PIXYbot: Pictures from Text

You need a cover for your channel, an illustration for a post, or just a picture of a cat astronaut, but drawing is not your thing. PIXYbot makes images from a text description right in Telegram, and it understands Russian. 🎨

Below: what the bot does, how to write prompts that give good pictures, and what to keep in mind when working with neural networks.

Write in Russian, the bot handles the rest

The most common hurdle in image generation is that neural networks understand English better. PIXYbot removes it. The bot translates your request into English on its own and passes it to the neural network for a better result.

You do not have to pick English words or doubt your grammar. Describe the idea in your own words and the bot prepares the prompt.

What else PIXYbot does

• Voice to text. The bot translates voice messages from Russian into English. Handy if dictating an idea is easier.
• Blending. You can merge two images into one and get an unexpected result.
• Refining. An uploaded picture can be improved instead of drawing everything from scratch.
• The /swap command. One of the bot's available commands.

In its profile the bot calls itself a free helper for pictures, and community and support live in separate chats linked from the description.

How to write a prompt that works

Picture quality depends heavily on the description. A vague beautiful view yields a random result. Specifics always win.

1. Start with the main subject: who or what is in the picture.
2. Add the setting: where the action happens and at what time of day.
3. Name the style: watercolor, neon, photorealism, comic, oil painting.
4. Describe lighting and mood: soft dawn, dramatic shadows, a cozy evening.
5. Cut the extras: if the result argues with you, simplify the prompt.

Ideas to start with

If inspiration is missing, try these directions:

• Covers and avatars for channels and chats.
• Illustrations for posts and presentations.
• Character and place concepts for games and stories.
• Cards and unusual gifts for holidays.

Things to remember

A neural network sometimes slips on details: extra fingers, odd lettering, unnatural faces. Look at the result closely before you publish.

Do not use other people's photos without their consent, and do not create images that could harm someone. If you need a picture for commercial use, check the rules on using the results. ⚠️

If the bot is slow

Generation takes computing power, and under heavy load the bot may respond slowly or return an error. Wait a bit and repeat the request. If the problem persists, check the support chat linked in the bot's profile.

Since a service's features change over time, see the current terms in the bot itself. 🙂
