Generic Mode: Universal Prompts for Any AI Generator

In Generic mode, Pixlio produces prompts compatible with any AI image generator. The tool captures subjects, settings, composition, lighting, colors, and mood in a clear, high-signal format. Whether you're using Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, or another platform, these prompts provide an excellent starting point for recreation or iteration.

Flux Mode: Optimized Single-Line Prompts

The Flux style creates single-line prompts specifically optimized for Flux-based generators. This photo-to-prompt conversion follows a structured ordering—Subject, Action/Pose, Style, Context—with front-loaded must-have details. Flux mode avoids negative phrasing (like 'no people') and instead uses positive alternatives (like 'empty beach'), ensuring maximum compatibility.

Nano Banana Mode: Structured Director's Notes

For users working with Nano Banana models, this style generates multi-line prompts in a structured 'spec' format. Each output includes explicit sections for Canvas/Format, Subject, Composition, Action, Location, Style, Lighting/Camera, Text placement, and Constraints. This detailed format gives Nano Banana models precise instructions for accurate reproduction.
