Login Tutorial

1.Click on 【無料新規登録】 (Free New Registration) at the top right corner of the homepage.

2.After clicking, a Google account login screen will appear. Follow the instructions to log in with your Google account.

Usage Tutorial

In addition to generating images from text descriptions, AI Irasutoya also provides the ability to generate images based on reference images. Below, let’s operate each separately to understand the different effects.

Generating Images from Text Descriptions

1.First, on the bottom of the homepage, there is an 【AI画像生成】 (AI Image Generation) section. Here, we enter the text description of the image we want to generate. In the demo, we entered “A cat wearing sunglasses, soaking in a hot spring.” After entering, click on 【生成画面へ】 (Generate Image).

2.Next, it will take us to the image generation page. First, we can see in the upper left corner, there is a プロンプト (Prompt) section, which shows the text description we just entered.

Below, there is a button labeled AIでプロンプトを最適化 (Optimize Prompt with AI), which can automatically generate detailed text descriptions of the image. You can decide whether or not to use this feature based on your needs. The generated detailed text description is shown in the figure below, but at the time of the demo, only an English description will be generated. (Here, I changed the text description back to the original “A cat wearing sunglasses, soaking in a hot spring.”)

3.Scrolling down, we can see the キャラクター (Character) section, where we can choose the characters to appear in the image. Since I only want a cat to appear, I didn’t select any characters here.

4.Continuing to scroll down, there is the 參考画像 (Reference Image) section. Let’s skip this for now and come back to see its effect later.

5.After the 參考画像 section, we have other options such as 縱橫比 (Aspect Ratio), 生成枚數 (Number of Images to Generate), and 背景透過 (Transparent Background). 縱橫比 refers to the aspect ratio of the image, with options including 4:3, 1:1, and 3:4. 生成枚數 refers to how many images to generate, with options of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 背景透過 indicates whether to have a transparent background or not.

6.After setting up, we click the 生成 (Generate) button below. Here, we can also see how many free image generation opportunities we have left.

7.After a moment, we can see the generated images on the right side. Aren’t they adorable?

Also, while the images here have watermarks, the images downloaded by clicking the download button in the upper right corner of the image do not have watermarks.

8.If we check 背景透過, it will generate images with only the content described in the text.

Generating Images Using Reference Images

What if we want the image generator to refer to our own provided images when generating images?

1.In the 參考画像 section, click on 画像選択 (Image Selection).

2.Choose an image that we want the generator to refer to. In this demo, I’m using the image below. The little cat is looking very excited at the huge bowl of noodles in front of it.

3.Click on the 生成 (Generate) button. It generated the image below in the end (Oh? It seems AI interpreted the large bowl as a big bathtub). Isn’t that interesting?

Alternatives When Free Usage Is Exhausted – AI Image Search

What if we’ve used up our free opportunities? Besides paying for the Pro version, we can actually use the search feature to see if there are images generated by others that match what we need. Now, let’s see how to do that.

1.At the top of the homepage, click on 画像檢索 (Image Search).

2.In the search box, enter the image description we need. Here, I entered “山水” (mountain and water scenery) and pressed Enter.

3.Then, we can see that the search quickly found related images for us. We can directly click on the image we want to download.

4.On the image page, click on 標準サイズ (Standard Size) on the right to download the image.
