Answers and next steps
Find the right way to create, edit, and keep your images
Choose a tool, check file and usage rules, find a creation, or understand what happens to your image. Each answer points to the next useful action.
Start and choose
Start with the result you want
A new image, a transformed source, a focused edit, and a transparent cutout are different jobs. Choose by outcome rather than model name.
Which tool should I use?
These are live workflows, not interchangeable names for the same model.
I have an idea or prompt and need a new image.
AI Image Generator →I have an image and want a new interpretation of its overall look.
Image to Image →I want to change a specific object, background, or part of a photo.
AI Photo Editor →I want to isolate a subject and download a transparent cutout.
AI Background Remover →What can I make here?
Stable Diffusion AI is a browser-based image creation and editing product. You can generate an image from a description, transform an existing image, make a focused photo edit, or remove a background. The tool you choose determines the input, result, and whether sign-in is required; the name of the site does not mean every operation uses a Stable Diffusion model.
What is the difference between Generate, Transform, and Edit?
Generate starts from words and makes a new image. Image to Image starts from your image and creates a broader reinterpretation; details may change. Photo Editor also starts from an image but asks for a specific change while you describe what should stay. For a transparent subject cutout, use Background Remover instead.
How can I get a result closer to what I imagine?
Start with a clear subject and the details that would change the result: setting, composition, light, style, and what must stay or change. Try one meaningful adjustment at a time so you can tell what helped. For an existing image, say what should be preserved rather than writing only a style name. The prompt guide has worked examples; the prompt tools can help draft or describe an image before you create.
Do I need to sign in?
You can generate from text and remove a background as a guest within the guest allowance. Image to Image and AI Photo Editor require an account. Signing in also gives you an account Creations library that can be opened on another device; guest Recent is tied to the device where you worked and is not a long-term backup.
What can I do after an image is ready?
Download the result, adjust and run the task again, or pass the image to another tool for a new transformation or edit. Signed-in results appear in Creations, where you can reopen, download, share, or delete them. A second generation or edit is a new request and counts toward usage.
Files and outputs
Know what goes in and comes out
The file you upload and the file you download may have different formats or dimensions. Check the specific tool before relying on transparency or exact pixels.
| Question | Current answer |
|---|---|
| Which image formats can I upload? | JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Renaming another kind of file does not convert it to one of these formats. |
| How large can one uploaded image be? | Up to 10 MiB per file for image-input tools. Text-to-image needs no upload. |
| Does Background Remover have dimension limits? | Yes: no edge over 8192 pixels and no more than 24 megapixels, in addition to the file-size limit. |
Which format will I download?
The Generator, Image to Image, and Photo Editor download actions produce a JPG for ordinary image results. Background Remover downloads a transparent PNG; its white, black, and custom-color options are also PNG composites. Do not expect an ordinary JPG to preserve transparency.
How do I get a transparent background?
Use AI Background Remover and choose Transparent PNG. The output contains an alpha channel, so the subject can be placed over another background. Hair, fur, translucent material, and low-contrast edges may need inspection; the tool page shows real source/result examples.
Will my output keep the original size?
Not necessarily. Generator output follows the selected shape and the size of the finished image. Transformation and editing may change dimensions. Background Remover has preserved dimensions in the published examples, but that is not a guarantee for every source. Check the downloaded file before print or production use.
Is a downloaded image identical to its input?
No. Generation and editing make a new image; a JPG download may also differ in file quality or size. Background Remover creates a PNG cutout and offers colored-background versions. Keep your original file if you may need to compare or re-edit it later.
Creations and workflow
Keep working after the first result
Find, download, share, delete, or send a result into another tool. Guest Recent on one device is different from account Creations you can revisit elsewhere.
Where can I find an earlier result?
Signed-in results are in Creations, with filters for generated, transformed, edited, and background-removed work. A tool may also show Recent results. If you worked as a guest, return on the same device; another device will not automatically have that Recent list.
Are guest creations saved?
A guest result may appear in Recent on the device where you made it, but that is not a long-term library. Download important work. You can sign in on the same device to bring eligible results into your account.
How long are signed-in creations kept?
Saved creations remain available through your account while they are retained for the service. You can delete an item in Creations. Download important originals and results rather than relying on the site as your only copy.
Can I continue from a saved image?
Yes. Open an item in Creations and choose Edit image, Transform, or a task-specific action such as Change background. The next tool receives the actual saved image rather than only its old link. Edits and transformations create new results; they do not overwrite the original creation.
How do I delete a creation?
Open the signed-in item in Creations, choose Delete, and confirm. The item is removed from your library and its share links stop working. Deletion does not erase copies that somebody already downloaded or saved outside the service.
Usage and limits
Understand the current allowance
Free access is limited. The tool shows a reset time when a limit is reached; an account changes access and the available allowance.
Is the site free to use?
Yes, the current image tools have a free allowance; no subscription is required to start. Free does not mean unlimited. Guest access is smaller, some tools require sign-in, and a tool will show when you can try again after reaching a limit.
How many images can I make?
Guests receive 10 daily credits and signed-in users receive 15. All AI tools share that balance. An operation uses a different number of credits depending on the tool and image size; existing hourly limits still apply. Credits reset at 00:00 UTC and do not carry over.
Do I need to buy credits?
No. Daily credits are free and cannot be purchased or carried over. The tool shows the credits used and the remaining balance after a request.
Does a failed image request use my allowance?
No. If your image request fails, its reserved credits are returned. Credits are used only when your image is ready.
Privacy
Understand what happens to an image
An image you upload, a result you save, and a link you choose to share have different uses and visibility.
What happens to an uploaded image?
We use an uploaded image to carry out the tool you selected. It is not placed in a public gallery. A result you save to Creations has a different lifetime from the material needed to make it. See the Privacy Policy for more about information handling.
How long are results available?
Guest results are temporary; a saved account Creation may be available longer. Neither is a substitute for keeping your own copy. You can delete individual saved creations, and the Privacy Policy explains how retention is decided.
Are my creations public by default?
Your account Creations page requires your sign-in. A creation is not placed in a public gallery just because it exists. If you choose Share, the unlisted link is accessible to anyone who has it until you stop sharing or delete the creation; treat that URL as public to its recipients.
How do I remove my images or ask about account data?
Delete individual saved images in Creations. Removing an item from Recent on your device is not the same as an account-level data request. For a broader request, use the email address explained in the Privacy Policy.
Rights and safety
Use results responsibly
Our Terms govern use of the service; they cannot clear a third party's rights or determine copyright in every jurisdiction.
Who has rights in an AI-generated image?
Our Terms say you may use images you generate through the service, subject to the Terms. Whether a particular result receives copyright protection depends on the circumstances and jurisdiction. The service cannot guarantee that an output is free from third-party rights, likeness, trademark, or other restrictions.
Can I use a result commercially?
The Terms permit commercial use within their conditions, but that is not a clearance certificate for every image. Check source-photo permissions, recognizable people, brands, and resemblance to existing works before publishing or selling a result. Seek qualified advice for a high-stakes use.
Can I upload or edit a photo of a real person?
Use an image only when you have the necessary rights and consent for the intended edit and distribution. The Terms prohibit non-consensual intimate imagery, deceptive impersonation, privacy violations, and infringement of another person's rights. A visually plausible edit does not show that a person approved it.
Troubleshooting
Get unstuck
Start with the input, the on-screen error, and whether a previous result is still available. Contact us if the problem persists.
Why will my image not upload?
First check that it is a JPG, PNG, or WebP file within the 10 MiB limit. Renaming an unsupported file does not convert it. Background Remover also has limits of 8192 pixels on an edge and 24 megapixels. If the image meets those rules but still fails, contact us and describe what happened.
Why did generation or editing fail?
The image, instruction, usage limit, sign-in, or service may need attention. Read the message on the page for what to try next. If you still need help, tell us which tool you used and what happened.
Why is an image taking longer than expected?
Image processing time varies. Keep the tool open while it is working and avoid submitting the same image repeatedly. If the page does not resolve, contact us with the tool name and a description of what you see.
What if Recent or an upload does not work?
A guest's Recent list is tied to the device where it was made and may disappear if site data is cleared. Signing in does not move that list automatically; after signing in, use the explicit save-to-account action for work you want in cross-device Creations. If an upload still fails, contact us and explain what you were trying to add.
How can I contact support?
Use the Contact page. Tell us what you wanted to do and what happened. Do not send your password or a sensitive image in an initial message.
