# Generate Images from Text

> Learn how to create stunning images using text prompts with Higgsfield API

The Higgsfield API enables you to generate high-quality images from text descriptions using state-of-the-art AI models. Simply provide a text prompt describing what you want to create, and our models will generate images that match your description.

## Available Models

Higgsfield offers a wide variety of text-to-image and image editing models to suit different creative needs and use cases. Popular models include:

* `higgsfield-ai/soul/standard` - Our flagship text-to-image model
* `reve/text-to-image` - Versatile text-to-image generation
* And many more...

To explore all available text-to-image and image editing models, visit our [Models Gallery](https://cloud.higgsfield.ai).

## Quick Start

### Basic Image Generation

Here's a simple example to generate an image from a text prompt:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST 'https://platform.higgsfield.ai/higgsfield-ai/soul/standard' \
  --header 'Authorization: Key {your_api_key}:{your_api_key_secret}' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset with vibrant orange and purple skies",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "resolution": "720p"
  }'
```

## Best Practices

### Writing Effective Prompts

* **Be specific**: Include details about style, mood, colors, and composition
* **Use descriptive language**: "A cozy mountain cabin at sunset with warm lighting" is better than "cabin"
* **Specify artistic style**: Mention styles like "photorealistic", "watercolor", "digital art", etc.
* **Include quality modifiers**: Terms like "highly detailed", "8k", "professional" can improve results

### Example Prompts

```text theme={null}
Good: "A professional photograph of a golden retriever puppy playing in a sunlit garden, shallow depth of field, bokeh background"

Better: "Professional pet photography of a golden retriever puppy, 3 months old, playing with a red ball in a lush green garden, golden hour lighting, shallow depth of field, Canon EOS R5, 85mm lens, bokeh background"
```

### Optimizing Generation

* Start with lower resolutions for faster iterations
* Test different aspect ratios to find what works best for your use case
* Use webhooks for production workflows to avoid polling
* Store the `request_id` to retrieve results later if needed

## Common Use Cases

* **Marketing materials**: Product images, social media content, advertisements
* **Creative projects**: Concept art, illustrations, design mockups
* **Content creation**: Blog headers, thumbnails, visual storytelling
* **Prototyping**: Quick visualization of ideas and concepts
