The problem

Campaign images lose their direction when the brief and reference live in different places

A marketer may have a product shot, a rough prompt, and a brand kit, yet still has to rebuild the visual direction in a separate image app. Small revisions turn into a trail of exports and new versions.

i.

The reference image gets detached from the request.

A product shot or earlier campaign still should be useful input, not a file that has to be described again in a new tool.

ii.

One wrong detail can spoil an otherwise useful image.

Replacing a prop, extending a scene, or changing one visual element should not require recreating the whole composition.

iii.

Brand choices are repeated by hand.

Teams lose time restating colors, typography, tone, and approved visual direction for every new campaign image.

iv.

A usable format is chosen too late.

The image needs a deliberate platform or aspect preset before it becomes a thumbnail, product card, or campaign still.

Image Lab keeps the prompt, reference, edit request, brand kit, and final image in one standalone workflow.

The solution

Turn a prompt or reference into a branded final still

Image Lab creates standalone images from a prompt or uploaded reference, then lets you revise the image in natural language before applying brand and format choices.

Left: the initial Image Lab generation. Right: the refined result after an authenticated Apply changes request preserving the 16:9 composition.

Keep the visual direction intact while you make the image usable for the campaign.

i

Start with the material you have

Write a prompt for a new image or upload a product shot, screenshot, or earlier campaign still as a reference.

ii

Refine one element at a time

Ask Image Lab to extend the image, replace an object, adjust a region, or make another specific visual change.

iii

Finish for the intended surface

Apply the brand kit, choose a platform or aspect preset, and use or download the finished campaign still, thumbnail, or product card.

Built for standalone stills

An image studio for the work around a campaign

Image Lab is separate from the video pipeline. Use it when the deliverable is a finished image, whether that image supports a video campaign or stands on its own.

Prompt

Generate the first visual direction

Describe the scene, product, mood, and audience, then generate a starting image without opening a video project.

Reference

Use an uploaded image as input

Bring in a product shot, screenshot, or campaign still when the new image needs to stay close to a real source.

Edit

Make targeted changes in plain language

Use natural-language image editing for inpainting, outpainting, and specific element modifications instead of starting the image over.

Brand

Apply the visual direction you already approved

Use brand-kit styling, platform and aspect presets, and the template library to keep recurring campaign images consistent.

How it works

Generate, refine, apply brand, then use the still

Image Lab keeps a short image workflow focused on the final asset rather than the video timeline.

1

Generate or add a reference

Open Image Lab, write the image prompt, or upload a source image that sets the direction.

2

Refine the result

Ask for an inpaint, outpaint, or a specific element change until the composition is right.

3

Apply brand and format

Select the brand kit and a platform or aspect preset, or begin with a template that fits the campaign.

4

Use or download the final image

Keep the finished still for the campaign, thumbnail, or product card, and bring it into a video only when that next step is needed.

Comparison

Image Lab compared with a disconnected image workflow

A manual workflow can make strong images, but it often separates the prompt, reference, revision notes, and brand direction. Image Lab keeps those decisions in the same image workspace.

Capabilityngram Image LabManual image workflow
Prompt or reference-led starting point● Start with a written prompt or uploaded reference image~ Depends on the files and brief already prepared
Natural-language image refinement● Request inpainting, outpainting, or a specific element change× Requires direct editing work or a new handoff
Brand kit and template direction● Apply the selected brand kit and begin from a template~ Brand rules must be carried into each new file
Platform and aspect choices● Choose a platform or aspect preset for the intended still~ Set the canvas and export settings by hand

Image Lab questions

Is Image Lab separate from the video editor?

Yes. Image Lab is a standalone image studio for still assets. You can use a finished image in a video later, but Image Lab does not require you to start a video project.

Can I generate images from a prompt?

Yes. Describe the image you need, generate a starting result, and refine it with follow-up instructions. Image Lab is built for campaign stills, thumbnails, product cards, and other standalone visuals.

Can I upload my own image to Image Lab?

Yes. Upload a product shot, screenshot, or existing campaign image as a reference, then direct the next edit in natural language.

What edits can I make in Image Lab?

You can request natural-language image edits including inpainting, outpainting, and changes to a specific element or region of the image.

Does Image Lab use my brand kit?

Yes. Image Lab can apply the selected brand kit so generated and edited images follow the workspace's visual direction.

Does Image Lab make automatic channel variants?

No. Choose the platform or aspect preset for the image you want to make. Image Lab does not promise automatic variants for every channel.

Can I remove a background or resize an image in Image Lab?

Background removal is available as a separate App Library tool. Utility image transforms such as crop, resize, rotate, and format conversion are available through agentic chat, not as Image Lab claims.

Make the campaign still your brand would approve

Use Image Lab for campaign stills, thumbnails, product cards, and standalone visuals. Bring the final image into a video only when the next deliverable needs motion.

Generate an image, refine the detail that is wrong, apply the brand kit, and use the finished still where the campaign needs it.
