Make and edit pictures
Make a picture
You can make a picture right in the chat, and change it afterwards by saying what you want different. Describe what you want, as plainly or as carefully as you like.
- In a chat, tap + beside the box.
- Tap Create image.
- Describe the picture and send it.
You can also skip the menu and ask in the box. Nourva draws when you ask it to.

What you see while it is made
A picture takes a moment, and the chat shows where Nourva is with it. Four steps appear in turn: Read, Plan, Paint and Detail. Nourva reads what you asked, plans the picture, paints it, then adds the finishing detail. When you are changing a picture you already have, the first step reads Study instead of Read.
If a reply is still being written when you tap Edit, Nourva asks you to wait for it to finish. Tap Edit again afterwards.
What you can do with a picture
Under every picture you will find four actions.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Save | Opens your phone's share sheet, where you can choose to save the picture. |
| Copy | Copies the picture, so you can paste it into another app. |
| Share | Sends the picture to a person or an app through the share sheet. |
| Edit | Attaches the picture to a new message so you can ask for a change. |
If Copy doesn't work on your device, Nourva tells you and suggests Share.
Change a picture
- Tap Edit under the picture.
- The picture is attached to your message and the box starts with Change this picture:.

Look closely in the viewer
Tap a picture to open it full screen in the picture viewer.
- Pinch, or double-tap, to zoom in. Drag the picture to move around when you are zoomed.
- Drag down to close, or tap the close button at the top.
- If the chat holds more than one picture, use the Next picture and Previous picture arrows to move between them. The count, such as 2 of 3, shows at the top.
- Save, Share, Copy and Edit sit at the bottom of the viewer too.
Save what you want to keep
Pictures you make in chat are kept only for a limited time. After that, the picture is gone and the chat tells you it is no longer available. Save the ones you want to keep.
You can always ask Nourva to make a picture again, but it will be a new one, not the same picture back.
Limits and credits
A picture is more than a basic chat, so it uses credits. A basic chat is a text message with no search, thinking, file, picture or voice.
- Starter: pictures run on credits Nourva gives you. If you have none, Nourva shows Needs credits and your free basic chats keep working.
- Professional, Ultimate and Max: in the app, a message with a picture that falls inside your free chats for the day costs only the difference over a basic chat.
- Without an account: you can chat only, so pictures are not available.
There is also an hourly limit on pictures. The app tells you when you reach it. Try again in a while.
To see your free chats left today, open Settings › Subscription & usage and look under Today. For how credits are used and bought, see How credits work.
