From a simple idea to a complete description
Choose a category and see how very different subjects can use the same simple method to organize the important parts of a scene.
Animal Stories
A robot friend in the forest
Creative idea
A little robot helps an injured bird in the forest.
- Subject
- A small round robot and an injured bird
- Action
- The robot is bandaging the bird's wing
- Setting
- A quiet forest with sunlight filtering through the leaves
- Style
- A warm, gentle children's picture-book style
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
A small round robot sits beside a tree stump in the forest and bandages the wing of an injured bird. Sunlight filters through the green leaves and falls across them, in a warm, gentle children's picture-book style.
Why this wording helps
The original idea only says that a robot helps a bird. It does not explain the specific action, location, or visual style. Adding the bandaged wing, forest tree stump, and picture-book style makes the relationship in the scene much clearer.
Animal Stories
The fox and the glowing book
Creative idea
A fox reads a magical book in the snow.
- Subject
- A red fox
- Action
- Reading a glowing book
- Setting
- A forest while snow is falling
- Style
- A soft watercolor picture-book style
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
A red fox sits in a snowy forest, looking down at a book that gives off a golden glow. White snow covers the surroundings, rendered in a soft and delicate watercolor picture-book style.
Why this wording helps
Instead of only calling the book magical, describing its golden glow turns an abstract idea into something that can be seen in the image.
Animal Stories
A penguin repairs a car
Creative idea
A penguin repairs a car beside a glacier.
- Subject
- A penguin wearing a blue hat
- Action
- Repairing a small yellow car
- Setting
- Beside a glacier in the sunlight
- Style
- Bright 3D cartoon
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
A penguin wearing a blue hat stands beside a glacier and uses tools to repair a small yellow car. Blue-and-white icebergs and the sky appear in the distance, rendered in a bright and friendly 3D cartoon style.
Why this wording helps
Colors, accessories, and a specific action help each important object keep a clearer identity when several objects share the scene.
Fantasy Worlds
The floating sky castle
Creative idea
There is a magical castle in the sky.
- Subject
- A vast white castle
- Action
- Floating in the air
- Setting
- A sea of clouds with mountains in the distance
- Style
- Dreamlike fantasy illustration
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
A vast white castle floats above a golden sea of clouds. Narrow waterfalls fall from the castle into the clouds, with blue mountains visible in the distance, rendered as a bright, dreamlike fantasy illustration.
Why this wording helps
Magic is an abstract idea. Visible elements such as floating architecture, waterfalls, and a sea of clouds create a clearer sense of fantasy.
Fantasy Worlds
The giant mushroom forest
Creative idea
Two children explore a world of giant mushrooms.
- Subject
- Two children carrying small backpacks
- Action
- Exploring along a forest path
- Setting
- A forest filled with giant colorful mushrooms
- Style
- A bright children's adventure picture book
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
Two children carrying small backpacks explore along a forest path. Colorful mushrooms taller than the children grow around them, while tiny glowing insects drift through the air, rendered in a bright and imaginative children's adventure picture-book style.
Why this wording helps
The children and path make the exploration action clear, the oversized mushrooms establish scale, and the glowing insects add atmosphere without changing the central idea.
Sci-Fi Adventures
The space-cat pilot
Creative idea
A cat flies a spaceship.
- Subject
- An orange cat wearing an astronaut helmet
- Action
- Piloting a small spaceship
- Setting
- A blue-purple nebula
- Style
- A bright animated-film style
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
An orange cat wearing a clear astronaut helmet sits in the cockpit of a small spaceship and pilots it through a blue-purple nebula. A distant planet is visible beyond the window, rendered in a bright and detailed animated-film style.
Why this wording helps
A cat and a spaceship are only two objects. Adding the cockpit and the act of piloting makes the relationship between them much clearer.
Sci-Fi Adventures
The future city
Creative idea
A girl travels through a future city.
- Subject
- A girl wearing a yellow helmet
- Action
- Riding a hovering bicycle through the city
- Setting
- A future city at night
- Style
- Bright science-fiction animation
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
A girl wearing a yellow helmet rides a hovering bicycle through a future city at night. Glowing plants grow along the streets, and transparent towers reflect blue-purple light, rendered in a bright and crisp science-fiction animation style.
Why this wording helps
A future city can mean many things. Transparent towers, glowing plants, hovering transport, and night lighting are more concrete elements that can be visualized.
Art Styles
One scene, different styles
Creative idea
Try the same lakeside scene in three different visual styles.
- Subject
- A small white dog
- Action
- Sitting and watching the moon's reflection
- Setting
- Beside a lake at night
- Style
- Watercolor picture book, handmade clay animation, and 3D cartoon film
View exampleClose example
Complete prompt
A small white dog sits beside a quiet lake and watches the moon's reflection on the water.
Why this wording helps
The subject, action, and setting stay the same. Changing only the style can still change the visual language of the scene in a noticeable way.
Soft blue-purple watercolor picture-book style
A small white dog sits beside a quiet lake and watches the moon's reflection on the water, in a soft blue-purple watercolor picture-book style.
Soft, rounded handmade clay-animation style
A small white dog sits beside a quiet lake and watches the moon's reflection on the water, in a soft, rounded handmade clay-animation style.
Bright, polished 3D cartoon-film style

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about official examples, prompt writing, and variation in generated images.
Are these real user creations?
No. The content on the Examples page is made up of official demonstrations that explain prompt structure and product capabilities. It is not presented as the work of a real user.
Will the same prompt create exactly the same image every time?
No. AI image generation includes variation. Even with the same prompt, composition, details, colors, and character poses may change.
Do I have to use the subject, action, setting, and style format?
No. It is a way to organize your idea, not a fixed grammar.
Is a more detailed prompt always better?
Not always. Useful details are clear, relevant, and consistent with one another. Simply making a prompt longer does not necessarily help.
Why do these prompts use complete sentences?
Natural language can describe a subject, an action, and the relationships between different objects clearly. You do not have to force everything into a keyword list.
Can I create in Chinese?
You can express ideas in the language that feels most natural to you. The result can still vary with the model and the way the idea is phrased.
Where can I learn more about prompts?
Use Prompt Basics to learn the core structure, then practise observation and description with the Daily Challenge.
