Get started with Aura, the AI agent in Picsart

Updated

Aura is an AI agent in Picsart. You chat with Aura and tell it what you want to create. Aura can make and edit images, videos and audio for you. This article helps you start with Aura.

Aura is in Beta. It is not available in all versions of Picsart, and it is not available to everyone yet.

What can Aura do?

  • Images: Create images, remove or replace a background, enhance a photo and change its style.
  • Videos: Make short videos from text or from an image, and change the size of a video for social media.
  • Audio: Create voice-overs, music and sound effects.

For a large project, Aura can ask other Picsart AI agents to help. You see all the steps in the same chat.

Where do I find Aura?

On the Picsart website, some users see an AI Agent button (a chat bubble) at the top of the create screen in AI Playground. If you do not see the button, Aura is not available for your account yet.

In the Picsart app, some versions show AI agents in the Apps tab. The app does not show Aura in all versions and regions.

How do I use Aura?

  1. Open Aura. Select the AI Agent button on the create screen.
  2. Tell Aura what you want. Type your request in the chat box. Describe the result, the style and the size.
  3. Add your files, if you want. Attach photos or videos from your device or from Picsart Drive. You can also drag them into the chat.
  4. Check the plan. For some requests, Aura shows a plan first. Read it, then approve it to start.
  5. Get your results. Your results are saved to the board that you work on. When you close the chat, Aura keeps it, so you can continue later.

Tips for better results

  • Aura uses the name of an attached photo, not what the photo shows. Describe the important details of your photo in your message.
  • Give one clear request at a time. Then ask for changes.

Does Aura use credits?

Yes. Aura uses credits when it creates or edits an image, a video or audio. The cost depends on what Aura makes. Chat messages that do not create anything do not use credits. To learn more, read What are credits and how do they work?

If a generation fails, your credits come back to your balance automatically.

What to do if it does not work

  • You do not see Aura: Aura is in Beta and is not available to everyone yet. Make sure that you are signed in to your Picsart account.
  • The result does not match your photo: Describe the photo in your message, then try again.
  • Aura used more credits than you expected: Please contact us. We are happy to check it for you.
