Step-by-step Card Generation

The wizard is a simplified generation mode where you make a minimum of decisions. Four steps: style → photos → details → result. Each step has one key decision.

Advanced users have an advanced mode (toggle at the top) — all settings on one screen. This article covers the step-by-step flow.

Step 1. Style

The main question — how will the card look? Three options:

• Ready-made template — pick from the library (categories: "catalogue photo", "scene", "flatlay", "infographic" and more). Fastest, most predictable result.
• Reference — upload an example image, AI copies its style (lighting, palette, composition). What exactly to copy is controlled by toggles.
• Custom prompt — describe the style in text ("neon gradient", "minimalism on white"). Most flexible but needs clear wording.

The "Next" button at the bottom stays disabled until you pick a style.

Step 2. Photos

Here you choose which product photos to use. Limit: 1 to 6 depending on the template (most templates take one "main" photo).

Click a photo to select, click again to deselect. The first selected photo is the "main" one. If the product has only one photo, this step is skipped automatically.

To upload new photos — "Add photo" button on the same step.

Step 3. Details

Here you define what text goes on the card and which features to show:

• Headline — three optional lines: an overline (small top), a main headline (large) and a subheading (small bottom). Any line can stay empty. AI has already suggested a variant from the product analysis; keep or rewrite.
• Features — checkboxes. Tick the ones that should appear on the card. Optimal — 1-5 items. More becomes clutter.
• Custom instructions — free-form prompt. "Blue gradient background", "add packaging next to product", "vertical format", etc. The field grows to fit your text — type 10 lines, no inner scrollbar. The "AI will suggest" button next to it auto-fills the field.
• Quality — "fast" (flash, 2 credits) or "quality" (pro, 3 credits). Flash for drafts, pro for finals.
• Advanced settings — collapsed block at the bottom. Fine-grained knobs: headline size (auto/large/small), style preset (auto or 9 moods), format (3:4 marketplace default / 1:1 / 4:3), bullet styling (plates and icons). See the Advanced mode article — same accordion appears in the wizard too.

At the bottom — "Create (N credits)" button. Tapping it deducts credits and starts generation.

Step 4. Result

Generation takes 15-45 seconds depending on quality and current load. After that — your card.

Three actions available:

1. Download — full-resolution PNG.
2. Create again — regenerate with the same settings. AI gives a different result, same credits (handy if you just want another try).
3. Refine with text — the main editing tool. Describe the change in words: "brighter background", "remove the bottom text", "move the logo left", "make the headline bigger". AI tweaks the image. 2 credits per attempt.

All editing is text-driven: Sozdai has no canvas editor where you drag layers with the mouse, by design. Routine edits go through AI.

If you don't like the result

Nothing is locked in forever. If the card's not what you wanted — hit "Create again" or use refine. The AI prompt adapts to your requests.

Returning to the product card

At the top-left of the product page there's a back-arrow button. Inside the generator it reads «← Back to product» — click it to return to the photos + analysis view without losing progress. Wizard state (current step, photos, headline, instructions) is preserved — when you come back via «Create infographic», you land where you left off.

The final Step 4 has a separate «Done, back to product» button. Unlike the arrow, it resets wizard state — your next entry starts at Step 1 with a clean slate. Use it when you want to create the next card with different settings.
