How to Use Strata - Visual Guide

1

Choose Your Mode

Select a prompt mode that matches your target AI platform. Strata generates optimized language prompts for Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Nano Banana, and General AI. Use Image to Prompt to reverse engineer any image into editable prompt and layers, or switch to ChatGPT Question to turn your words into intelligent questions.

Each mode reshapes the same words into platform optimized output.

2

Add Words to Your Strata

Type a word or phrase into the input field and tap Add. Each word becomes a layer in your prompt structure. You can also add an optional subline beneath each word to refine its meaning — for example, the word "Ocean" with a subline "at golden hour" gives the AI more specific direction.

Use "Surprise Me" to instantly generate a coordinated creative combination of words and sublines inspired by your first layer, or use "Total Random" for a completely unexpected sequence of words.

3

Reorder by Importance

Drag and drop words to reorder them. The Strata System assigns emphasis based on position: the top word carries the strongest influence (100%), while each subsequent layer adds progressively refined detail. This hierarchy directly shapes how the AI interprets your creative intent.

Use the section next to your line or subline to edit, delete or randomize.

4

Pick and Mix Styles

Choose from 27 style presets ranging from Photorealistic and Cinematic to Sketch, Watercolor, and Abstract. You can select multiple styles at once — combining them creates unique blended aesthetics. For example, mixing "Photo + Cinematic + Hyperreal" produces a different feel than "Sketch + Vintage + Dreamy".

Each style also has variants you can explore. Mixing 2 to 3 styles often produces the most interesting results.

5

Adjust Prompt Length

Use the prompt length slider to control how detailed your output will be. A shorter prompt gives the AI more creative freedom, while a longer prompt includes more of your layered details and precise descriptions. Find the sweet spot that matches your level of creative control.

Short prompts work well for exploration. Long prompts work best when you have a very specific vision.

6

Generate Your Prompt

Tap "Generate" and the AI weaves your layered words, selected styles, and mode settings into a polished, ready to use prompt. The output appears with a copy button so you can paste it directly into Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, or any other AI tool. You can also save prompts for later use.

Tap the copy button for instant clipboard access. Generate again with the same words for slightly different creative interpretations.

7

Explore and Mix Templates

Browse 25 interactive templates across categories like Architecture, Fashion, Product Design, and more. Each template has customizable slots you can fill, randomize, or leave open. You can mix multiple templates together — combining "Architecture" with "Cinematic Scene" creates entirely new creative directions you wouldn't reach with either alone.

Try mixing 2 to 3 templates from different categories. The unexpected combinations often produce the most compelling prompts.

8

Transform and Refine

After generating a prompt, use 25 transform actions to push it further. Shift the mood, change the lighting, add new materials, adjust perspective, expand detail, or apply a Concept Sketch with 20 sketch style variants. Each transform reshapes your prompt while preserving your original creative intent.

Chain multiple transforms to iteratively refine your prompt toward your exact vision.

9

Create Video Prompts

Transform any generated prompt into a dynamic video prompt using the Video Transform feature. The AI analyzes your composition and adds intelligent camera movement, pacing, temporal flow, and cinematic direction. The result is a prompt optimized for video AI platforms like Kling, Veo, and RunWay.

Start with a strong image prompt, then use Video Transform to bring it to life with movement and timing.

Image to Prompt

Upload any image and let the AI analyze it. Strata's vision system detects composition, color palette, lighting, mood, camera angle, geometric patterns, and artistic style — then structures everything into layered word strata. Use these generated layers as a starting point, rearrange them, and generate new prompts inspired by existing visuals.

Great for reverse engineering styles you admire or building on reference images.

11

Write in Any Language

Strata understands every language. Type your words and sublines in Arabic, Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, or any other language you think in. The AI processes your meaning and always generates a polished prompt in English, ready to paste into any AI image or video generator. No translation needed on your end.

Think in your native language, get results in the universal language of AI prompts.
