Smartphone Images


This workflow is designed to help you with generating authentic images that looks like it was captured on your smartphone.

1. Select the Type of Device for Your AI Image



Choosing a device model determines the specific look, quality, and characteristics of your AI-generated image.

This is especially important if you want to match a certain photographic style, resolution, or aesthetic.

Flagship Smartphones – High-quality, professional-looking images with sharp details and dynamic range.
Mid-Range Devices – A balance between quality and a more natural, slightly processed look.

Pro Tip: If you're aiming for a hyper-realistic look, choose a newer model with advanced camera capabilities. If you want a more authentic, user-generated feel, opt for older or mid-range devices!

Psst… beyond the options provided, you can add your own phone model by simply typing it in the text field!

2. Select the camera mode for your AI Image



The camera mode you select directly influences how your AI-generated image is processed, its level of detail, and its overall aesthetic. Here’s how different modes affect the outcome:
