What Is Auto-Detected

When you generate with Pikaso, Lazer extracts:

• Prompt - From main prompt textarea
• Negative Prompt - From negative prompt field (if used)
• Style - From style preset selector (e.g., "Photorealistic", "Anime")
• Aspect Ratio - From size/ratio buttons (1:1, 16:9, etc.)
• Model - From model selector (if visible)
• Image Count - Number of images to generate
• Output URL - Image src from result grid
• Thumbnail - Same as output URL

Detection Quality

• Prompt extraction: High - Dedicated prompt textarea
• Settings extraction: High - Most settings visible and consistent
• Output extraction: High - Reliable image URL detection

Capture Workflow

Standard Workflow

1. Open Freepik Pikaso
2. Enter your prompt in the text area
3. Optionally add negative prompt
4. Choose style preset (e.g., "3D Render", "Watercolor")

Multiple Images

Pikaso can generate 2-4 images per prompt:

1. After generation, grid shows multiple variants
2. Click "Refresh Detection" for each image
3. Extension cycles through detected outputs
4. Click "Auto Fill" for first image
5. Save capture
6. Refresh detection again
7. Auto fill next image
8. Repeat for all variants

Style Iterations

To iterate on a style:

1. Capture first generation
2. Change style preset (keep prompt same)
3. Generate again
4. Capture new variant
5. Compare styles in web app

Capture Tips

Best Practices

• Use negative prompts - Helps refine output quality
• Try style presets - Freepik has excellent preset quality
• Note aspect ratios - Important for shot planning
• Tag by style - Use tags like "photorealistic", "anime" for filtering

Common Issues

Multiple images detected:

• Pikaso generates 2-4 variants per prompt
• Capture each individually
• Use "Refresh Detection" to cycle through

Style not captured:

• Style preset is captured in metadata
• Manually note style in tags if needed

Negative prompt ignored:

• Ensure negative prompt field is filled before generating
• Detector specifically looks for this field
