If you are on the Pro or Business plan, you can use AI to create an image from scratch. There's no need to use your own photo, just describe the image you want and the AI will create the image for you!

For example, in the image below, we've asked Photoroom to create an image with Landscape dimensions and to use the Hyper-realistic style. The prompt tells it to create "A contemporary blue armchair in a white minimalistic room. Natural light. Artwork on wall." From that, Photoroom creates 4 images and you can create more if needed.

Photoroom AI images. There are 4 images of blue armchairs in white, modern rooms with natural light and artwork on the wall. Below that is a prompt and below that options for setting the size and style.

Different types, similar process

The AI Images tool has various options for creating different types of image, including logos, backgrounds, and product packaging. There are many different types to choose from or you can create a custom image if you prefer.

In this article, we include an example of creating a logo. You can take a similar approach for any of the other types of AI Image. Ready to get started? See the instructions for your device (below).


On iPhone and iPad

Here we show how to use AI Images to create a logo image. For backgrounds, birthday cards, lifestyle photos and other types of images, you can follow a similar process. Just make sure to choose the appropriate type of AI Image from the list.

  1. On the Create page, select All tools.

    Alternatively, you can select Start from photo and then Generate an image with AI.

    Close up of AI tools screen. It shows a Recently used category, a Create images with AI category, and a link with See 23 more. A callout arrow points to the link.

  3. Select Size and choose the proportions (aspect ratio) for the new image.

  4. Select Style and choose the artistic style you want the AI to use.

  5. In the prompt field, enter a description of the image you want the AI to create. The description is called a prompt. For advice on entering prompts, see Tips on AI image prompts.

  6. Select the arrow button next to the prompt to generate some images.

  7. [Optional] To generate more images, ​press the arrow button again.

  8. [Optional] Edit the prompt to change the instructions for the AI and then press the arrow button again. For example, you might want to try different colors or to tell the AI to use "no text" in the image.

  9. When you see an image you want to use, select it to display a larger view.

    You can use the following options:

    • Remove background to give the logo a transparent background or keep the existing background.

    • Use image to open the AI image in the editor, where you can make further changes to it.

    • Change something to make adjustments to the prompt and generate new versions. For details, see Change something about an AI image.

  10. This step only applies if you chose to remove the AI image's background. Choose a template for the background, for example, White, Black, or Transparent. Select Use this template to confirm your choice.

    Alternatively, you could create an AI Background (see Create your own AI Backgrounds).

  11. Photoroom opens your AI image in the editor. There, you can edit it just like any other design. For example, you can add other graphics and text as new layers.

    For information about the editing features, see the Basic editing articles.

  12. Select Export to save your design. You can also use the export options to share it with others.

  13. Select Done.

Tip: If the AI generates text, the text is part of the image. For more control over text, try using "no text" in your prompt. Then, when you edit the image, use the Text tool to add the text you want. The Text tool text is on a separate layer and you can edit it without affecting the background.
