# Managing Generated Images

All generated images are automatically saved in two places — the generation workspace for immediate access, and **Dashboard → History** for full library management across all sessions and workspaces.

***

#### Viewing and Downloading from the Workspace

Once generation is complete, your images appear directly in the workspace. From here you can:

* **View** the full image
* **Download** — saves the image in PNG format to your device
* **Share** — generates a shareable link
* **Edit** — opens the image directly in an editing tool:
  * Inpainting
  * Upscaling
  * Background Removal
  * Image Variation
* **Convert to Video** — redirects to the Video Generation workspace using the image as a starting frame input

***

#### Accessing Your Full Image History

All generated images are saved to **Dashboard → History** automatically. This is your central library for all past generations across all sessions and workspaces.

**To access:**

1. Go to the **left navigation panel**
2. Click [**History**](https://www.qolaba.ai/history)
3. Select the **Image filter** at the top to display only image outputs

#### Filtering and Finding Images

| Filter               | What It Does                                                                       |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Image filter**     | Shows only generated images, separated from videos and audio                       |
| **Workspace filter** | Displays images generated within a specific workspace                              |
| **Me Mode**          | Shows only images generated by you, filtering out other workspace members' outputs |

#### What You Can Do from History

Click any image in History to view its full details — the prompt used, model selected, quality setting, and generation date. From here you can:

1. **Favourite / Unfavourite** Mark important outputs for quick access. Favourited images are easy to locate when managing large generation histories.
2. **Copy Prompt** Retrieve the exact prompt, keywords, and configuration used for that generation. Use this to iterate on a previous output — paste it back into the workspace, adjust what needs changing, and regenerate without rebuilding from scratch.
3. **Download** Save the image to your device in PNG format.
4. **Copy Shareable Link** Generate a direct link to the image for sharing with teammates or clients. Shareable links work regardless of session visibility setting — a Private session image can still be shared via a direct link.
5. **Set Visibility** Toggle the image between **Public** and **Private** after generation. Use this to correct a visibility setting from the original session or change access as a project progresses.

* **Public** — image appears in the Qolaba community gallery and is discoverable by all users
* **Private** — image is only accessible via your History and any direct shareable links you have distributed

6. **Share on Socials** Publish the image directly to connected social platforms without downloading and re-uploading manually.
7. **Delete** Permanently removes the image from History. This action cannot be undone.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deleting an image from History also invalidates any previously shared links to that image. If the image has been shared with a client or teammate, notify them before deleting.
{% endhint %}

#### Iterating from History

**Copy Prompt** is the most efficient way to iterate on a previous generation. It retrieves the full configuration — prompt, keywords, model, and quality — so you can:

* Pick up exactly where a previous session left off
* Make incremental refinements to a prompt without rewriting it
* Apply a previously validated prompt to a different model or quality setting
* Share a prompt configuration with a teammate for consistent output across a team

{% hint style="info" %}
Build a library of high-performing prompts by favouriting your best generations and using Copy Prompt to retrieve and refine them over time. This is especially valuable for brand asset generation where consistent prompt structure produces consistent visual output.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Converting Images to Video

Any generated image can be used as a starting frame for video generation. Click **Convert to Video** on any image in the workspace or History to open the Video Generation workspace with that image pre-loaded as the initial frame input.

This is useful for:

* Animating a confirmed brand visual or product image
* Creating a video version of a social media creative
* Building motion content from a static concept image without starting the video generation workflow from scratch

See [Video Generation →](/getting-started/introduction.md) for full details on the video generation workflow.
