How to name an image

Give each image a custom Image Name so it's easy to find in My Library later.

The Image Name field is your label for the image. It's what shows up in the My Library Name column, in exports as image_name, and in the JSON output. You can set it before generating, or change it any time afterwards from the My Library detail page.

1

Set it on Create before generating

On each image card on the Create page, Image Name is the first field in the Options panel. If you leave it blank, the name defaults to the first 4 words of the generated alt text (e.g. A-dog-sits-tall).

2

Rename it later from My Library

Already generated? Open My Library, click any row to open its detail page, and edit the Image Name field in the Image Details panel. Click Save to commit. The Name column in the table is read-only — renaming happens on the detail page.

3

Why it matters

Image Name is searchable in My Library. Naming things consistently (product/red-sneakers-frontview vs IMG_8473) makes future you very happy.

4

Renaming after generation

Forgot to set it? Open the image's detail page from My Library and edit the Image Name field there. Existing exports are not retroactively updated, but future exports will use the new name.

Image Name is also passed to the AI as auto-context (when Auto-detect Context is on). Keywords in the name will gently bias the description, handy for naming things like product/sony-wh1000xm5-headphones.
