How to Use the AI Image Generator in UpHex

Want to create eye-catching images for your ads in minutes? The AI Image Generator inside Uppie AI makes it easy -- no design skills required.

Getting Started

  1. Go to your UpHex dashboard.

  2. Click on Uppie AI in the left-hand menu.

  3. At the top, you will see tabs including:

    • Image Generator -- creates AI images

    • Video Clip Generator -- creates short AI videos

For this guide, we will focus on the Image Generator.

Creating a New Image

  1. In the prompt bar, type a short description of what you want.

    • Example: "A smiling real estate agent in front of a new home."

  2. (Optional) Click the image upload icon to attach a reference image.

    • You can upload a photo of yourself or another image you want to edit or use as a reference.

Uploading and Editing Images

Here is where things get really powerful:

Edit an Existing Image

  • Upload an image from the UpHex Ad Library or your device.

  • Example: "Use the same image but remove the old price and add $499."

  • Select a model that supports editing (Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 4, or Flux 2 Flex).

You Can Make AI Images of Yourself

  • Upload your own photo.

  • Choose an editing-capable model like Nano Banana 2.

  • Enter your prompt and the tool will create realistic AI versions of you.

Choosing Settings

You can adjust:

  • AI Model:

    • Nano Banana (1 credit) -- flexible generation and editing

    • Nano Banana 2 (2 credits, default) -- fast generation and editing

    • Nano Banana Pro (3 credits) -- enhanced quality generation and editing

    • Imagen 4 (1 credit) -- photorealistic images by Google

    • Seedream 4 (1 credit) -- high-quality images by ByteDance

    • Flux 2 Flex (1 credit) -- improved typography and adjustable steps

  • Image Size (varies by model):

    • Square (HD): 1024x1024, Square: 512x512

    • Portrait 4:3, Portrait 16:9

    • Landscape 4:3, Landscape 16:9

    • For Facebook ads, we recommend Square.

    • For Google ads, you need at least one landscape and one square.

Generating Your Image

When ready:

  1. Click Generate Image.

  2. Wait about a minute -- your image will appear shortly.

  3. Each image uses credits from your monthly allowance (amount depends on the model selected).

Managing Credits

  • You get a set number of AI credits each month (based on your UpHex plan).

  • You can see your used and remaining credits at the top of the Uppie AI page.

  • Need more? Click Purchase next to your credit counter to buy extra.

  • You can also configure Auto-Refill via the Settings button next to Purchase.

  • Credits renew at the beginning of each billing cycle.

After You Create an Image

Once your image is ready, click on it to see the following actions:

  • Turn Into Ad -- Describe your campaign and let AI create a full ad template using this image.

  • Generate Similar -- Create a new image with a similar style and subject.

  • Edit Image -- Use AI to make touch-ups or adjustments to the image.

  • Add to Template -- Include the image directly in one of your ad templates.

  • Add to Client -- Add the image to a specific client's image library.

  • Turn Into Video -- Convert the image into an AI-generated video clip.

BONUS: Generate Prompts from Ad Templates

At the bottom of the Image Generator tool, you will find a powerful feature:

Template Option

Click the Template button to search through all your ad templates inside UpHex.

Here is how it works:

  1. Select the ad template you want to create an image for.

  2. Click Generate Prompt.

  3. The system will automatically analyze your ad copy and generate a prompt based on that content.

You can tweak the prompt if you would like, then click Generate Image to bring it to life.

Guidelines Option

Next to the Template option, you will also see Guidelines.

Clicking this opens a set of best practices and tips for:

  • Writing stronger prompts

  • Improving image quality

  • Staying up-to-date with AI image trends

It is the easiest way to level up your creative process and keep your visuals performing at their best.
