How It Works

Master the Art of Prompt Engineering

PromptAnvil is a powerful visual editor for creating complex, structured prompts. Here is how to turn your ideas into production-ready prompts.

1. Categories & Descriptors

Organize your prompt elements into categories (e.g., "Lighting", "Camera", "Style"). Fill them with descriptors to build your vocabulary.

2. Weighted Randomness

Not all descriptors are created equal. Use sliders to adjust the probability of each item appearing in your generated prompts.

3. Logic & Rules

Create smart dependencies. "If 'Cyberpunk' style is selected, ALWAYS add 'Neon Lights' but NEVER add 'Rustic'."

1

Define Your Toolkit & Template

Start by defining the components of your idea in the Categories panel. Fill each Category (like habitats or camera_equipment) with the specific terms (Entries) you want to include in your prompts.

Then, structure your output using the Prompt Template editor. Place the Categories (like {lighting_conditions}) into the template where they should appear in the final prompt.

Example: "A {Style} portrait of a {Subject} in {lighting_conditions}"

Refine Probabilities & Logic

Head to the Settings tab to control how often each Category appears or to adjust Template weights. Then, use the Logic tab to create smart rules that govern relationships between elements.

  • Set "Lighting" to 50% to only include it in half the prompts.
  • Create a rule: "If {Style} is 'Cyberpunk', ALWAYS add 'Neon Lights'".

Generate & Export

Click the Generate button to create a batch of unique prompts based on your configuration. Review them, copy the ones you like, or export the entire batch to JSON/TXT for use in other tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

PromptAnvil is a powerful visual editor for creating complex, structured prompts for AI image generators like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E. It helps you organize prompt elements into categories, apply weighted randomization, and create smart logic rules.
Categories organize your prompt elements (e.g., 'Lighting', 'Camera', 'Style'). Each category contains descriptors - the specific terms you want to include in your prompts. You can use templates with placeholders like {lighting_conditions} to structure your output.
Weighted randomness lets you control how often each descriptor appears in generated prompts. Use sliders to adjust the probability of each item - higher weight means more frequent appearance in your prompts.
Logic rules create smart dependencies between prompt elements. For example: 'If Cyberpunk style is selected, ALWAYS add Neon Lights but NEVER add Rustic'. This prevents impossible combinations and ensures consistency.
Yes! You can generate batches of unique prompts, review them, copy individual ones, or export the entire batch to JSON or TXT format for use in other tools and workflows.
Yes! PromptAnvil includes AI Assist features: Polish Mode refines your prompts with AI, Generate Entries automatically creates descriptor values, and the system can optimize prompts for different AI models like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E.
