Before you start
- A Syntic account
- Media credits (your balance is shown in Art Factory)
Step 1: Open Art Factory
Click Art Factory in the sidebar, or go to app.syntic.ai/artfactory. The page opens with "Create AI images and videos with Syntic" and a prompt box that starts with Ask Syntic to.

Write what you want to see: the subject, the setting, the light and the style. For example: "A ceramic coffee cup on a pale oak table, soft morning light, minimal product photo."
The chips under the box (such as Design, Branding, Illustration and E-Commerce) help you start in a particular style.
Step 3: Leave the model on Auto, or pick one
The model menu (⚡) has Auto switched on, which picks a suitable model for you. To choose yourself, turn Auto off and pick from the list; each model shows its cost in credits.
Step 4: Generate
Press Enter or click the arrow button (Generate). Syntic opens a canvas and the image appears there when it's ready.

On the canvas, open Size in the prompt bar to choose a shape, from wide 21:9 and 16:9 to square 1:1 and tall 9:16, and a resolution (1K, 2K or 4K) where the model supports it. The list only shows the options your chosen model can make. Then describe the next image, or the same one again in the new size.
Step 6: Download
Select the image and click Download in its toolbar. You can also right-click it and choose Export to save it as PNG, JPG or SVG.
Tips
Change one thing at a time between attempts (the light, the angle or the style) so you can tell what made the difference.
Your canvases are listed under Recent Canvas on the Art Factory page, so you can come back to them.
Troubleshooting
