Formats, resolution and image count

You can generate an image without touching a single setting. But if you choose the format, the number of images and the resolution before launching, you get a visual that is ready for its use right away: a story, a web banner or a product page.

All these settings are below the prompt, in the settings icon, next to the model choice.

Choosing the format

Format	Ratio	Useful for
Auto	chosen by Seelab	letting the model pick the most suitable framing
Standard	1:1	product pages, square posts
Tablet	3:4	portraits, posters
Mobile	9:16	stories, reels, mobile screens
Banner	16:9	web banners, videos, presentations
Monitor	4:3	editorial visuals, screens

In Auto mode, you can also state the format in the prompt ("story format", "wide cinematic shot"): Seelab takes it into account when choosing the ratio.

Need a format that isn't in the list? Generate in the closest format, then use Reframe in the editor to extend the image to the exact format. See Reframe: every format.

Choosing the number of images

From X1 to X4: Seelab generates up to four variations of the same prompt in one go.

Useful when:

you are exploring an idea and want to compare several options;
you are looking for the best pose or framing for a product.

The credit cost increases with the number of images. Check the amount shown above the green button.

Choosing the resolution and quality

1k, 2k or 4k: the definition of the generated image. The higher it is, the more detailed the image. Depending on the model, a higher resolution can cost more credits: the amount shown above the green button updates when you change a setting.
Quality: some models offer several quality levels. The options shown depend on the model selected.

You can also generate in 1k to explore, then upscale only the image you keep with Magnify, up to 4K. See Magnify: upscale up to 4K.

Enforcing colors with the palette

Select up to 3 colors in the palette, next to the prompt. Seelab works them into the visual: a simple way to stay close to your brand colors.

Depending on the model, the colors are applied more or less strongly. For a precise result, also describe the colors in the prompt ("sage green background, golden light").

Tips

Choose the format before generating: it is faster than adapting it afterward.
Explore in X2 or X4 and in 1k, then increase the resolution on the image you keep.
Prefer a text description of colors to HEX or RGB codes: models respect the shade, not the exact value.

Glossary

Ratio: the relationship between the width and the height of the image (16:9, 1:1…).
Resolution: the definition of the image, in thousands of pixels per side (1k, 2k, 4k).
Palette: up to 3 colors enforced at generation.
Magnify: Seelab's upscaling tool, up to 4K.
Reframe: the editor tool that extends an image to another format.
