The Templix AI Image Generator is a unified interface for generating high-quality images across every major AI model currently in production. Rather than jumping between separate platforms for Nano Banana 2, Seedream 5.0, Flux 2 Pro, and other leading generators, Templix brings all of them into a single generation workflow. This guide covers step-by-step usage across text-to-image, image-to-image, model selection, aspect ratios, and connected workflows for building full creative pipelines. Whether you are exploring concepts, prototyping campaigns, generating product photography, or building social media content at scale, this guide explains how to use Templix AI Image Generator for every use case.
Every workflow in this guide has been tested in real production settings. The examples are structured so you can copy the pattern, adjust the specifics to your project, and get comparable quality on your first attempt rather than working through multiple iterations to figure out what works.
How to Use Templix AI Image Generator for Text-to-Image
Text-to-image is the fastest way to generate images from a text prompt alone. This is the default mode when you land on the generator.
Step 1: Access the Templix AI Image Generator
Visit templix.app/ai-image-generator. Sign in with your Templix account, or create a free account to receive starter credits. You will land directly in the generation interface with a prompt input, model selector, and output options visible.
Step 2: Choose Your AI Model
The model dropdown gives you access to the full Templix library of leading image models. Available options include Nano Banana 2 (Google's latest, strongest for photoreal fidelity and text rendering), Seedream 5.0 (ByteDance's model, strong for cinematic composition and editorial portraiture), Flux 2 Pro (strong on creative style range), and Nano Banana. Each model has different strengths, so match the model to your use case rather than defaulting to one.
Step 3: Enter Your Prompt
Type your prompt in the input box. Effective prompts follow a five-component structure: subject, camera language, atmosphere and lighting, style direction, and mood.
Example: "A hand-thrown ceramic pour-over dripper in sage green atop a matching mug on a walnut cutting board, three-point softbox lighting, elevated 45-degree angle, warm editorial mood, square composition."
Step 4: Configure Aspect Ratio and Batch Size
Set your aspect ratio: 1:1 for feed posts, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 for landscape and cinematic, 4:5 for portrait feed. Choose batch size from 1 to 4 for testing, then scale up once you have a working prompt.
Step 5: Generate and Download
Click Generate. Images appear within seconds. Download directly from the interface, or continue iterating by refining the prompt and regenerating. Templix outputs are ready for commercial use and download without watermarks.
How to Use Templix AI Image Generator for Image-to-Image
Image-to-image mode is essential when you want to preserve the composition, subject, or style of an existing image while transforming specific elements. This is the mode most creators use for editing existing product shots, modifying stock imagery, or generating consistent variations of an approved brief.
Step 1: Switch to Image-to-Image Mode
From the generator interface, switch to Image-to-Image mode. Templix opens an upload area alongside the prompt input.
Step 2: Upload Your Reference Image
Drag and drop the source image or click to browse. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, and WebP. The reference image sets the base composition and visual anchor.
Step 3: Write an Edit or Transformation Prompt
Instead of describing the full scene from scratch, describe the change you want. Example: "Change the background to warm cream travertine, keep the product exactly as shown." The model preserves the reference composition and applies your transformation.
Step 4: Adjust Strength and Generate
Some models expose a strength or transformation slider that controls how much the output can deviate from the reference. Lower strength preserves more of the original. Higher strength allows more creative interpretation. Start at a moderate setting and adjust based on results.
Step 5: Download and Refine
Download the output or iterate with a follow-up prompt. For product cutouts before running image-to-image transformations, use the Templix AI Background Remover to isolate the subject cleanly first.

How to Use Templix AI Image Generator with Different AI Models
The single biggest advantage of Templix over model-specific platforms is direct comparison. You can generate the same prompt across multiple models in one session and choose the winner without switching accounts.
Nano Banana 2: Google's flagship model, currently the strongest for photorealistic product photography, editorial imagery, and accurate text rendering in logos and headers. Best for e-commerce hero images, marketing campaigns, and any content where photoreal fidelity matters. See the full Nano Banana 2 prompt guide for detailed examples.
Seedream 5.0: ByteDance's model, strong for cinematic composition, editorial portraiture, and atmospheric scenes. Best for fashion campaigns, character concept work, and mood-led creative content. The full Seedream 5.0 prompt guide covers all major use cases.
Flux 2 Pro: Strong on illustrative range, stylized artwork, and creative direction. Best for concept art, brand illustration systems, and social content that benefits from a distinctive aesthetic beyond photoreal defaults.
Nano Banana: The prior-generation Google model, still excellent for many use cases and often more cost-effective for bulk generation.
For teams choosing between them, generate the same prompt on three models simultaneously, compare the outputs side by side, and use whichever model wins for that specific use case. This is the workflow performance marketing and design teams use to consistently pick the right tool for each task without model-switching friction.
How to Use Templix AI Image Generator with Connected Workflows
The generator sits inside the broader Templix creative suite, and the biggest quality gains come from combining it with connected tools rather than treating it as standalone.
For 4K delivery: Pass generated images through the Templix AI Image Upscaler to bring output to a clean 4K resolution suitable for print, paid social, and large-format applications. The upscaler reconstructs pixels rather than stretching them, preserving detail through the resolution increase.
For product cutouts: Use the Templix AI Background Remover to isolate generated products from their backgrounds cleanly, then composite them into new environments or product mockups.
For animated variants: Feed your generated stills into the Templix AI Motion Control to add subtle motion, or into the AI Reel Generator to package the visuals as short-form video for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
For product ads: The Templix Ad Studio turns product images directly into finished video ads with 20+ hook templates that produce ready-to-run creative for Meta and TikTok campaigns.
For character variations: Use the AI Face Swap, AI Hairstyle Changer, and AI Clothes Changer to produce persona and styling variations against a single approved subject generated in the image generator.
How to Use Templix AI Image Generator for Specific Use Cases
The right prompt structure depends on what you are producing. Use these workflows as starting points for the most common Templix use cases.
Product photography: Choose Nano Banana 2, use text-to-image, and follow the product prompt structure: subject on surface, camera angle and lens, three-point softbox lighting, mood. Set aspect ratio to 1:1. Generate 3 to 5 variants. Push the winner through the AI Image Upscaler for 4K delivery.
Editorial portraits: Choose Seedream 5.0, use text-to-image, and follow the portrait structure: subject description with specific age and expression, environment, light with source and direction, 85mm lens, mood. Set aspect ratio to 4:5 or 9:16 for portrait orientation.
Cinematic scenes: Choose Seedream 5.0, describe the environment first, then subject placement, camera framing and lens, light direction and color palette. Set aspect ratio to 16:9 for horizontal cinematic or 9:16 for vertical short-form.
Social media visuals: Choose Nano Banana 2 for photoreal content or Flux 2 Pro for stylized visuals. Set aspect ratio to 9:16 for TikTok and Reels or 1:1 for feed. Generate 4 to 6 variants and select the strongest for downstream reel packaging via the AI Reel Generator.
Product mockups: Use image-to-image mode. Upload a clean product cutout (prepared with the AI Background Remover) and prompt Templix to place it into a new environment: "Place this product on a warm marble surface with soft morning window light."

How to Use Templix AI Image Generator Effectively
The following practices consistently produce the best results across models and use cases.
Tip | What It Does |
Lead with subject and action | Anchors the model's initial interpretation to what matters most |
Name a specific camera lens | 50mm, 85mm portrait, 100mm macro. Removes ambiguity from framing |
Describe light source direction | "Soft window light from the left" beats "nice lighting" every time |
Name the emotional mood | Serene, cinematic, playful, moody. Anchors compositional and color decisions |
Generate 3 to 5 variants | Judging a prompt from one output gives an unreliable read on prompt quality |
Iterate on one variable at a time | Adjusting subject, lighting, lens, and mood at once makes debugging impossible |
Match the model to the use case | Photoreal product → Nano Banana 2; cinematic → Seedream; stylized → Flux 2 Pro |
Set aspect ratio before generation | Cropping later degrades composition on any AI image model |
