Effective AI image prompts made easy
With our powerful prompt builder to guide you, simply use the optional fields to describe your image or concept and see it come to life in moments. Each prompt produces 4 images—you just need to tell the AI generator:
- Main subject: Who or what is the focus of the image
- Action: What is happening in the scene?
- Surroundings: Where is the action taking place
- Visual aesthetics: Define the mood or visual style
Refine your AI images
Once you have an AI‑generated image you love, you can further tailor it using Refine* to add, replace, or remove specific elements. You could infuse a cityscape with a pop of color, remove storm clouds to reveal a vibrant blue sky, or adjust just about anything else to bring the image closer to your vision.

Extend your AI images
Use the Extend* feature to make room for copy and new elements, reveal more of the scene, or create the right size for your needs. Simply choose a new aspect ratio or use Freeform to drag the image edges to your desired dimensions. iStock’s AI image generator will fill in the new areas based on the background and an optional prompt.

Frequently asked questions
That's why we are vigilant in ensuring our AI model is only trained on iStock's creative library and proprietary data and have safeguards in place to significantly decrease the risk of generating problematic visuals, so the images you generate are immediately safe and cleared for commercial use.
[Main Subject] [Action] [Surroundings] [Visual Aesthetics]
The following are prompt suggestions to add to any query: high quality, high fidelity, detailed, intricate, sharp, proportional.
Turn on negative prompt to specify what you don’t want to see in an image. For example, “clouds”, or “muted colors”.
Here’s an example:
A white cat sleeps on a blue textured pillow, it is a wide angle shot and you can see the entire room. Cat, fluffy, pillow, texture, detail, interior, wide angle
For your negative prompt, natural language is not recommended. Instead, provide a comma separated list of keywords you don’t want to see in the text‑to‑image render. Using the example above, consider writing the following negative prompt: dog, outdoors.
Note that if you add “no” in front of a word in the negative prompt space, it will be read as a double negative and will instead include the phrase you meant to exclude.
