FAQ
Can I generate a matching set of images for a countdown series?
Yes. Keep the same lighting style and color palette across a few prompts, changing only the scene, so the resulting images feel cohesive when posted as a countdown series.
How do I make firework and confetti scenes look less blurry?
Mention "frozen mid-air" or "fast shutter speed" in your prompt, since these phrases help the AI render sharper, crisper motion rather than a soft, blurred trail.
Can I generate a vertical version for phone wallpapers or Stories?
Yes. Keep the same prompt wording but change the aspect ratio to 9:16 when generating, which reframes the scene for phone screens and Instagram Stories.
