MODEL OVERVIEW
About Muse Image text-to-image
A single description is enough to start. Muse Image arranges subject, composition and style from your text and renders about 2.5 megapixels; dimensions follow the aspect ratio, for example about 1920×1280 at 3:2 and 1600×1600 at 1:1.
Nine aspect ratios are available—1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 2:3, 21:9 and 9:21—with JPEG, PNG or WebP output. To edit an existing picture, use the Muse Image image-to-image entry.
What Muse Image can create
Every example below was generated with Muse Image through HiAPI, covering a product ad, a paper-cut illustration and scenes framed for different placements.
Labels, materials and light in a product image
A matte coral bottle, cream label and rough stone base come together in soft side light as a skincare ad, with the brand lettering clearly legible.
It suits launch teasers, social ads and product pages. When the image needs text, write the exact wording into the description and check the spelling afterwards.
View prompt
Premium skincare campaign photograph of a matte coral glass bottle with a cream label reading DAWN, a folded sandstone paper panel and a delicate olive branch on pale travertine, soft morning side light, restrained editorial styling, crisp material texture, generous cream negative space, no other text.
Paper-cut picture-book illustration
A fox curled beneath a tree, layered paper-cut branches and scattered stars—the thickness and shadows of the paper give the picture a handmade, dimensional feel.
The 3:4 portrait format suits picture-book pages, book covers and greeting cards. Style, material and composition can all go into one description.
View prompt
Editorial paper-cut illustration of a coral fox curled beneath a midnight-blue tree, scattered warm stars, layered tactile paper edges, clear silhouette and generous negative space, quiet book-cover composition, no text.
One theme, framed for each placement
Both desert-observatory images share one description and differ only in aspect ratio: 16:9 for article headers and video covers, 21:9 for web banners.
Each composition is generated separately rather than cropped from one image, so the subject stays complete in the ultra-wide frame.
View prompt
A sophisticated editorial illustration of a terracotta desert observatory with an oversized pale moon and a winding turquoise river, warm sandstone textures, geometric architectural forms, subtle paper grain, carefully balanced negative space, no text.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose generation or editing?
Choose generation to start from a written brief, or editing with references to build on an existing subject or layout.
How many images can I get per task?
Each task returns one image with no count selector. Submit a new task with an adjusted prompt for another composition.
Can I select 1K, 2K or 4K?
This entry has no resolution tiers. Choose framing; the model determines dimensions, typically around 2.5MP. Inspect the downloaded file.
Which file formats can I choose?
Choose JPEG, PNG or WebP; the default is WebP. Select a format for your web or design workflow.
How can I leave room for a cover title?
Describe subject placement and which side needs whitespace, then choose framing for the final cover. Avoid relying entirely on a later crop.
What should a product brief start with?
Start with the subject, materials and placement, then add light, background and a few props. State short label text separately and inspect the silhouette and lettering.
How should I keep images long term?
Generated image links have an expiry date. Download files you need to keep, or select permanent storage when creating the task. Existing images can also be re-stored by following the storage management guide.
Can I continue editing a result?
Save the result and supply it as a reference in a new task. Tasks are independent, so describe what to retain and what this revision should change.
How can I make lettering easier to inspect?
Put a short heading in quotes and describe its position, hierarchy and surrounding space. Check the lettering before use and finish typography in a design tool if needed.
When should I leave framing automatic?
Use automatic framing when the placement is flexible. Choose a ratio for a fixed banner, portrait poster or square card, then check the downloaded dimensions.
Where can I check the cost before generating?
Choose your parameters and check the Playground estimate and live pricing. Task records show the completed image and its charge.
Why can the same brief produce a different picture?
Composition and details can vary between results. Use a selected picture as a reference and specify preservation requirements when continuity matters.
