Making pictures, video and sound

Pictures, little videos, tunes and sound effects, all from a sentence or two. Here’s how to ask for them, shape them and keep your favourites.

    Ask her to draw something and she will, here’s how

    Describe a picture in your own words and Qbit draws it for you, right there in the conversation. Asking is the whole trick.

    1. Type what you want, for example "Make me a picture of a dragon reading a bedtime story".
    2. Give her a few seconds while she draws it.
    3. The picture appears inside her answer, with three small buttons underneath it.
    • The more you describe, the closer she gets. Colours, mood, time of day, who’s in it.
    • Add "high quality" or "detailed" to your request and she’ll use the higher quality tier.
    • Everyone in the family can ask for pictures, in their own words.

    Good to know: Good to know: each picture uses 5 Tool Credits. With a family subscription, your first 15 pictures each month come out of your monthly allotment before any credits are touched. A child’s pictures come out of the parent’s family pool, never the child’s.

    Set the look and the shape of every picture she makes, here’s how

    Found a look you love? Set it once and every picture she makes for you follows it. Lovely when you want a whole set to match.

    Screenshots are on their way for this one.

    1. Under the message box, tap the "Image options" pill.
    2. Pick a Style from the first dropdown. There are eleven, starting with "Default (model picks)" and running through Photorealistic, Watercolor, Oil painting, Comic book and more.
    3. Pick an Aspect from the second dropdown: Square, Landscape (wide) or Portrait (tall).
    4. Tap the "Image options" pill again to close the panel. A small dot and a short summary sit on the pill whenever something other than the default is on.
    5. Tap "Reset" any time you want the defaults back.
    • Your choice is remembered on that device, so it’s waiting for you next time you open Qbit.
    • The pill sits under the ask box on the Home page and under the reply box in a conversation. They’re the same panel, so setting one sets both.
    • Opening "Image options" closes "Video options", and the other way round, so one panel is open at a time.
    Yes, she makes little videos too, here’s how

    Describe a scene and Qbit turns it into a short video clip that plays right in the conversation, with normal play controls. The first one you see is genuinely lovely.

    1. Ask for a video, for example "Make a short video of waves at sunset".
    2. Give her roughly 30 to 90 seconds. She’ll let you know she’s working on it.
    3. The clip appears in her answer, ready for you to press play.
    • Describe the movement as well as the scene. "Slow drift over the water" gives you more than "the sea".
    • The same Save, Save to Qbit and Share buttons sit under a video, just like under a picture.

    Good to know: Good to know: each video uses 10 Tool Credits, and a child’s video comes out of the parent’s family pool. Now and then a video takes up to four minutes, and if she can’t finish it by then, she’ll tell you.

    Pick the style and shape of your video, here’s how

    Same idea as the picture settings, tuned for moving pictures. Choose the feel of the clip and the shape of the frame once, and she sticks with it.

    Screenshots are on their way for this one.

    1. Under the message box, tap the "Video options" pill.
    2. Pick a Style: Cinematic, Documentary, Animated, Vintage / Film, Dreamy / Surreal, Nature documentary, Action / Dynamic or Timelapse.
    3. Pick an Aspect: 16:9 Widescreen (landscape), 9:16 Vertical (TikTok / Reels) or 1:1 Square (Instagram feed).
    4. Tap the pill again to close the panel. The little dot on the pill tells you the settings are on.
    5. Tap "Reset" to clear them.
    • Heading for a phone screen? Pick 9:16 Vertical and the clip fills it properly.
    • Your choices are saved on that device, and the Home panel and the conversation panel share them.
    She can compose a little tune or a sound effect, here’s how

    Ask for music or a sound and Qbit composes you a short clip, then drops a player straight into her answer. Perfect for a homemade game, or a silly sound for a school project.

    1. Ask for what you want, for example "Make an upbeat 8-bit tune for a platformer game".
    2. Give her roughly 10 to 40 seconds.
    3. Press play on the audio player in her answer.
    • Sound skips the Style and Aspect pills, so your words do the steering. Instrument, mood, tempo, how long.
    • Clips run from 1 to 30 seconds, and land on 8 seconds if you don’t say.
    • This is her composing something brand new, which is a different thing from read aloud.

    Good to know: Good to know: each clip uses 8 Tool Credits, and the music is instrumental only, so there are no vocals or lyrics.

    Put your family at the Eiffel Tower, here’s how

    Send Qbit a real photo, tell her where you’d rather be, and she puts the people in that photo into a brand new scene. It’s the one people show their friends.

    1. Tap "+" then Photo or Camera and attach your photo.
    2. First time? Accept the one time photo agreement when it appears.
    3. In the same message, describe the scene you want, for example "Put the two of us on a beach at sunset".
    4. Send it. Your new picture comes back with Save, Save to Qbit and Share underneath.
    • A clear photo with faces looking at the camera gives the best result.
    • Paint the whole scene, not just the place. Weather, time of day, what you’re doing.

    Good to know: Good to know: this uses 5 Tool Credits, and they come back to you automatically if the edit doesn’t work out. The photo you send and the picture that comes back each get a safety check, and either one can be turned down. For a child, this works while the parent’s "Photos & images" toggle is on for that child, which it is by default. Making a picture from scratch works either way.

    Ask her to remember a photo and you never have to attach it again, here’s how

    Save one good photo of your family, and from then on you can just say "put us in Paris". Your camera roll gets the day off.

    1. Attach the photo with "+" then Photo.
    2. Tell her plainly, for example "Remember this photo of my family" or "Save this pic of me".
    3. Later, in any conversation, ask for a scene using "us" or "me" and she’ll reuse the saved photo on her own.
    • She saves a photo when you ask her outright, so say the words.
    • It needs a photo you attached yourself, with people in it.
    • You can keep up to 20 saved photos per person, and she’ll use up to 4 of them in a single picture.

    Good to know: Good to know: saved photos live in a private store, never a public one. The same one time photo agreement applies, and for a child the parent’s "Photos & images" toggle needs to be on.

    Save it, keep it in Qbit or share it, here’s what the three buttons under every picture do

    Every picture and video Qbit makes comes with three small buttons underneath. One puts it on your device, one keeps it inside Qbit, and one sends it off to whoever you like.

    Screenshots are on their way for this one.

    1. Find the picture or video in her answer and look just below it.
    2. Tap the down arrow, "Save", to download it to your device.
    3. Tap the bookmark, "Save to Qbit", to keep it in your Photos inside the app. The button turns into a tick once it lands.
    4. Tap the share glyph, "Share", to send it on. On a phone that opens the normal share sheet. On a desktop it copies the picture, ready to paste into a message.
    • The same three buttons sit under generated videos too.
    • Already saved it? "Save to Qbit" lets you know it’s in your Qbit Photos, so nothing gets saved twice.
