A credit spent at the wrong aspect ratio is a still you will crop into a worse still.
Preset first, prompt second, image to image only to refit.
Which presets cover most shipping channels?
9:16 Stories, 1:1 feed, 16:9 thumbs and landscape ads.
Set the preset in the AI image generator before you write the text to image prompt.
When a still is close, prefer image to image to keep composition while you change lighting, background, or crop intent. Regenerating from a blank text to image prompt usually costs more exploratory credits.
Record what worked: model name, ratio, and the exact prompt line that survived review. That notebook becomes your reusable playbook across ecommerce, social, and concept batches.
On deep-imager, treat the AI image generator as a credit-aware studio: lock aspect ratio, pick the model, then write the prompt so text to image spends once on a usable frame.
Can image to image change ratio without a new idea?
Yes — upload the still, pick the new preset, and ask to keep the subject.
Works better when the subject sits in the center. Edge-hugging logos may need a fresh text to image.

- Lock ratio.
- Generate once.
- Refit with image to image.
- Only then change the brief.
How long until you see the still?
Typically 30 seconds–2 minutes depending on model and queue.
Do not queue five ratios at once on a 5-credit trial.

How do you keep quality high without wasting credits?
Lock ratio first, run one strong text to image pass, then refine with image to image instead of endless fresh prompts.
Before you click Generate, confirm the credit cost on the button and the aspect ratio for the channel you will actually publish to.
If the model returns a safety or policy error, rewrite the prompt without protected names or sensitive requests rather than retrying the same blocked wording.
For team handoff, save the winner still and the prompt in your dashboard history so the next editor can Make Same or continue with image to image.

Start in text to image or image to image, pick a model such as GPT-4o image, then check pricing from $1/month and how credits work before a long run.
