Use [Cherry Studio](/en/client-integrations/cherry-studio) to generate an image without writing API requests. Create an Infistar key in Token Management, add an OpenAI-compatible provider, and configure the API host and key.

## Select an image model

Check [Models and pricing](https://infistar.ai/pricing) for a currently available image-generation model. Copy its exact ID into Cherry Studio, save and enable it. A text-only model will not produce an image merely because the prompt asks for one.

## Describe and generate

Choose the saved model in the image-generation view. Describe the subject, scene, lighting and style, for example:

> A small cat reading by a window on a rainy day, soft natural light, warm illustration style.

Check the model and applicable price before sending. Wait for the response rather than repeatedly sending the prompt. When the image appears, use its download control to save it. Change the description for another result.

## Troubleshooting

If the provider is missing, check that it is enabled. If the model is missing, confirm its exact ID was saved and enabled. Authentication errors require checking the key; insufficient credit requires checking Wallet. For generation failures, confirm the model is currently available before trying again.

Developers can use [Image generation and editing](/en/api-reference/image-generation) directly.
