Quick Start Guide

A hands-on tour of Hylope’s core generation tasks. Work through all of it, or jump straight to the section you need — each one takes a few minutes.

Generate an image

1. Open Create

   Create is the default view when you sign in. Make sure Image Generation mode is selected in the mode selector.

2. Pick a provider and write a prompt

   Gemini (Nano Banana 2) is a fast, high-quality default. Type a prompt, for example: A futuristic cityscape at sunset, cinematic lighting.

3. Adjust settings and generate

   Optionally set the aspect ratio (16:9, 1:1, 9:16, etc.), quality (1K up to 4K on models that support it), or a seed for reproducibility. Click Generate.

Your image appears in the gallery below once processing completes. Click it to open the lightbox for a full-size view.

Generate a video

1. Switch to Video Generation

   Choose a provider — Veo (Google) is a solid default.

2. Choose how to start

   Generate from text only, a start frame (upload an image as the first frame), or interpolation (provide start and end frames).

3. Set duration and resolution, then generate

   Options depend on the provider — Veo offers 4, 6, or 8 second clips up to 4K; other providers range further. Click Generate.

Edit an image

1. Switch to Image Edit

   Upload or select a reference image from your gallery.

2. Describe the edit

   For example: Remove the background and replace with a tropical beach. Gemini and Qwen both work well for edits.

3. Choose a provider and generate

Upscale an asset

1. Switch to Upscale

   Upload or select an image or video to upscale.

2. Choose a provider

   • Topaz — deepest restoration and upscale controls, for images or video
   • Clarity — good general-purpose option
   • Magnific — creative enhancement with detail generation

3. Set the upscale factor and generate

Organize your work

• Projects — folders to organize different campaigns or briefs
• Shots — sub-folders within projects for granular organization
• Favorites — star assets you want quick access to
• Use Gallery for a full-screen asset management view
• Use Snippets to save reusable prompt text and visual templates
• Use Share to organize folders and send public links to clients

Reuse a prompt snippet

1. Save a snippet

   Open Snippets and create one with prompt text you use often.

2. Insert it in Create

   Return to Create, type @ in the prompt editor, and choose the snippet.

3. Generate normally

Try a visual template

1. Turn on Template

   Open Create, select Image Gen, and turn on Template in the right settings panel.

2. Choose and fill a template

   Pick a saved template, then click the template-controlled prompt bar to open the template editor and fill in its fields.

3. Apply and generate

   Click Apply Prompt, then generate the image.

Tips

• Use seeds to reproduce results — same prompt + same seed = same output
• Batch generation lets you create multiple variations at once
• Lineage tracking shows the full history of edits and variations for any asset
• Right-click any asset for quick actions (edit, upscale, use as reference, download)
• Keyboard shortcuts: arrow keys in the lightbox, Escape to close
