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!

At the moment, AI Images is only available in English on iPhone, iPad, and the web app. We hope to have support for other languages and Android coming soon.

Different types, similar process

The AI Images tool has various options for creating different types of image, including Logo Maker, 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:

  1. Select AI Images.

  2. Choose a type of AI Image to create.

  3. Set the size and style.

  4. Enter a description of the image you want. This is called a prompt.

  5. Set Photoroom to generate the images.

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 AI Images.

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

  2. Choose a type of AI Image to create from the list, for example, Logo Maker or Lifestyle Photography. If you want a different type of image, select Create any image instead.

  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, for example, "Blue and yellow ski boot in snow". The description is called a prompt.

  6. Select the purple and white arrow button to generate some images based on your prompt.

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

  8. [Optional] Edit the prompt to change the instructions for the AI and then press the purple and white arrow 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.

    If you are happy with the image, select Use full image to use the entire image including its background. Alternatively, select Remove background to remove the background and only use the foreground.

    If you are not happy with the image, select Change something. You can then choose to Generate 4 variations based on the same prompt or select Describe a change and enter a new prompt.

  10. When you choose an image, Photoroom opens it 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.

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

  12. 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.
