Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Always specify 'negative space for text' or 'space for text overlay' in the prompt
  • 💡Use the exact aspect ratio for your platform — 1:1 for Instagram feed, 9:16 for stories
  • 💡Generate backgrounds separately, then add text in Canva/Figma for better typography control
  • 💡Include 'no text' in the negative prompt if you want a clean background to add your own text
