Image features in Opal Chat

Use Opal Chat to create original images or make changes to existing ones by sending a request with a prompt and optional settings.

Create images

To generate an image, send Opal a prompt describing what you want to create. Also include the following optional parameters to customize the result:

  • Prompt – Description of the image you want to generate. More detail leads to better results.
  • Aspect ratio – Shape of the generated image. If not specified, Opal uses 1:1. Example aspect ratios:
    • 1:1 (Square) – Good for profile pictures or Instagram posts.
    • 4:3 (Standard landscape) – Common for older TVs or digital cameras.
    • 16:9 (Widescreen landscape) – Standard for modern TVs, YouTube videos, and presentations.
    • 9:16 (Vertical portrait) – Ideal for Instagram Stories, TikTok, and mobile content.
  • Number of images – Total number of image variations to generate, up to four. If you do not specify, Opal generates one.
Be as specific as possible in your prompt to get the best results. Include details such as style, lighting, background, or mood.

Example prompt – Using the brand knowledge you have for Optimizely, create three images for a header image for a blog on Optimizely.com about Optimizely Opal?
