References and uploads

Attach reference pictures for the AI to look at, or import a picture onto the canvas to edit it.

Free and ProFree, no creditsThe paperclip in the composer, and Import image to canvas on the canvas dock

#What it is

There are two different ways to bring your own picture in. A reference is shown to Infinall AI to guide a new image or an edit, and it does not land on the canvas. An import puts a picture on the canvas as a new item that you can edit.

#Who can use it

Everyone. Free and Pro have the same limits. On a team, importing needs the Editor role or higher.

#Cost

Free, no credits. Attaching and importing never use credits. The image or edit you make with the reference uses credits as usual.

#Where to find it

  • Reference: the paperclip in the composer. On Home it is named Add files. In the Studio chat panel it is named Attach reference image.
  • Import: the Import image to canvas button on the canvas dock, at the bottom left. On a wide window it also says Import.
  • Picture for one edit: inside the edit toolbar, in Markup and in Comment pins.

#How to attach a reference

  1. Choose the paperclip in the composer.
  2. Pick one or more pictures. A pill with a small thumbnail shows above the prompt box for each one.
  3. Write your prompt, for example "put this mug on a marble counter".
  4. Send. Infinall AI looks at your pictures while it works.

Use this for product photos, a layout you like, or a logo you want placed.

#How to import a picture onto the canvas

  2. Pick a picture from your computer.
  3. It appears as a new item. Select it to edit it, see edit by describing.

#How to use a picture for one edit

  1. Select an image and choose Edit, then Markup.
  2. Choose Attach a picture to this edit and pick the picture.
  3. Brush the area, describe the change, and choose Apply.

#Options explained

Reference or import? A reference helps Infinall AI make something new and stays off the canvas. An import is a picture you want to see and edit on the canvas.

Accepted types. JPEG, PNG and WebP. An SVG is turned into a PNG when you upload it. GIF and other formats are not accepted.

References in edits. When an image is selected and you attach references, your message edits that image using them. With nothing selected, the references go into a new image.

Clone from Library. An image you clone from Library > Discover opens in the studio as a reference. You then write your own prompt.

#Limits

  • Up to 6 reference pictures per request.
  • Each picture can be up to 10 MB.

#Questions

#Why is my reference not on the canvas?

By design. A reference is only shown to the AI. Use Import image to canvas if you want it on the canvas.

#Can I upload a GIF?

No. Use JPEG, PNG or WebP. SVG files are converted to PNG.

#Can I use my logo as a reference?

Yes. Attach it, or pin a brand that has your logo and ask for the logo in your prompt. See use your brand.

#How many references can I use?

Up to 6 at a time.

#Does importing cost credits?

No. Importing and attaching are free. See move around the canvas.
