Design Assets is the finished-design workbench in Image: five fixed-spec deliverable types, one prompt per generation, and a complete image you download or publish. This page is the operating manual. A shorter overview of the same workflow, including what it deliberately leaves out, lives at Design Assets.
Where you start
Entering from the top navigation always lands on the current Project's studio home. The last workspace never reopens on its own; you reach one from continue-recent, a saved workspace, a specific result, or a direct link. The home page holds five type cards, logo, icon, poster, video cover, and social cover. There is no one-line prompt box and no copilot entry here. A card prefills the use case, the main size, and the real export requirements for its type, and picking one creates nothing yet.
Every page in the workflow reads the current Project and only that Project; switching Projects swaps the home page, the workspaces, and the results along with it. A Project that has never touched Design Assets shows the same five cards plus an Explore entry for inspiration. Examples there demonstrate what the workflow produces. They are not anyone's generation history, and they never link into your workspaces or results.
Parameters, prompt, copilot
On desktop the editor is three columns: fixed parameters on the left, preview and prompt in the middle, the copilot on the right where it can collapse. The left column settles the objective facts, product type, use case, main size, delivery format. The prompt is the one creative text field, and it works without the copilot: fill it in completely and generate.
The copilot asks one question at a time, and only about whatever most affects the result. It does not re-ask what the parameters already settled. Its context is the type, the parameters, the prompt, the references, and the conversation visible in this workspace. Ask for inspiration and it returns three written directions. Everything it produces stays a suggestion until you click adopt; only that click replaces your prompt.
One copilot serves one workspace. The conversation saves with the workspace and comes back when you do, and switching Projects or workspaces never carries another creation's context in. Copilot help draws on the account's assistance pool. Editing the prompt or the parameters yourself draws on nothing.
Generating and regenerating
The generate button shows its price: Generate design · 1 credit. It is clickable when the prompt is non-empty, the parameters are valid, and no task is running. The confirmation layer spells out the prompt, the type, the main size, the delivery format, and the fixed cost. No paid task exists before you confirm.
One generation returns one complete raster piece at one main spec — no moodboard, no size suite, no pick-a-direction menu. The first successfully saved piece completes the run. Before generating, the preview shows the confirmed specs and an empty state. After, it shows the finished piece alone: no selectable objects, no layers, no property panel, no canvas toolbar.
Nothing on a delivered image is editable afterwards. Text and colors stay as generated, and there is no move, scale, rotate, align, safe-area adjust, undo, or patch. Exact copy belongs in the prompt, because the workflow guarantees nothing about text, fonts, logo detail, or composition. When a result misses, Continue creating passes your feedback to the copilot, which drafts a new full prompt. Adopting it and confirming spends another credit and produces a new complete piece. Every redo is a new paid generation; there is no free-fix track beside it.
References and the Brand Preset
A generation accepts up to four references. None of them need a use-case label; the prompt says how they factor in. The reference entry sits beside the prompt and draws from three places: local upload, the account media library, and Project Results. The results picker defaults to the current Project and can switch to another one, and a result picked across Projects lands here as an independent fixed copy that later changes at the source never touch.
Accepted reference formats are static JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC, plus SVG that passes sanitization. GIF, animated SVG, video, and PDF are turned away before any paid task starts. Uploads serve the current task only, and add to media library ships unchecked. Media-library picks leave no standing link either, so regenerating next week means reselecting them.
Each Project keeps a private Brand Preset that can prefill brand name, colors, and font preferences before you generate. It is pre-generation context only. Nothing editable comes out of it, text and fonts carry the usual no-accuracy rule, and publishing or Remix never exposes or copies the preset.
Versions, covers, and Results
Browsing and picking cards create nothing. A workspace comes into existence the first time the copilot returns a usable suggestion on a valid prompt, or when you skip the assist and confirm a generation. What it saves is the prompt, the parameters, the references, and the conversation. There is no canvas state anywhere in it.
Every successful generation files one immutable version on the same artifact and adds one candidate image. Downloads, format conversion, publishing, renames, and cover changes never create versions. The current preview and the cover are separate states. The first success becomes the cover; later regenerations become the current preview only. You can promote any candidate to the single cover yourself, and a non-empty workspace always has exactly one.
Results lists one card per workspace instead of a flat pile of images: your chosen cover, the type, the main platform, the update time, and the candidate count, with the full generation history one click inside. Drafts, running tasks, failures, and image-less workspaces all get cards, each offering name and tag editing, whole-workspace deletion, and a way into the editor. Filters cover name, tag, type, and platform. A finished filter does not exist, because no such status does. Downloading and publishing require picking a specific version first; walking back into the editor does not.
One edit icon at the top of the console changes the workspace name and up to ten private tags together, before the first generation or after it. Past ten, the dialog says so instead of quietly dropping tags.
Deletion has two everyday units and one guarded case. Deleting a candidate never cascades; if it was the cover, the newest remaining candidate takes over, and removing the last image leaves the workspace alive with its prompt, parameters, and conversation. Whole-workspace deletion is confirmed and permanent, and it retires any Explore entry published from it without touching Remixes already made. The guarded case is a workspace with generation work still running: cancel the task first, then the delete goes through.
What you can export
| Deliverable type | Formats |
|---|---|
| Logo, icon | PNG |
| Video cover, banner, social design | PNG, JPEG, WebP |
| Poster | PNG, JPEG, WebP, plus an RGB PDF |
The PDF is the finished raster written at the target physical size, with the effective DPI shown and a warning when it runs short. It is a bitmap in a PDF wrapper, and nothing in the product calls it a vector file. Converting an existing version between the supported formats is free, calls no model, and creates no version. The interface never offers SVG export, ICO, transparent backgrounds, CMYK, spot color, ICC profiles, or PSD.
Publishing and Remix
Publishing goes to the community, from the console or from Results. Design work gets no private share links: private files travel through the device's share panel, and published items share the Explore detail page. Explore pages offer preview, details, and Remix, and the original delivery files are not anonymously downloadable from them.
A publish binds one specific version. The public snapshot carries the preview, title, description, tags, type, platform, size, and colors. It never carries the Project, the Brand Preset, the reference images, the other versions, the task internals, the credit records, or the copilot conversation. A safety check runs before anything goes public.
Two switches sit on the publish dialog, independent of each other. Allow Remix decides whether visitors can start their own workspace from the piece. Public final prompt defaults to off every time and has to be switched on deliberately; when it is on, a checkable snapshot of that version's prompt goes public, and Remixers can start from it. When it is off, the prompt stays unreachable from the detail page, search, and Remix.
A Remix creates an independent workspace and artifact in the remixer's own Project. Your piece is the starting reference, your prompt comes over only if you published it, and your later edits, un-publishing, or deletion never touch the copies already made. Public listings and detail pages carry the author identity and the platform watermark; your own downloads stay watermark-free.
When tasks fail
Accepted tasks survive refreshes, closed tabs, dropped connections, and device switches; coming back shows the server's real state. The visible states are preparing, generating, saving, and success or failure. Percentages are never invented, and no model or vendor names appear anywhere in the run.
A retryable model or system error gets one automatic retry inside the same task, same inputs, same reservation, no double charge. After that the failure is final, and the prompt and parameters stay for a fresh attempt. Nothing bills when a start is refused: an empty balance, a safety rejection, and a failed reference check all leave the inputs intact and the balance untouched.
One paid task runs per workspace at a time. You can read the inputs and the version history while it runs; you cannot submit a second task into it. Different workspaces run in parallel, within the plan's concurrent limit.
What generation costs
| Charge | Credits |
|---|---|
| Generate design, one complete piece per confirmation | 1 |
| Site-wide assistance pool, per 10 successful assists | 0.5 |
The single credit covers the whole unit, prompt completion, generation, and saving included. Copilot suggestions and inspiration count on the assistance pool instead, which is shared across every feature on the account and bills half a credit per ten successful assists. Everything else in this workflow is free: references, uploads, adoption, renames, tags, covers, format conversion, downloads, publishing.
Concurrency is plan-based and account-wide. Free runs 1 unit at a time, Lite 2, Pro 3, counted across every feature and device. Full slots queue accepted work with credits reserved; they never reject it.
On a phone
The phone keeps the preview, the prompt, and the generate action on screen, and folds fixed parameters and the copilot into two bottom drawers that trade places. Submitting and leaving works: the task keeps running, and the page shows the true state when you return.
The shortest first loop: pick the logo card, write a prompt that contains the exact wordmark text, confirm 1 credit, download the PNG. When the result misses, Continue creating is the same loop again with a sharper prompt.
