Create AI images from Chrome’s side panel in under a minute — with a prompt formula, size guide and tips for better results.

You don’t need a separate app to create AI images. With Muse’s Image mode you can generate pictures from Chrome’s side panel and drop them straight into your doc, email or post. Here’s how — plus a simple prompt formula that works.

Create your first image

  1. Open Muse (Alt+Shift+L) and tap Image at the top.
  2. Choose a Style: Auto, Photo, Illustration, 3D, Anime, Watercolor, Logo or Pixel art.
  3. Choose a Size: Square, Wide or Tall.
  4. Describe the image and send.
  5. Download, Copy image or Regenerate.

A prompt formula that works

Subject + details + setting + light & mood + style.

  • “A ceramic coffee mug with steam, on a wooden desk by a window, soft morning light, photo.”
  • “A friendly robot mascot waving, simple background, bright colors, 3D.”
  • “A lighthouse on a cliff, stormy sea, dramatic sky, watercolor.”

Pick the right size

  • Square — app icons, profile pictures, Instagram posts.
  • Wide — blog headers, slides, YouTube thumbnails, banners.
  • Tall — stories, Pinterest pins, phone wallpapers.

Tips for better results

  • Be specific about the subject and leave out what doesn’t matter.
  • Name the mood (cozy, cinematic, playful) and the light (golden hour, studio).
  • If the result is close, regenerate rather than starting over.
  • For logos, describe the shape and feeling, then refine the best idea in a design tool.

FAQ

Is image generation free?

Each image counts as one request: 2 a day free, unlimited with Muse Pro.

Why didn’t I get an image?

Sometimes the model doesn’t return an image for a prompt. Rephrase it or make it more specific and try again.

Can I edit an image after creating it?

Ask for a variation with Regenerate or a new prompt describing the change.
