Best first action
Start with one specific subject, one visual style, and one intended use case.
Use this guide to turn a prompt, reference image, or rough creative idea into a finished Uni-1 image workflow. It covers the fastest path from first prompt to refined result without burying you in model jargon.
Best first action
Start with one specific subject, one visual style, and one intended use case.
Editing path
Upload a source image, describe only the change, and name what must stay unchanged.
Quality loop
Inspect composition, text, faces, product details, and artifacts before downloading.
Workflow
Use text-to-image when you want Uni-1 to create a fresh visual from a written prompt. This works well for product concepts, posters, campaign images, editorial visuals, and early design exploration.
Use image editing when you already have a source photo, product image, portrait, or draft. In that case, the prompt should focus on the exact change instead of redescribing the whole image.
Prompt structure
A strong Uni-1 prompt usually names the subject, scene, camera or composition, material, lighting, mood, and output purpose. Keep the important words near the start instead of hiding them after a long story.
For commercial images, add constraints such as clean background, readable label, centered product, natural shadows, or ecommerce crop. For creative images, specify art direction, era, color palette, lens, and texture.
Review
Before downloading or using a Uni-1 result, inspect details that commonly decide quality: hands, faces, product labels, small text, logos, object edges, reflections, and shadows.
If the result is close but not ready, keep the successful parts stable and ask Uni-1 for a narrower edit. Broad rewrites after every attempt make it harder to improve the image consistently.
Process
01
Write what the image is for, who or what appears in it, and the final style you want.
02
Start from a prompt only, or upload a reference image when the subject must remain recognizable.
03
Choose the aspect ratio and format that match your destination, such as social posts, ads, product pages, or presentations.
04
Change one major variable at a time: background, lighting, composition, color, or product finish.
FAQ
Open the generator, choose text-to-image, write a prompt with subject, setting, style, and use case, then generate one image before refining details.
Use a reference image when the subject, product, face, outfit, or composition needs to stay recognizable. Use text-only prompts for new concepts.
Keep the strongest part of the output, then ask for one specific change. Avoid rewriting the full prompt unless the direction is completely wrong.
Open the generator, run one focused prompt, and judge the output against the checklist on this page.
