Keywords for Image Generation: A Beginner’s Guide to Getting It Right

Table of Contents

Thinking about how to generate image using AI tools, and all that too with the perfect result? It’s a simple thing — it all begins with the correct keywords.

AI applications such as DALL·E, Midjourney, and Leonardo operate on the basis of prompts. And those prompts require strong, key keywords. Agar aap vague ya confusing keywords doge, toh output bhi waise hi milega — half-baked or totally off.

But don’t worry. Thoda smart kaam karte hain. This blog will walk you through the most key keywords that you must use while creating AI images.

Why Keywords Matter in AI Image Generation

AI models do not “see” in the way humans do. They learn text-based commands.

Writing the correct words assists you in:

  • Achieving clear and accurate images
  • Regulating the style, color, mood, and format
  • Saving time from trial and error

Jaise Google search mein sahi words use karte hain, waise hi yaha bhi.

1. Keywords That Define the Subject

Begin with the key thing you wish to appear in the image. Be precise.

Examples:

  • Indian bride in red lehenga
  • Delhi street food stall
  • Luxury sports car on a highway

Tips:

  • Always include what you want (object, person, scene)
  • Add some details like location or context for the best results

2. Style-Based Keywords

Style makes all the difference — cartoonish vs. realistic, vintage vs. modern.

Useful styles to try:

  • Realistic
  • Cartoon
  • Flat illustration
  • 3D render
  • Sketch
  • Watercolor painting
  • Anime-style
  • Minimalist

Example Prompt:
“A 3D render of a futuristic Indian train”

3. Mood or Lighting Keywords

Need the photo to be warm? Or dramatic? Mood bhi important hai, boss.

Examples of mood/lighting:

  • Moody lighting
  • Soft shadows
  • Sunset glow
  • Bright daylight
  • Cinematic
  • Foggy atmosphere
  • Neon lights

Use case:
“A street in Mumbai at night with neon lights and rain”

4. Color Keywords

If you have a brand palette or color preference, mention it.

Color-related keywords:

  • Monochrome
  • Pastel colors
  • Vibrant colors
  • Black and white
  • Earth tones

Bonus Tip: Include precise colors such as “with a red background and golden highlights”.

5. Composition & Camera Angles

Most beneficial for product mockups or photography-aimed images.

Try these:

  • Top-down view
  • Close-up
  • Wide shot
  • Portrait orientation
  • Isometric angle
  • Side view

Prompt example:
“Top-down view of a chai cup on a wooden table”

6. Format Keywords

Tell the AI if you would like a specific kind of output.

Format-related keywords:

  • Vector graphic
  • Transparent background
  • Poster design
  • Infographic
  • Icon set
  • Wallpaper

This comes in handy when you need to use the image for a particular purpose.

Last Words: Direct Like a Director, Not Merely a User

AI software is great, but only if you direct them correctly. The perfect keywords are like directing a designer — the clearer you are, the better the result.

Aisa karo:

  1. Imagine the picture in your mind.
  2. Break it down: subject + style + mood + colors + format.
  3. Put those into one single, intelligent prompt.

Bas, ho gaya kaam!
