Breaking It Down:

Negative prompts tell the AI what NOT to include. Use them to avoid unwanted elements:

Common Negative Prompts:

• blurry, low quality, pixelated, deformed - For quality control
• text, watermark, signature, logo - Remove text elements
• duplicate, copy, multiple, two heads - Avoid duplication
• ugly, distorted, malformed, worst quality - General quality filters
