Generating images
The Image page (app.corte.so/studio/image) turns a prompt into stills you can
use anywhere — as social assets, first frames for
video generation, or media on a timeline.
Write the prompt
Describe the image in plain language. The more concrete you are about subject,
setting, light, and style, the better the result. Type @ to reference media
you already own — a product photo, a still, a generated frame — and the model
uses it as context. See
@-mentions & reference images.
Pick a model
The model button opens the picker. Each entry shows its per-image price ("4 cr/img") and a Pro badge if it unlocks with your first top-up or plan. Image models include Nano Banana, FLUX Dev, FLUX Kontext, and Gemini Omni — see Choosing a model for guidance on which to reach for.
Settings
The setting chips under the prompt adapt to what the selected model supports:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Aspect | Output shape — 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, and whatever else the model offers. |
| Resolution | Output size, when the model exposes more than one. |
| Quality | Speed/fidelity trade-off, on models that support it. |
| Count | Generate up to several variations in one run — each image is billed. |
Add image attaches reference images (up to the model's limit, typically 4). If the selected model can't use attachments, Studio warns you — "Model can't use attached images — they'll be ignored" — with a one-click swap to a model that can.
Cost and results
The ~N credits estimate updates live as you change the count, quality, and model; your remaining balance sits next to it. Press Generate and the run appears in the gallery below — cancel it while it's queued if you change your mind.
Finished images land in your Library and can be:
- dragged onto a timeline in the Cut Editor,
- used as a first frame or reference for video generation,
- fed into a Workflow node,
- or mentioned with
@in any later prompt.
Generating 4 variations at a lower quality, picking the best, then re-running it at high quality is usually cheaper than generating everything at maximum quality.
