PicX Studio

Start with your subject, then layer in style, lighting, composition, and mood. For example: 'A young woman reading a book in a cozy café, warm golden hour lighting, soft bokeh background, photorealistic, Canon 85mm f/1.4' is far more effective than 'woman in café.' Include art style (photorealistic, oil painting, anime), camera details (lens, angle), lighting conditions, and specific colors or textures. The more precise your description, the closer the output matches your vision.

This usually happens when the prompt is too vague, contains conflicting instructions, or uses abstract concepts the model interprets differently. Try breaking your prompt into clear components: subject → style → setting → lighting → mood. Avoid negations like 'no background' — instead use positive alternatives like 'plain white background.' If a specific element isn't rendering correctly, move it to the beginning of your prompt since earlier terms carry more weight.

Use prompts that specify professional photography terms: 'portrait photography, studio lighting, sharp focus, symmetrical face, high detail.' Add camera details like '85mm lens, f/2.0 aperture' to signal a portrait shot. Avoid extreme angles or unusual perspectives for faces. If distortion persists, try adding 'professional headshot, editorial quality, no distortion' and use the Nano Banana Pro model for higher fidelity facial rendering.

Photorealistic: Mimics real-world photography with accurate lighting, skin textures, and depth of field — ideal for product shots, portraits, and architectural renders. Anime: Japanese animation style with bold outlines, stylized proportions, and vibrant flat colors — great for character art and illustrations. Oil painting: Thick visible brushstrokes, rich color depth, and traditional canvas texture — perfect for portraits and landscapes with a classical fine-art feel. Simply include the style name in your prompt, and you can blend styles (e.g., 'anime character in an oil painting background').

Include a detailed description of your character's fixed traits in every prompt: hair color and style, eye color, skin tone, distinctive features, and clothing. Save your character description as a template and reuse it. For example: 'Emma, 25-year-old woman, auburn shoulder-length hair, green eyes, freckles, wearing a red jacket.' Using the same seed value (if available) also helps reproduce similar compositions. For production-grade consistency, use a reference image upload to anchor the character visuals.

Yes! PicX Studio supports reference image uploads so the model can use your image as a visual anchor for style, composition, or character appearance. Upload your reference image in the generation panel, then describe what you want changed or extended. This is especially useful for maintaining brand consistency, recreating a specific art style, or generating variations of an existing character or product.

Switch from Nano Banana 2 to Nano Banana Pro for higher base quality at 30 credits per image. Add quality-signaling keywords to your prompt: '4K, ultra-detailed, sharp focus, high resolution, professional photography.' You can also use the built-in upscaler to enhance any generated image up to 4K resolution after generation — ideal for print-ready output or large displays.

Use the AI photo editor in PicX Studio to select and remove or replace elements. For inpainting, select the area you want to change, then describe the replacement in the prompt (e.g., 'replace red car with blue bicycle'). For removal, describe the area as empty or replaced with background (e.g., 'remove the person, replace with natural grass'). The editor uses context-aware fill to blend edits seamlessly with the surrounding image.

PicX Studio supports all major aspect ratios: 1:1 (square — ideal for Instagram posts and profile pictures), 9:16 (portrait — optimized for Instagram Stories, TikTok, and Reels), 16:9 (landscape — perfect for YouTube thumbnails, banners, and widescreen displays), 4:3 (standard — suits presentations and blog images), and 3:2 (classic photography ratio). Select your ratio before generating to ensure the composition is optimized for your intended platform.

Hands are notoriously difficult for AI image models due to their complex geometry and variability. To improve hand rendering: avoid putting hands in the foreground or center of the image when not necessary, add 'detailed hands, anatomically correct fingers, natural hand pose' to your prompt, or specifically describe the hand position ('open palm facing camera,' 'holding a pen naturally'). Using Nano Banana Pro increases anatomical accuracy. If hands are not the focus, position them in a natural resting pose or partially obscured.
