Styles gallery
The styles gallery is a shortcut to good results. Each style is a ready-made recipe, a prompt and a set of controls, that opens straight into the composer, already filled in.
Quick overview
- Browse the Featured rail and the Explore grid.
- Filter by prompt, photo, or video.
- Pick a style to open it in the composer, ready to generate or adjust.
Browsing styles
The gallery has two sections: a Featured rail highlighting standout styles, and an Explore grid holding the rest. Styles shared by the community appear inside Explore alongside built-in ones, there is no separate community tab, so browsing Explore already shows you both.
| Filter | What it is |
|---|---|
| All | Every style, regardless of type |
| Prompt | Sets up a text prompt |
| Photo | Works from a base photo you provide |
| Video | Sets up a clip |
Pick a style and it opens in the composer with its prompt and controls already set, ready to generate as is or adjust to fit your subject.
| Featured | Explore | |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | A horizontal rail | A full grid |
| Content | A curated handful of standout styles | Everything else, built-in and community |
| Best for | Quick inspiration | Browsing by type when you know what you want |
Video styles play on their own in the grid, so you can see the motion before opening anything. They are muted and loop, pause while scrolled out of view, and fall back to a still cover if your system asks for reduced motion.
Opening a style
What happens when you open a style depends on its type. A prompt style drops straight into the composer with its text and controls filled in, ready to generate immediately. A photo style needs a base photo from you before it can run, so you're prompted to provide one. A video style behaves like a prompt style but opens in video mode with duration, aspect ratio, and any start or end frame slots already configured.
The model comes with the style
A style is more than a prompt and controls: the same recipe run on a different provider gives a different result. So a shared style also carries the model it was generated with, shown on its card detail, and opening it switches your composer to that model as well as its settings.
If you do not have an API key for that model's provider yet, nothing is blocked: the style still opens, you get a notice naming the provider, and you can either add the key in Settings > AI or pick a model of your own before generating. Older shared styles from before models were recorded carry no model, and those leave your current selection untouched.
Sharing your own
Sharing a style publishes it into Explore for others to use. Two things need to be true before you can share anything: you have accepted the community's contribution agreement at least once, and your account-wide sharing switch is on. Both live in Community. With those in place, share a style from inside the composer, and it goes through the workspace's review flow, either publishing right away or waiting for moderator approval, depending on how the workspace is configured, with a title and category suggested for you automatically.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Submitted | Waiting for review, if the workspace requires it |
| Published | Live in Explore for everyone |
| Rejected | Did not pass review |
| Taken down | Removed after being live, by a moderator |
Every style, built-in or shared, shows how many times it has been used, so popular recipes are easy to spot inside Explore.
Step by step
Use a photo style on your own image
- Open the styles gallery and go to the Explore grid.
- Set the filter to Photo so you only see styles that work from a base photo.
- Open a style you like. Because it is a photo style, you're prompted to provide a base photo before it can run.
- Upload or pick your photo. The style's prompt and controls are already filled in for you.
- Adjust the prompt or any control if you want it to fit your subject more closely, then generate.
Share a style you liked
- First set both prerequisites on the Community page: accept the contribution agreement once, and turn your account-wide sharing switch on. See Community.
- In the composer, run a generation you're happy with using the style.
- Share the style from the composer. A title and category are suggested automatically.
- Review the suggested title and category, adjust them if needed, then submit.
- It enters the workspace review flow: publishing right away or waiting for moderator approval, depending on how the workspace is configured. Watch its status move through Submitted, then Published or Rejected.
Open a prompt or video style
- Open the gallery and set the filter to Prompt or Video for the kind of style you want.
- Open a style. A prompt style drops straight into the composer with its text and controls filled in, ready to generate immediately.
- A video style opens the same way but in video mode, with duration, aspect ratio, and any start or end frame slots already configured.
- Edit the prompt or controls to fit your subject, then generate.
Common tasks
| Goal | Do this |
|---|---|
| See which model a shared style used | Open it, the model and its provider are shown above the buttons |
| See both built-in and community styles | Browse Explore, they're mixed together with no separate tab |
| Spot popular recipes | Look at each style's use count |
| Only browse clips | Set the filter to Video |
| Reuse a style but change the subject | Open it, then edit the prompt and controls before generating |
Styles are not templates
The styles gallery is easy to confuse with the templates gallery in the workspace, they're separate things. A style is a generation recipe: a prompt and controls that feed into AI Studio. A template is a finished design, a whole page or part, that you drop into the editor and edit directly. Sharing one does not share the other, and they live in different places for browsing.
Troubleshooting
- A photo style will not generate. Photo styles run from a base photo. Provide one (upload or pick an existing image) before generating; without it, the style will not run.
- The share action will not go through. Sharing needs both the contribution agreement and the account-wide sharing switch. If either is missing, the share will not go through, so check both on the Community page.
- I cannot find a community tab. There isn't one. Community styles live inside Explore next to the built-in ones, so browsing Explore already shows both.
- I opened a style and it says I have no API key. The style was generated on a provider you have no key for, and your composer switched to that model along with the settings. Add the key in Settings > AI, or change the model back to a provider you do have, then generate.
- A video card is not moving. Cards pause while off screen and stay still if your system has reduced motion turned on; scroll it into view, or check that setting.
Start from a style, then make it yours
A style is a starting point, not a final answer. Open one, then edit the prompt and controls to fit your subject before you generate.
Sharing needs two things
The contribution agreement and the account-wide sharing switch are both required. See Community for exactly where each one stands on your account.
