What Is Dreamina AI?
Dreamina is part of CapCut’s creative ecosystem. Its current AI image generator can create realistic images, illustrations, anime-style artwork, product visuals, marketing graphics, and other designs from text or visual references.
The available model selector has expanded since the original video was recorded. Dreamina’s current model catalog includes options from the Seedream family as well as models such as GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana. The exact list can vary by region, account, and product update, so select the model that best matches your project instead of assuming one model is always available.
How to Use Dreamina AI
1. Open Dreamina and Choose an Image Workflow
Sign in to Dreamina and open the AI Image workspace. Start with text-to-image when you are creating a visual from a written description. Choose image-to-image or upload a reference when the result needs to follow an existing person, object, composition, or visual style.
2. Select the Model and Output Settings
Choose an available image model, then set the aspect ratio and output size for the final use case. A vertical format works well for mobile content, while landscape formats are better suited to YouTube thumbnails, banners, and presentation graphics. Model names and resolution options may change as Dreamina updates its platform.
3. Describe the Image Clearly
Use a clear description of the subject, setting, composition, lighting, and visual style. Keep the important details consistent when generating multiple variations of the same character or product. This gives the model a more stable creative direction than changing every part of the description between generations.
4. Add Reference Images When Accuracy Matters
Reference images are useful for character design, products, logos, poses, layouts, and style matching. Upload a clean image with an unobstructed subject, then use Dreamina’s reference controls to guide the new result. Reference-based generation can improve continuity, although no image generator guarantees identical output in every generation.
5. Generate and Compare Several Results
Review the generated options before moving to a larger content project. Check the face, hands, text, product details, background, and overall composition. For a recurring character, test several still images first. This is faster than discovering consistency problems after building an entire campaign or video.
6. Edit, Retouch, or Upscale the Selected Image
Dreamina’s current AI photo editor supports image-to-image transformations and interactive editing. Depending on the selected workspace and model, you may also see tools for retouching, removing or replacing elements, expanding an image, and upscaling the result. Review the final image at full size before downloading it.
