Examples & practical guide
Multi Image List: organize references before combining them
Multi Image List accepts a list of reference images and one composition prompt. Use it when different sources contribute different parts of the intended image. The key task is managing those roles: several uploads are not automatically a coherent brief, and this is not a batch editor that independently processes every file.
A reference list, not a batch queue
Give every uploaded image a distinct role
Multi Image List uses several references to create a composition guided by one prompt. It does not mean “make a separate edited output for every upload.” Decide which source contributes the subject, which contributes the environment, and which contributes a specific visual treatment before assembling the list.
01 · Anchor
The person, object, or layout that should remain recognizable. Prefer one unambiguous anchor over several competing versions of the same subject.
02 · Context
The background or situation into which the anchor belongs. Select a compatible viewpoint and a clear place for the main subject.
03 · Optional detail
A prop, palette, or material reference only when the brief needs it. More inputs add more competing information, not automatically more accuracy.
Three suggested reference lists
Keep a note of the upload order and describe each reference by both number and subject. The examples below illustrate a planning method; they are not tested output claims. Start small, then add a reference only when it resolves something specific.
This app does not publish a fixed maximum number of references here. Do not assume unlimited images, and follow any upload validation shown by the generator.
A tabletop campaign concept
List: 1: your mug; 2: a wooden table; 3: a small plant. Prompt: “Place the mug from image 1 on the table in image 2. Put the plant from image 3 farther back on the left. Keep the mug shape and leave open space on the right.”
Review: each requested object should appear once. Compare object scale and shadows; reject extra handles, duplicated plants, or altered product markings.
A room mood-board composite
List: 1: your empty room; 2: a sofa; 3: a floor lamp. Prompt: “Keep the room layout from image 1. Place the sofa from image 2 against the back wall and the lamp from image 3 beside it. Preserve the windows and doorways.”
Review: check that doors remain usable in the concept and furniture does not overlap. The image does not verify real measurements or whether those products fit.
An original character in a setting
List: 1: your character drawing; 2: your forest illustration; 3: your palette reference. Prompt: “Place the character from image 1 on the path in image 2. Use the colors from image 3 without copying its objects. Preserve the character silhouette.”
Review: look for a blended identity or content leaking from the palette reference. Remove image 3 if its subject matter interferes with the composition.
Use an omission-first troubleshooting pass
- Count: is every required subject present, and is anything duplicated? If not, simplify the list and make object names explicit.
- Compare: are important shapes and facial features intact? Multiple similar people or products can blend rather than remain distinct.
- Integrate: do viewpoint and lighting agree? A new reference with a better angle may help more than a longer prompt.
- Reduce: remove the least necessary reference before adding new instructions. Rebuild the composition around the strongest anchor.
For a two-source brief, the explicit slots in Multi Image Kontext Max can be easier to organize. For multiple poses of one person rather than a composite, choose Portrait Series. Check the credit estimate before submitting each revised list, and preserve your original reference files separately.
Before you create
Multi Image List: common questions
Is Multi Image List the same as batch image editing?
No. It uses the uploaded references together for a prompt-guided composition. It does not promise a separate transformed output for each input. For multiple poses from one portrait, use Portrait Series instead.
What is the maximum number of reference images?
This app does not state a numerical maximum for its reference list. Follow any validation shown by the uploader and start with the smallest useful set. More references can create ambiguity and are not a guarantee of higher quality.
Why are people or objects getting mixed together?
The references may have overlapping roles or similar subjects. Identify each source by number and subject in the prompt, specify what to keep, and remove unnecessary inputs. Distinct people, products, and small details still need inspection after generation.
Choose your next step
- Multi Image Kontext Max
Use separate slots when the brief needs exactly two references.
- Portrait Series
Generate pose variations instead of a multi-reference composite.
