Create & edit images
9brains can create and edit images directly in chat. Just describe what you want to see, and the AI automatically picks the right tool and model.
Generate images
Section titled “Generate images”Describe the desired image in your message. The AI automatically detects that an image should be created and uses the image generation tool.
Example requests:
- “Create a photo of a modern office with wooden furniture and plants.”
- “Generate an illustration on the topic of teamwork in watercolor style.”
- “Make a product photo of a white coffee cup on a wooden table with soft light.”
Tips for better results:
- Describe style, colors and composition as precisely as possible
- Name the desired image type (photo, illustration, icon, graphic, …)
- Provide context (e.g. “for a presentation” or “in cartoon style”)
The generated image appears directly in the chat as a download link.
Edit images
Section titled “Edit images”You can have existing images edited in chat. Upload an image and describe the desired change.
How it works:
- Upload an image in chat (or use a previously generated image)
- Describe the desired change
Example requests:
- “Make the background of this image blue.”
- “Remove the text from the image.”
- “Change the color of the logo from red to green.”
The original is preserved, the edited version is saved under a new name.
Supported formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP (max. 50 MB per file)
Combine images (multi-image)
Section titled “Combine images (multi-image)”You can have elements from one image inserted into another, ideal for compositing and product visualizations.
How it works:
- Upload the main image (e.g. an empty living room)
- Upload one or more reference images (e.g. a piece of furniture)
- Describe what the AI should do
Example requests:
- “Place the couch from the second image in the right corner of the living room.”
- “Insert the product from the reference image onto the table in the main image.”
- “Place the logo on the T-shirt in the photo.”
Note: For multi-image, a compatible model is automatically selected. You don’t need to worry about it.
Available image models
Section titled “Available image models”9brains supports several specialized image models from different providers:
| Model | Location | GDPR-compliant? |

Which models are available is determined by your administrator (see Groups & AI models).
Frequently asked questions
