Reference Image

image

An image you provide alongside a prompt to guide generation — for a face, a product, a color palette, or an overall style. It anchors the model to something specific: instead of describing your logo in forty fragile words, you show it. Reference images are the backbone of character consistency and brand work, and they drive image-to-video, where your image becomes the first frame. Tip: use clean, well-lit references, because the model inherits their flaws too. Example: upload your product shot as a reference so it appears intact inside generated lifestyle scenes.
