## How to use it

Once enabled, start a conversation with your Agent and describe the image you want. The Agent creates custom images, modifies existing ones, and works with uploaded images to meet your creative needs.

* **Generate from a description** — Describe what you want and the Agent creates it. Be specific about style, colors, composition, and content for best results.
* **Edit a generated image** — After the Agent generates an image, follow up with changes like adjusting colors, adding elements, or changing the style.
* **Upload a starting image** — Attach an image in the chat (see [Upload files and media](/guides/chatting-with-an-agent#upload-files-and-media)) and ask the Agent to modify or build on it.

<Tip>The more specific your description, the better the result. Include details about style (photorealistic, illustration, flat design), mood (professional, playful, minimalist), colors, and composition.</Tip>
