    Artifact Image Library: Organize and Manage Your AI-Generated Images

    This feature is currently available to all Artifact users on Web and Android/iOS.

    All images you create with Artifact are automatically saved to your Library, giving you a single place to browse, revisit, and reuse your work without having to sift through past conversations.

    What is the Artifact Image Library?

    The Artifact Image Library is your centralized hub for all AI-generated images. Every image you create with Artifact is automatically organized and stored, making it easy to:

    • Browse your entire collection of generated images
    • Quickly find and reuse previous creations
    • Edit existing images with new prompts
    • Share your favorite creations
    • Download images for external use

    Accessing the Library

    You can access your Library by selecting the Library section on the left-hand sidebar on Web and mobile.

    The Library enables you to see all of your images in one place, and you can quickly return to creating images by pressing the Make Image button.

    Managing Your Images

    Viewing and Interacting with Images

    Press and hold an image to open the menu, then choose Copy, Edit, Save, or Share.

    Edit Image

    Edit enables the option to provide a prompt with your desired edit in the conversation panel. If you instead click on the image instead of pressing Edit, you will be brought to the image editing screen.

    This powerful editing feature allows you to:

    • Modify existing images with new prompts
    • Refine details and aesthetics
    • Experiment with different styles
    • Create variations of successful designs

    Copy, Save or Share image

    • Copy: Copy the image to your clipboard, enabling you to paste it elsewhere
    • Save: Download the image to your device in high quality
    • Share: Send it directly to another app or platform

    Organizing Your Creative Work

    The Image Library automatically organizes your images chronologically, but you can also:

    • Search through your images using keywords
    • Filter by creation date
    • Browse by conversation thread
    • Quickly identify your most successful prompts

    How to delete an image from your Library

    To delete an image from the Library, delete the conversation where the image was created.

    On web: Hover over the conversation title in the sidebar, click the three dots (...), then select Delete from the menu.

    On mobile: Press and hold the conversation title, then tap Delete in the pop-up menu.

    Why aren't all of my images showing up in the Library?

    Only images created with modern Artifact Image Generation will show up in the Library. Legacy images may not appear but can still be found in their original conversations.

    Best Practices for Image Library Management

    1. Use descriptive prompts - This makes searching easier later
    2. Regular cleanup - Delete conversations with images you no longer need
    3. Export important images - Download key creations for backup
    4. Experiment with edits - Use the edit feature to refine your best images
    5. Organize by projects - Keep related images in themed conversations
