Image Generation Overview
Where and how to generate images on Xotic AI — the studio, the character creator, and in-chat requests — plus engines, batches, and cost.
Xotic AI has state-of-the-art image generation, and you can reach it from several places depending on what you're doing.
Where you can generate images#
- The image studio (/create) — the full-control surface: write your own prompts, pick the engine and style, and batch-generate. Covered below.
- In a chat — ask a companion for a photo with Request a photo or Auto Snap. Quick and contextual — see Getting images in chat.
- The character creator — generate a new character's first images as you build her. See Generating her images.
Everywhere, a single image generation costs 50 XOT and requires a subscription. See XOT costs.
The image studio#
Open the studio at /create and switch to the Images view. The generator gives you:
- Style — Realistic or Anime. (Anime automatically starts your prompt with quality tags like
masterpiece, best quality.) - Engine — Classic, Apex, or Lumen — the same three engines used in the character creator; see how they differ in Generating her images.
- Count — generate 1, 2, or 4 images at once. Cost scales with the count (50 XOT each).
- Positive prompt (required) — the tags describing what you want to see.
- Negative prompt (optional) — tags for what you want to avoid.
Hit Create and your images generate. This is where prompting matters most — how you write those tags is the difference between a generic result and exactly what you pictured.
Where your images go#
Generated images land in your My images gallery in the studio, where you can organize them into collections and publish the best ones to the feed.
Learn to prompt#
The models use the Danbooru tagging system, which is a skill worth learning — ten minutes pays off across every image you ever make.
