Copy & Use

Step 1 — Upload

Upload any JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF image up to 10 MB. Drag-and-drop or select from your gallery.

Step 2 — Analysis

AI identifies objects, people, scenes, colors, composition, and contextual elements at multiple detail levels.

Step 3 — Generation

A comprehensive description is generated covering subject, setting, mood, colors, and notable artistic elements.

Step 4 — Copy & Use

Review, edit if needed, then copy the description directly into your project, CMS, or social media post.

Description Types

Describe can produce three output styles depending on your audience and use case:

Type	Length	Best For	Example Focus
Basic	1–2 sentences	Alt text, quick captions	Main subject and setting
Detailed	3–5 sentences	Social media, blog posts	Colors, mood, atmosphere, composition
Technical	1–2 paragraphs	Photography metadata, SEO	Aperture, lighting, focal technique, color temperature

Choosing the Right Type

Use Basic for WCAG-compliant alt text on web pages. Choose Detailed when writing social captions or blog introductions. Switch to Technical for stock photo metadata or professional SEO descriptions.

AI Capabilities

Object Recognition

Identifies objects, people, animals, vehicles, and environmental elements with high accuracy.

Color Analysis

Analyzes dominant colors, color relationships, and tonal qualities throughout the image.

Composition Analysis

Describes framing, rule of thirds, leading lines, lighting, and depth of field techniques.

Emotional Context

Identifies mood, atmosphere, and the emotional tone conveyed by the image as a whole.

Scene Understanding

Recognizes locations, environments, and contextual settings to ground the description in place.

Text Recognition

Identifies and transcribes visible text including signs, labels, and written content within the image.

Best Practices

Image Quality Tips

Use high resolution images — more detail leads to more accurate descriptions
Ensure good lighting — well-lit images provide better color and texture analysis
Clear subject matter — images with a defined main subject generate more focused descriptions
Avoid heavy compression — JPEG artifacts reduce analysis quality
