# Higgsfield AI image generator

The Higgsfield image generator: text-to-image and image-to-image, the models behind it, and how to prompt it for predictable results.

The image generator is the most used part of Higgsfield. It takes a text prompt, optionally a reference image, and produces a new still image.

## Two modes worth separating

  - **Text-to-image.** A prompt only. The model invents everything. Maximum freedom, minimum control over specifics.
  - **Image-to-image.** A prompt plus a starting image. The output is anchored to what you supplied — composition, colour, or subject depending on the model. This is the mode to use when something specific must survive.

Most disappointing results come from using text-to-image when the job actually required image-to-image. If a particular product, face or layout has to appear in the output, supply it rather than describing it.

## Prompting that works

Generative image models reward concrete nouns and specific visual language, and ignore vague quality adjectives. A useful order:

  - **Subject** — what is in frame, stated plainly.
  - **Action or pose** — what it is doing.
  - **Setting** — where, and what is behind it.
  - **Lighting** — soft window light, hard midday sun, neon at night. This does more for realism than any other single term.
  - **Framing** — close-up, wide shot, overhead.
  - **Style** — photographic, illustrated, 3D render. Name one; mixing several produces mush.

Words like "beautiful", "high quality", "4K" and "masterpiece" do very little on modern models. They were load-bearing on older ones, which is why they persist in prompt guides that have not been updated.

## Common problems

| Symptom | Usual cause | Fix |  |

| Hands look wrong | Hands are still the hardest structure for image models | Reframe to avoid them, or crop; do not fight it with prompt words |  |

| Text in the image is garbled | Most models approximate letterforms | Use a model with strong text rendering, or add text afterwards |  |

| Output ignores part of the prompt | Too many competing instructions | Cut to one subject, one setting, one style |  |

| Faces drift from a reference | Text-to-image cannot preserve a specific identity | Switch to image-to-image or an identity-preserving tool |  |

| Looks generic | Prompt used adjectives instead of specifics | Replace "beautiful lighting" with the actual lighting |  |

## Models behind it

Higgsfield surfaces several image models, including [Nano Banana](/models/nano-banana/) from Google. Different models have genuinely different strengths — photorealism, text rendering, illustration, edit fidelity — so if output is consistently wrong in the same way, changing model is often more effective than rewriting the prompt for a fifth time.

## Common questions

### Which image model should I use?

Match it to the job: photoreal product shots, text-heavy graphics and stylised illustration are different strengths. If the same flaw keeps appearing, change model rather than rewriting the prompt again.

### Why can it not keep the same character across images?

Text-to-image has no memory of a specific person between generations. Preserving identity requires a reference image and an identity-preserving mode — not a more detailed description.

### Can I use generated images commercially?

That depends on the platform’s terms and the underlying model’s licence, and it varies by model. Check both before commercial use.
