Describe Image

Describe Image - powered by a new AI model, Florence 2, it generates a written description of your source image at the detail level you choose: Short, Medium, or Long.

This image-to-prompt functionality may be used when you struggle to find the right words, creating rich, descriptive content from visual inputs and enhancing the creative process by providing contextually relevant text for further artistic exploration or documentation.

Use it as a starting point for your prompt, copy the description to the clipboard with one click, or cancel mid-request if you change your mind. Changing the source image automatically clears the prior description to always know what is being described.

Negative Prompt – Is used for reducing and removing specific content, aesthetic, or style in the generated rendering, and is linked to Prompt Strength.

Geometry Override – The amount the geometry will change from the original model. Low values promote the retention of geometric detail, while high values can generate more creative results.

Material Override – Low values stay closer to the original aesthetic, while high values alter it, producing more dynamic colors.

Prompt Strength – Low values produce muted results, while high values produce more dramatic results.

Width – The rendering resolution's width.

Height – The rendering resolution's height.

Seed – The render seed is used to reproduce previous render results, even with different geometry. When enabled, select a past rendering to use its seed, or enter one manually.
