Describe your flyer in plain words
Write a short sentence that tells Meta AI what you want. Be clear about the event, the date, the time, the place, and the main image you want. If you're not sure what to write, use the example above and change the details.

Ask for a specific style
Add one or two words to set the style. Use words like "bright", "simple", "fun", "modern", or "cartoon". This helps Meta AI pick colors and shapes that look good together. If you're not sure, try "bright and simple".

Add visual text elements (if supported)
Meta AI can sometimes include text in generated images, but results vary — the AI may not always render letters clearly. For best results, describe what you want the text to look like rather than exact words, or plan to add text later in a design app.

Mistake: The flyer looks blurry or stretched. Fix: Ask Meta AI to "keep the image square" or "use a high-resolution style" in your prompt.
Mistake: The text is too small or hard to read. Fix: Say "large bold text" or "big readable letters" in your prompt before you generate the image.
Mistake: The colors don't match your event. Fix: Add "in [your color] and bright colors" to your prompt, for example "in green and bright colors".
Mistake: Text doesn't appear clearly in the generated image. Fix: Use a free design tool like Canva to add text on top of the generated image for clean, readable results.
