Tutorial 01

Generate an Image

Turn a sketch, 3D screenshot, model photo, or a photo of a real building into a photorealistic image.

1 Open the workspace

Sign in and you'll land on the main workspace. On desktop it shows two square buttons on the left (labeled 01 and 02) and an arrow-shaped Generate button. On mobile, the same three buttons sit in a row above the image area.

2 Upload your base image

Click button 01. A full-screen picker opens, showing any images you've used before plus an Upload tile.

Click Upload and choose a file from your device. The first time you upload anything, a one-time dialog asks you to confirm you have the rights to the file — click Confirm to continue. This won't appear again on the same browser.

Vipuri automatically analyzes your image while it uploads to detect whether it's a rough sketch or a more precise sketch/photo — this sets the default in the next step.

3 Check the Accuracy setting

Once your image is uploaded, an Accuracy switch appears next to it. Hover the ⓘ icon for a reminder of what each setting does:

  • High — best for 3D screenshots, photos, or precise, detailed drawings.
  • Low — best for rough sketches drawn with loose, imperfect strokes.

4 Choose a style preset

Click button 02. Browse the preset grid, or type a keyword (like "concrete," "sunset," or "glass") into the search bar to filter. Click any thumbnail to apply that style — the selector closes automatically.

5 Generate

Once you have both an image and a preset selected, the arrow (Generate) button lights up. Click it. A short countdown with an elapsed-time indicator appears while your image is created — you can cancel at any point if needed.

6 Review your result

Your generated image appears over your original in a before/after slider. Drag it left or right to compare the two.

Tip: click Generate again with the same image and preset to get a different interpretation — Vipuri won't produce the exact same result twice.
