Image Mode

Flip Foundry into Image Mode and your next prompt produces images instead of text. Same chat, same history — different engine. Toggle it from Settings → Image Mode, or hit / and pick Image from the mode switcher.

​

Models

Foundry ships with three image models, all Gemini-family under the hood. Pick from the model dropdown in Image Mode.

​

Controllable options

The composer hides controls a model doesn’t support — switch to Nano Banana 2 to unlock the wider aspect ratios.

​

Tips for prompts

• Lead with the subject, then style, then composition. “A bonsai pine in a ceramic pot, watercolor, centered on cream paper.”
• Cite a style or artist when relevant — Gemini handles named styles well.
• Iterate inline. Don’t restart — reply “now make the pot blue and shift the composition slightly left” and Foundry edits from the prior generation.
• Use 4 generations for divergent ideas, 1 for refinement passes.

​

Limits

• No negative-prompt UI today — phrase exclusions in natural language inside the prompt (“…no people, no text overlays”).
• No reference-image upload control in the current Image Mode controls. Use Agent Mode + an image-aware Skill if you need image-in/image-out.
• Generated images live in the chat; right-click → Save to download. We don’t surface a gallery view yet.
