Image Node
An Image Node holds a single image. You can upload an image from your computer or generate one using an AI image model. The image can then flow downstream into other Image Nodes or Video Nodes as a visual reference.
Adding content
Uploading an image
When an Image Node is empty, click the Upload button in the display area to select a file from your computer.
Supported formats: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp
Maximum file size: 10 MB
Tip: To use an uploaded image as a reference for generation, connect this node downstream to another Image Node or a Video Node — an uploaded image isn't used as a reference within its own node.
Generating with a model
Write a prompt in the generation panel and click Generate. The model returns an image that appears in the display area. If you generate again, the new image replaces the previous one.
The Generate button is disabled when:
- The prompt field is empty and no upstream Text Node is connected
- An image is already being generated on this node
- An upstream node is currently generating ("Upstream task in progress.")
Generation panel
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Reference strip | Thumbnails of connected upstream Image Nodes, numbered in connection order |
| Prompt input | Your generation instructions; placeholder: "Describe the image you want to generate." |
| Upstream text icons | Inline icon blocks from connected upstream Text Nodes |
| Model selector | Choose the image model; models requiring more references than they support are greyed out |
| Parameters | Resolution and aspect ratio controls |
| Generate button | Shows credit cost before you confirm |
Model limits on reference images
Each image model supports a maximum number of upstream Image Node references. If you connect more than a model allows, that model is greyed out in the selector — switch to a model with a higher limit, or remove a reference.
Connecting to other nodes
Accepted upstream connections
| Upstream node | How its content is used |
|---|---|
| Text Node | Text appears as an inline icon block in the prompt field |
| Image Node | Image appears in the reference strip; numbered in connection order |
Note: Video Nodes cannot connect upstream to an Image Node. No image model currently supports video as input. If you attempt this connection, a tooltip will explain why it's blocked.
Supported downstream connections
An Image Node can connect downstream to a Text Node, another Image Node, or a Video Node. Its image will appear as a numbered reference in the downstream node's generation panel.

Content and deletion
When you delete an Image Node, its image is saved to your account assets — it is not lost. You can access saved images from your assets library.
