A professional design platform with parametric precision.

Answers to frequently asked questions.
A visualization platform built for professional designers. Describe what you're imagining in your own professional vocabulary — brushed brass, quarter-sawn oak, knife-back cushion — and IQ translates it into structured parameters and photorealistic images you can refine one element at a time, then match to real products. Describe. Generate. Refine. Match.
Start from words, a sketch, a moodboard, a client's room photo, or a manufacturer stock image. Swap fabrics and finishes, reconfigure furniture, restyle rooms, upgrade renders to photorealistic, build before/after pairs, and search for real products that match your intent. Browse the Workflow Library for production workflows — each one with the steps and example prompts that produced it. New workflows are added as designers build them.
Those tools will render a beautiful room from a good prompt — they know what "mid-century" means, and they'll take a hex value. The difference is what happens after the first image. Your image comes back as components you can edit. Change the fabric and the room holds. Change the finish and the form holds. Generic tools re-imagine the whole scene every time you ask for one adjustment. And it's built to leave the screen. Every version is saved, so you can resume any step — and when your client approves an image, Product Search looks for real products you can actually specify. Generic tools stop at the picture. IQ is built to carry the picture into a project.
Professional designers who already know their craft. If you think in materials, finishes, and specs, IQ makes that thinking visible — fast. It amplifies expertise; it doesn't substitute for it.

The characteristics that define a design — material, color, finish, form, scale, styling cues, context. They're the control points that let you change exactly what you mean to change, and nothing else.
A domain is a creative category with its own vocabulary — interiors, furniture, lighting, event design, and more. You don't need different strategies: describe your intent in your professional language and the engine handles the translation.
Any visual that guides your result — a sketch, product photo, fabric swatch, room photo, or moodboard. Yes, use one. It is the single highest-leverage habit on the platform: show, don't just tell.
Usually a parameter gap. If a detail matters, name it — the engine interprets prompts literally, so unstated intent is lost. Then use refinement to move one element at a time toward what you meant.
Complex multi-object scenes, unusual material pairings, and very specific proportions can strain any AI model. Also worth knowing: your image loses a little resolution each time it's refined. If that becomes noticeable, use undo, download your preferred reference image, and start a new creation from it.
No. Every image is original, generated in the moment from your inputs. Nothing is a photo of an existing product unless you put that product in.
Yes — design what you actually want to source, then search from that image using the Product Search icon beneath the undo and redo buttons. Naming a type of store, or a store by name, helps filter the results.
Yes. Some product lines and specifications may appear by name, and naming them moves you closer to real-world, orderable results from the first generation.
Trust but verify. Results are directionally right and presentation-ready, but not dimensionally certified — confirm final specifications before ordering or fabrication. IQ opens the sale; your spec tools close the build.
Yes — client presentations, proposals, listings, social, print. How you frame concept work with a client is your call (see Confidentiality & your work).
Upscale it in IQ. Every image in your gallery has Download Image with upscale options — 2× and 4× — alongside the original resolution. Pick your size and download.
Yes. Your imagery is yours. Your uploads and generations are visible to you and the teammates you share them with — not to other users, and never used as anyone else's source imagery.
Your call. Almost every tool a designer touches today has AI in it somewhere. What designers want is an actionable image in front of the client, and that is what IQ Design excels at. We think that's what counts. “AI makes it possible. You make it real.”
Yes. Organization accounts include a shared workspace and shared galleries — sharing moves work, it doesn't copy it — plus an individual seat for every designer, individualized training built around your team's real projects, and one-on-one monthly support with an IQ design expert. Ask us about organization onboarding.
IQ is built for them, not to replace them. The platform runs on professional vocabulary and judgment; without a designer driving, it's just a picture machine. With one, it's leverage.
IQ is built for workflow-driven design, not disposable content. Testing ideas earlier, evaluating alternatives faster, and making better-informed material decisions before anything is manufactured, shipped, or returned is a business practice that honors sustainability.
