Generate images

Work can generate and edit images directly in the chat interface. Describe what you need in plain language and get visuals you can use for presentations, product mockups, marketing materials, and more.

1. Click the + icon or type / in the chat window.
2. Select Tools then enable Image generation.

Image generation stays active for the current session. You can enable other tools at the same time.

Describe the image you want in natural language. You don't need complex prompts or special syntax. Say what you're looking for and Work handles the rest.

For the best results, include:

• Subject: what the image shows.
• Style: illustration, photorealistic, diagram, flat design, etc.
• Constraints: aspect ratio / orientation.

Example prompt: "Create a flat illustration of a modern office interior with natural light and plants."

You can refine generated images or edit existing ones in two ways.

After generating an image, describe the changes you want in a follow-up message. Work understands you're referring to the previous image and produces an updated version.

Example: "Add a whiteboard on the back wall. Keep the lighting and color palette unchanged."

Start a new chat, then upload an image using the + button by selecting Upload Files.

Describe the edits you want, and Work generates a new version based on your instructions.

Here are reusable patterns for common use cases:

• Pitch and deck visuals: hero images, section dividers, and stylized backgrounds for investor decks or internal presentations.
• Marketing assets: campaign banners, landing-page heroes, social posts with consistent brand tone.
• Product mockups: render a concept on a neutral background to compare directions before a designer takes over.
• Internal communications: header imagery for announcements, onboarding decks, all-hands recap docs.
• Concept exploration: generate multiple visual directions from a brief before committing one to production.
• Diagrams and conceptual illustrations: process flows, organizational charts, abstract concept visuals for documents and reports.
• Placeholder visuals during drafting: get a stand-in image immediately while a final asset is in production.

• Be specific. "A photorealistic hero image for a fintech landing page, dark background, abstract light trails" produces better results than "make a banner."
• Iterate. Treat the first result as a starting point. Refine with follow-up prompts until you're satisfied.
• Pair with professional tools. Image generation works best alongside dedicated editing software for final adjustments like precise cropping, color correction, or brand overlays.
• Download and reuse. Click the download button on any generated image to save it locally.

• Prompts or images that contain copyrighted or inappropriate content may be blocked by safety filters.
• Fine details (small text, complex patterns) can sometimes be lost or altered during editing.
