Whether you’re crafting marketing visuals, social media content, or custom artwork, Gemini 2.0 Flash simplifies the process. Let’s dive into the details.
Learn how to start generating images with Gemini 2.0 Flash in Google AI Studio by following these steps.
Head to Google AI Studio, log in with your Google account, and enable the Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental feature.
Integrate Gemini 2.0 Flash into your workflow by configuring API access.
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="us-central1"
export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=True
To get started, ensure your system meets these requirements:

pip install google-genai
Once your setup is complete, you’re ready to explore crafting prompts in the Image Generation Basics section.
Creating top-notch images starts with writing prompts that are clear and detailed. The more specific you are, the better the results.
Kick off your prompts with action phrases like "Create an image:" or "Generate an image:" to set the tone. Pay attention to these key areas:
"What is the key to unlocking awesome images with Gemini? Don't leave it guessing! Your prompts have to be clear and focused. Let's ditch those boring descriptions and get creative." - Leon Nicholls
Follow these tips to craft prompts that lead to better image results.
Once you’ve got the basics of writing prompts, here’s how to bring your first image to life:
Here’s an example of a well-crafted prompt:
"Generate a photorealistic image of a fashion show featuring medieval fantasy styles mixed with cyberpunk. Pull the camera back so we see his stylish outfit. He should be wearing something electric blue."
Fine-tune your images by making small adjustments to improve the outcome. Here are some ways to refine your results:
| Adjustment Type | Example Modifications |
