What is InvokeAI?

InvokeAI is a generative AI platform designed for creating high-quality visual media. It allows users to create visual media by using AI-powered tools that are efficient, secure, and customizable.

A Powerful Tool for Visual Media Creation

InvokeAI is used by professionals in industries like entertainment, architecture, and product design to generate assets quickly. One key feature is its ability to create IP-compliant assets, meaning any visuals generated through the platform fully belong to the user. This makes it a great choice for studios and companies that need original content without worrying about intellectual property rights.

Full Ownership and Customizable Workflows

What sets Invoke apart is its focus on giving creators full control over their content. It allows users to build workflows that fit their specific needs, making it possible to adjust every detail of the visual output. This customization ensures that the final product matches the creator’s vision exactly, without the restrictions some other AI platforms might impose. Whether it’s a simple project or a large-scale production, Invoke offers precise creative control for its users.

Generating Your First Image with Invoke

Step 1: Open the Generate Tab

• Launch Invoke and navigate to the Generate tab (it's usually the default or main screen, as shown in the screenshot).
• This tab is the fastest way to turn your text descriptions (prompts) and any references into finished images. You'll see sections for prompts, settings, and a gallery on the right.

Step 2: Select a Model

• Look for the Model dropdown menu.Choose from the available models.

• If you need more, click on the Model Manager to add or download new ones.

Tip: Different models are great for different tasks (e.g., realistic photos vs. artistic styles). The app automatically adjusts controls when you switch models. For the latest info on what each model does best, check Invoke's official Model Guide.

Step 3: Enter Your Prompt

• In the central Prompt area, type a description of the image you want to create.

• You can also add and save Prompt Templates. These appear as reusable snippets—click to insert them into your prompt for faster setup.

Step 4: Adjust Key Settings (Essentials for Beginners)

• Aspect Ratio: Set the image shape (e.g., square, landscape).
• Steps: Start with 20-50 (higher means more detail but takes longer).
• Scheduler: Pick one like "Euler" for a good default.
• CFG Scale: Around 7-10 to balance how closely the image follows your prompt.

Step 5: Generate the Image

• Once your prompt and settings are ready, click the Invoke or Generate button.Wait a few seconds (or minutes, depending on your setup). The image will generate and automatically appear in your Gallery on the right side.

Step 6: View and Organize Your Image

• Your new image will be added to the selected Board in the Gallery (e.g., "Untitled" as in the screenshot).
• Organize it: Add or remove boards using the board management tools, and drag thumbnails between boards to sort them.
• If you like the result, great! If not, tweak your prompt or settings and generate again.

Using InvokeAI's Canvas to Edit and Create Images

Step 1: Open the Canvas Tab

• Launch InvokeAI and switch to the Canvas tab.
• On a blank canvas, you'll see a dotted outline (bounding box) that matches your aspect ratio from the Image tab. The left panel has tools.The center is the main canva.

Step 2: Understand Bounding Box and Basic Generation

• The bounding box is the dotted frame on the canvas—it sets where new content generates.
• Enter a prompt in the left Prompt area, then click Invoke.
• Invoke fills empty space inside the box using your prompt and layers, leaving the rest unchanged.
• Click Accept to add it as a Raster Layer in the left Layers tab.

Step 3: Expand and Outpaint (For Models Like Flux or SDXL)

• Drag the bounding box edges to make it bigger (screenshot shows expandable space).
• Click Invoke again—the new empty areas fill (called outpainting), while old content stays.
• Example: If you have an image (like the mountain lake), expand and generate to grow the scene.
• Note: Only works with certain models like Flux or SDXL—switch if needed.

Step 4: Image-to-Image Transformation (When Box Is Full)

• If the bounding box is fully filled (e.g., from an imported image), Invoke uses the visible Raster Layer as a starting point.
• Adjust the Denoising Strength slider in the left panel:
• • Low (e.g., 0.2-0.5): Small changes, sticks to original.
  • High (e.g., 0.7-1.0): Big transformations.
• This is image-to-image—great for tweaking existing images.

Step 5: Add Control Layers (For Models Like Flux or SDXL)

• In the left Layers tab or Control section, add a Control Layer (also called Control Nets).
• Upload a control image to the reference box (use right file manager).
• Pick a type, like:
• • Depth Map: Follows depth and space from your image.
  • Edge Detection: Keeps outlines and structure.
• Add a prompt, then Invoke. It locks in composition while generating.
• Tip: High precision, but takes practice.

Step 6: Simple Edits with Interpretive Models (Like Flux Context)

• For quick tweaks, add the image to edit as a Reference Image in the left Image section.
• Describe changes in the prompt, e.g., "Use this image's depth, but add nighttime lighting and retexture."
• Or: "Add a driveway with three luxury cars."
• Click Invoke—the model updates only relevant parts, keeping most intact.

Step 7: Advanced Inpainting (For Models Like Flux or SDXL)

• Switch to an inpainting model (like Flux or SDXL).
• Add an Inpaint Mask Layer in Layers tab, then use the Brush tool to mask the area to change.
• Paint extra guidance on the Raster Layer if needed.
• Adjust Denoising Strength:
• • Low: Subtle fixes.
  • High: Major changes.
• Add a prompt, then Invoke—it remixes only the masked area.

InvokeAI is designed to be easy to use and customize, making it a perfect tool for both beginners and experts.
