With all the investment Google has made into artificial intelligence (AI), it’s not surprising the tech giant launched its own AI-powered image generator, ImageFX, earlier this year. ImageFX aims to rival OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, Midjourney, Microsoft’s Image Creator by Designer, and many others.

ImageFX is powered by Imagen 2, the latest generation of Google’s text-to-image technology. Each image created with ImageFX is embedded with DeepMind’s SynthID, a digital watermark that is invisible to the naked eye. The watermark can be used to show the image was created by AI.
How to use ImageFX

It’s important to be as detailed as possible when you enter a prompt for image creation. Try to imagine the image you want to see and then write a description of what you want.
It’s worth adding the image type you want, such as a photo, 3D render, drawing, etc. You can go as far as adding a style, like impressionism, abstract, vaporwave, etc.
