An instruction that tells an AI what to avoid in a generated image.
A negative prompt is an instruction that tells the model what you do not want in the image, such as extra limbs, text, blur, or a particular color or object.
Used alongside the main prompt, negative prompts help clean up results by steering the model away from common artifacts and unwanted details. They shape what to avoid, while the main prompt describes what to include.
Things you want to exclude, like artifacts, extra fingers, watermarks, clutter, or specific unwanted objects and styles.
Many do, though the exact controls vary. Some tools handle unwanted elements automatically.
