Image generation
Create images from a description or use reference images to edit existing assets in EvoX.
Use image generation for article illustrations, presentation covers, banners, backgrounds, and artwork. Describe the purpose, subject, and style. To continue an existing design, attach the original or reference images and explain what each contributes.
Generate or edit an image
EvoX uses the image-generation plugin to call an image service. The plugin starts disabled. Choose a provider in its dedicated configuration and use credentials managed under Settings > AI services. Missing credentials, a failed test, or cancellation leaves it disabled.
Once enabled, describe the image in your task. For edits, provide the original and define the change. Review the provider, input images, possible cost, and output location before approving. The plugin does not silently switch providers after a failure.
Review the result
Images are saved to the task artifact directory, with the provider, model, dimensions, file type, size, and local path returned. Review whether the image fits its purpose before requesting changes.
Check subject details, text, edges, and transparency. Generated images are not evidence of real events, people, or actual product behavior.
Write an effective prompt
One to three clear sentences are often enough. Focus on the details that determine success:
- Purpose: Where the image will appear and who will see it.
- Subject: What to depict and what is happening.
- Composition and style: Placement, setting, lighting, colors, and materials.
- Size and space: Landscape or portrait, and space needed for a title.
- Constraints: What must stay and what must not appear.
Instead of asking for a “more premium” look, specify muted colors, a simple background, and soft side lighting.
Refine an image
Change one aspect at a time to avoid unintentionally changing the subject, composition, and style together. State both what should change and what should remain unchanged.
Edits can use an original image, mask, or references, depending on the selected provider. Inputs must be ordinary local files in allowed locations and pass file-type and size checks.
Use multiple reference images
Identify each reference in order and explain its role: subject, style, or layout. Avoid simply asking to “use these references.” Reference support depends on the configured provider.
Add text to an image
Keep text short and quote the exact wording. Specify placement, color, and type style. Check every word afterward, especially names, numbers, and non-Latin characters.
Create infographics and complex layouts
Image generation can explore visual directions for posters, flowcharts, and timelines. Define reading order and information hierarchy, and keep each area's text short.
For dense copy, exact values, or layouts that need further editing, use the generated image as artwork and finish the layout in a design tool, presentation, or webpage.
Before you use an image
- Confirm portrait rights for real people and appropriate permission for reference images and brand assets.
- Describe original design directions rather than presenting existing work or brand treatments as your own.
- Review image uploads and costs before remote calls; avoid sending sensitive material as a reference.
- Outputs go to the task artifact directory. The plugin does not accept arbitrary output directories.
