AI image glossary
Every term you'll meet making images with AI — explained in plain English, with the tool where you can see each concept in action.

Can you use AI-generated images commercially? The practical answer: usually yes via the tool's license — with honest nuance about copyright law.
Read the answer →How to Restore Old Photos
Every way to restore an old photo — careful scanning, manual retouching, and the AI route that removes scratches, sharpens faces and adds color in seconds.
Read the answer →Resolution vs DPI
Resolution is how many pixels an image has; DPI is how densely they print. Why screens ignore DPI and how many pixels you need for print sizes.
Read the answer →What Does PFP Mean?
PFP means 'profile picture' — the image on your social accounts. Where the term comes from, how it's used, and tools to make a great one.
Read the answer →What Is a Diffusion Model?
Diffusion models create images by learning to reverse noise — the technology behind modern AI art. A plain-English explanation of how they work.
Read the answer →What Is a Negative Prompt?
A negative prompt tells an AI image generator what to leave OUT — artifacts, styles or objects you don't want. How it works and when to use one.
Read the answer →What Is a Seed in AI Art?
A seed is the number that sets an AI generation's starting randomness — same seed + same prompt = same image. How to use seeds for consistency.
Read the answer →What Is AI Upscaling?
AI upscaling enlarges an image while adding realistic detail instead of blur. How it differs from normal resizing and when to use it.
Read the answer →What Is an AI Avatar?
An AI avatar is a generated image that represents you online — from stylized portraits to full characters. Types, uses and how to make one.
Read the answer →What Is an AI Image Prompt?
An AI image prompt is the text description a generator turns into a picture. Learn what makes prompts work, with examples and tools to practice.
Read the answer →What Is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is an image's width-to-height proportion — 16:9, 1:1, 9:16. What the numbers mean and which ratio each platform expects.
Read the answer →What Is Image-to-Image?
Image-to-image AI transforms an existing photo instead of starting from text — restyles, edits and variations that keep your original as the base.
Read the answer →What Is Inpainting?
Inpainting is AI's way of filling a selected area of an image — removing objects or replacing regions so seamlessly the edit disappears.
Read the answer →What Is Outpainting?
Outpainting extends an image beyond its original borders — AI continues the scene to uncrop photos or change aspect ratios without stretching.
Read the answer →What Is Style Transfer?
Style transfer repaints your photo in another visual style — anime, watercolor, oil painting — while keeping the subject. How it works and its uses.
Read the answer →What Is Virtual Staging?
Virtual staging furnishes and styles a room digitally from a photo — what it costs vs physical staging, disclosure rules, and how AI does it.
