Getting Started

What is GemPix 2 and how is it different from other AI image generators?

GemPix 2 is Google's AI image generation platform powered by Gemini 3 Pro, designed specifically for professional creative workflows. Unlike competitors like Midjourney or DALL-E 3, GemPix 2 delivers:

95% character consistency across unlimited images (vs 50-60% for competitors)
Multi-image fusion combining 3-13 references into cohesive output
Conversational editing for iterative refinement without regeneration
2.3-second average generation (6x faster than Midjourney)
Professional photorealism optimized for commercial use

The key differentiator: Gemini 3 Pro's multi-modal architecture enables persistent character memory, contextual understanding, and cross-image reasoning impossible with traditional diffusion-only models.

Do I need design or AI experience to use GemPix 2?

No. GemPix 2 is designed for natural language interaction—you describe what you want in plain English, and the AI generates it. No technical parameters, complex syntax, or design software experience required.

Beginner-friendly workflow:

Describe your image: "professional headshot, office background, confident expression"
Generate in 2-3 seconds
Refine conversationally: "make background darker," "change shirt to blue"

Most users generate their first useful image within 5 minutes. For structured learning, follow our [[guides/getting-started]] guide.

Character Consistency

How does 95% character consistency work?

When you upload a reference image, Gemini 3 Pro analyzes 128 facial landmarks, clothing patterns, and identifying features, creating a persistent "character fingerprint." All subsequent generations reference this fingerprint, maintaining identity across different scenes, lighting, poses, and expressions.

Technical Process:

Upload reference image of your character
AI encodes facial geometry, textures, clothing into 512-dimension vector
New generations match this vector while allowing scene variations
Consistency maintained across unlimited images (no degradation over time)

95% accuracy means: in 10,000 test image pairs, 9,530 maintained identical character features. The 5% variance typically involves extreme pose changes or lighting that temporarily obscures features—still recognizably the same character, just not pixel-perfect identical.

Learn more: [[features/character-consistency]]

Can I use character consistency with real people or only illustrations?

Both—character consistency works with photographs of real people, illustrated characters, brand mascots, or any consistent subject.

Real People Examples:

Company spokesperson appearing in 50 marketing images
Founder headshots with different backgrounds/outfits
Model appearing across product catalog

Illustrated Characters:

Comic book protagonist across 100 panels
Brand mascot in various scenes and activities
Game character in different poses and emotions

Important: For real people, ensure you have rights to use their likeness commercially. Don't generate images of public figures or celebrities without permission.

How many reference images do I need for character consistency?

Minimum: 1 high-quality reference image

Recommended: 2-3 images from different angles for complex characters

Optimal Reference Image Characteristics:

Clear, unobstructed view of face (if character/person)
Good lighting showing features clearly
1024×1024 pixels or higher resolution
Subject occupies significant portion of frame
Front or three-quarter angle (not extreme profile)

Multiple Angles: Upload 2-3 references showing front, side, and three-quarter views for maximum accuracy across all generated angles. Use [[features/multi-image-fusion]] to create comprehensive character sheet.

Does character consistency work across different artistic styles?

Partially—character features remain consistent, but extreme style changes may affect accuracy.

Works Well (90%+ consistency):

Photorealism → editorial photography → lifestyle photography
Cartoon style A → cartoon style B (same simplification level)
3D render → different lighting/materials but same style
Illustration → different artist style but similar detail level

Challenging (70-85% consistency):

Photorealism → anime/cartoon (feature simplification required)
Realistic → abstract/impressionistic (artistic interpretation varies)
Detailed illustration → minimalist line art (feature reduction)

Best Practice: Maintain similar artistic style across series for maximum consistency. If style change required, generate character reference in new style first, then use that for subsequent images.

✅ Generations are private (not shared publicly unless you choose)
✅ No selling data to third parties
✅ GDPR compliant (Q1 2026 certification)
✅ SOC 2 Type II certified (Q2 2026)

Data Usage:

Prompts: Analyzed to improve generation quality (anonymized)
Images: Stored encrypted, accessible only to you
Reference images: Used only for your generations, not shared
Usage analytics: Aggregate only (no individual tracking beyond basic account activity)

Enterprise: Private cloud deployment available for sensitive industries (healthcare, government, finance) requiring on-premises or isolated cloud hosting.

Workflow & Best Practices

What's the best workflow for creating 100+ consistent images?

Production Pipeline (for high-volume consistent series):

Phase 1: Planning (30 min)

Define image requirements and variations needed
Create prompt templates with [variables]
Prepare reference images for [[features/character-consistency]]
Set up folder structure and naming conventions

Phase 2: Character/Style Establishment (15 min)

Generate master character reference (if not using existing photo)
Test character consistency across 3-5 test generations
Establish style reference library (lighting, composition, aesthetic)
Document successful prompt patterns

Phase 3: Batch Generation (varies by volume)

Generate base images using systematic prompt variations
Apply [[features/character-consistency]] across entire series
Use [[features/multi-image-fusion]] for complex compositions
Generate 50-100 at a time, QA, then continue

Phase 4: Refinement (30-50% of generation time)

Use [[features/conversational-editing]] for batch adjustments
Apply [[features/precise-local-edits]] for specific fixes
A/B test critical variations
Final quality review against established benchmarks

Time Estimates:

100 images: 2-3 hours (with optimization)
500 images: 8-12 hours (spread over 2-3 days)
1000+ images: Enterprise consultation for pipeline automation

Learn advanced techniques: [[guides/advanced-techniques]]

How do I maintain consistent style across many images?

Style Consistency Strategies:

1. Style Reference Image Upload reference image representing desired aesthetic, then include in [[features/multi-image-fusion]] for each generation:

[Your subject], using lighting and style from reference image

2. Detailed Style Prompts Create reusable style templates:

cinematic lighting, warm color grading, shallow depth of field,
50mm lens, f/2.8, golden hour, film grain, editorial photography

3. Save Successful Generations When a generation perfectly captures desired style:

Download and save as "style reference"
Use in future fusions or as visual prompt reminder
Document exact prompt used

4. Systematic Prompt Structure Use identical style components across all prompts:

[VARIABLE SUBJECT] + [CONSISTENT STYLE BLOCK]

Example:

Professional headshot of [different people], modern office background,
soft window lighting from left, neutral gray walls, business casual attire,
confident expression, 85mm portrait lens, f/1.8, shallow depth of field

Consistency Verification: Generate 5 test images with different subjects but same style block. If they feel cohesive, your style is locked.

Can I edit someone else's AI-generated image?

Technical Capability: Yes—upload any image (AI-generated or not) and use [[features/conversational-editing]] or [[features/precise-local-edits]] to modify it.

Legal/Ethical Considerations:

✅ Your own AI-generated images: Edit freely
✅ Public domain images: Edit freely
✅ Licensed stock photos: Check license terms (most allow derivative works)
⚠️ Others' copyrighted work: Requires permission
❌ Others' AI generations: Respect creator rights (ask permission)

Best Practice: If unsure about rights, generate similar image from scratch rather than editing someone else's work.

What's the difference between conversational editing and regenerating?

Conversational Editing ([[features/conversational-editing]]):

Preserves original image composition and character identity
Applies incremental changes: "make background darker," "change shirt color"
2-3 second edits (not full regeneration)
Maintains context across multiple edit rounds
80% faster than regeneration workflow

Regeneration:

Starts from scratch with new prompt
Complete reinterpretation (may lose desired elements)
2.3 second generation time
No guarantee of preserving good elements from previous attempt
Use when fundamental concept needs changing

When to Use Each:

Edit: You're 70%+ satisfied, need specific adjustments
Regenerate: Fundamental concept/composition is wrong

Optimal Workflow: Regenerate 2-3 times to find promising direction → conversationally edit to perfection.

Troubleshooting

My generations don't match my prompt. What's wrong?

Common Causes & Fixes:

1. Vague Prompts

❌ Problem: "Nice office"
✅ Solution: "Modern minimalist office, floor-to-ceiling windows, white desk, ergonomic chair, plants, natural lighting"

2. Conflicting Instructions

❌ Problem: "Dark moody lighting, bright cheerful atmosphere"
✅ Solution: Choose one aesthetic direction

3. Over-Specification

❌ Problem: 200-word prompt with 50 specific requirements
✅ Solution: Focus on 5-7 key elements, let AI handle details

4. Unrealistic Combinations

❌ Problem: "Photorealistic cartoon character"
✅ Solution: Decide: photorealistic OR cartoon style

Learn effective prompting: [[guides/best-prompts]]

Character consistency isn't working. What should I check?

Troubleshooting Checklist:

Reference Image Quality:

✅ Resolution 1024×1024 or higher?
✅ Face/subject clearly visible (not obscured)?
✅ Good lighting showing features?
✅ Front or three-quarter angle (not extreme profile)?

Prompt Issues:

❌ Avoid: "different person," "someone else," "change character"
✅ Use: "same character," "same person," consistent subject references

Extreme Variations:

Some poses/angles challenging: extreme profile, top-down view, far distance
Lighting extremes: very dark shadows, silhouettes obscure features
Style changes: photorealistic → cartoon reduces consistency

System Status:

Check [status page] for known issues
Try regenerating (occasional random variation normal)

Still not working? Contact support with reference image and failed generations for troubleshooting.

Generations are slow or timing out. How do I fix this?

Speed Optimization:

Check Internet Connection:
