tips for getting up and running with your first use cases.

Before you start

  • Make sure to check your email for a verification link! Accounts must be verified before the first generation.

  • Ensure browser zoom is set to 100 percent. Brand Studio is optimized for standard scaling.

  • Remember: You’ve got 1,000 credits ready to use with a free trial, and 5,000 credits if you’re on the Core tier. 

Three tools to get to know first

1. Generate your first image and make adjustments

Generate an image or upload an existing image to the Create page. Once it’s in your gallery, hit the three-slider icon to open Adjust. From here you can tweak brightness, contrast, and saturation, or use the crop tool to reframe, flip, or rotate. We’re starting simple, but having these controls inside the same tool you'll use for everything else means you're not jumping to Photoshop for a quick fix before you've even started.

Try it on any image you have handy. Crop it down to a single element you want to keep.

2. Next, rebuild the scene around it with Outpaint

Take that cropped image into Outpaint. Describe the environment you want around it, and the Outpaint tool extends the image outward to match. Make sure to provide a descriptive prompt for the new area (e.g., "mountain landscape") so the AI matches the existing lighting and perspective.

3. Finally, clean it up with Remove

If anything in the image doesn't belong, use the Remove tool to paint over it. The AI fills it in based on the surrounding context.

Other pro tips

  • Use the prompt enhancer to improve results. The Prompt Enhancer (toggle this on when you are prompting) improves your prompt automatically. Also, follow the rule of three: Try re-rolling at least three times before you give up on a prompt. If it’s still not what you wanted after three tries, then it’s time to tweak the text.

  • Let the presets do the heavy lifting. If you use a preset, focus your prompts on the subject and composition, then use a style preset for the look. Doubling up (ex.  typing anime style while the Anime preset is active), can actually mess up the image quality.

  • Pick the right photos for background edits. For the best results with background edits, use high-contrast photos where the subject is clearly closer to the camera than the background.

  • Fix mistakes before upscaling. A common pitfall is upscaling an image that has a defect, like an extra finger or a warped face, because the upscaler will just render that error in perfect 4K detail. Use the inpainting tool to fix the small stuff at a lower resolution first.

  • Organize your workspace with projects and favorites. Use the Library to move from one-off sessions to a persistent environment by creating separate Project containers for different clients or brands. You should also use the Heart icon to favorite your high-value assets, which helps  build a curated reference set of your best results for future use.

Now that you’re equipped with the basics, it’s time to create!
