# AI-Generated Images

Use AI to create graphic elements for your layout directly inside the **Layout Designer**. This feature helps you design items like logos, borders, and themed graphics without needing graphic design experience or starting from scratch.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This feature creates graphics to *decorate* your layout; it does not change how the photo of the participant looks. If you want to transform the captured photo, see [Post-capture AI Effects](/ai-effects/post-capture-ai-effects.md).

### How to Create and Use AI Graphics

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Generate an Image

AI-generated graphics are created while managing layers within your layout.

1. Open your [Layout Designer](https://app.simplebooth.com/presets).
2. In the **Layer List**, add a new layer and choose **Generate with AI**.
3. **Enter a prompt:** Describe what you want to create. More detail generally produces better results.
4. **Choose a style:** Select a style from the dropdown (e.g., watercolor, photorealistic, cartoon, or pop art).
5. **Select an aspect ratio:**
   * For borders or full backgrounds, match your layout’s aspect ratio.
   * For elements like logos or stickers, any aspect ratio can work.
6. Click **Generate** and wait for the image to process.

*If the result isn’t what you expected, adjust your prompt or style and generate again until you are satisfied.*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add and Adjust Your Graphic

Once you have an image you like, you can finalize how it sits on your canvas:

1. **Remove the background (optional):** Use the background removal tool to create a transparent graphic.
2. **Add to layout:** Place the image onto your canvas.
3. **Resize and reposition:** Move the layer as needed.

AI-generated graphics behave like standard [image layers](/copy-of-halo-app/layout-designer/adding-layers/images.md) and can be adjusted, locked, or duplicated at any time.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Accessing Previously Generated Images

The Layout Designer stores a history of recently generated images within the AI generation settings, allowing you to:

* Reopen and reuse past designs.
* Edit and regenerate variations of previous prompts.
* Clear your generation history if needed.

These images are available across all layouts within a [preset](https://app.simplebooth.com/presets) and can be accessed when switching between different presets.
