Choose Image Settings and Advanced Controls
Image Studio includes settings that control shape, size, variation, consistency, cost, and where results are saved. You can start with the defaults and only change settings when you know where the image will be used.
Aspect Ratio and Size
Aspect ratio is the shape of the image. Size is the pixel dimension CloudMySite uses for the generation.
| Option | Ratio | Size | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square | 1:1 | 1280*1280 | Icons, logos, product cards, social posts |
| Portrait | 3:4 | 1104*1472 | Posters, cards, vertical product mockups |
| Landscape | 4:3 | 1472*1104 | Marketing graphics, feature art, app illustrations |
| Story | 9:16 | 960*1696 | Mobile stories, tall hero visuals, vertical campaigns |
| Wide | 16:9 | 1696*960 | Hero banners, backgrounds, blog headers |
| Custom | Your choice | width*height | Specific placements on eligible plans |
Choosing the Right Shape
Use Wide for homepage hero banners and section backgrounds.
Use Square for logos, profile images, product cards, icons, and social posts.
Use Portrait for posters, vertical cards, mobile-friendly promotions, and tall product images.
Use Story for mobile-first visuals and vertical campaign graphics.
Use Landscape for balanced feature artwork that is not as wide as a hero banner.
Custom Dimensions
Custom dimensions let you enter a specific size in the format:
width*height
Example:
1200*800
Custom dimensions are checked before generation. The ratio should stay between 1:4 and 4:1. If custom dimensions are not available on your current plan, CloudMySite will show an upgrade prompt.
Number of Images
The Number of images control lets you create more than one option in a single generation.
- 1 image is the default and keeps credit use lower.
- 2 to 4 images can help when you want options, depending on your plan.
Every generated output counts as one image credit. A request for 4 images uses 4 image credits.
Optional Seed
A seed is a number that can help keep results more consistent between runs.
Use a seed when:
- you like the overall composition and want similar variations
- you are testing small prompt changes
- you want more repeatable results
Seed control is an advanced option and may require a higher plan.
Prompt Extend
Prompt extend lets CloudMySite add helpful detail to shorter prompts during generation. It can improve simple prompts, but may add a little more time.
Use prompt extend when:
- your prompt is short
- you want CloudMySite to enrich the creative direction
- you are exploring ideas
Turn it off when:
- you already wrote a precise prompt
- you want the result to stay closer to your exact wording
- you are trying to reproduce a similar result
Prompt extend control may depend on your plan. If you cannot change it, CloudMySite keeps a recommended default.
Generation Status
The status panel shows where the generation is in the process.
You may see states such as:
- queued or starting
- generating
- storing
- ready
- failed
- canceled
When results are ready, they appear as saved image cards.
Result Actions
Generated result cards can include:
- Use in project: insert or attach the image to a project workflow.
- Copy URL: copy the stored image link.
- Download: save the file to your computer.
- Delete: remove the asset from the managed library, when available.
If you opened Image Studio from an active project, generated images are saved into the current project media library and can be reused immediately.
Cost-Saving Tips
- Start with 1 image.
- Use preset sizes unless you need a custom placement.
- Write a clear prompt before generating.
- Use Image History to reuse strong results.
- Regenerate from an existing history item instead of starting over when the direction is close.
