Codia Studio
Overview
Codia Studio is Codia's AI design workspace. Use it when you want to generate new visuals, edit uploaded images, explore references, build a brand-aware creative direction, and finish work on an editable canvas.
Studio is broader than a one-shot image generator. A project can start from a prompt, screenshot, product photo, brand reference, inspiration image, or existing asset. From there, Studio keeps the prompt, references, generated artifacts, canvas edits, and session history together.

When To Use Studio
Use Studio when you need creative iteration: campaign visuals, social posts, product images, posters, ads, thumbnails, illustrations, slide covers, UI references, mockups, and brand exploration.
Use a dedicated Codia tool when the goal is narrower:
- Use Screenshot to Design when the main goal is editable Figma reconstruction.
- Use Design to Code when a finished design needs implementation code.
- Use Visual Struct or PDF to Visual Struct for API-oriented structured extraction.
- Use NoteSlide when a static slide deck or NotebookLM PDF should become an editable presentation.
Recommended First Workflow
- Open Studio.
- Choose the default Codia agent or a specialist designer.
- Describe the asset type, audience, channel, style, required text, and non-goals.
- Attach one or two references if they clarify style, layout, subject, or source material.
- Set ratio, output count, model, colors, and brand kit only when they matter.
- Generate options, then refine in chat or move the best result into the canvas.
- Review generated text, claims, prices, logos, and sensitive edits before publishing.
FAQ
Is Studio only for generating images?
No. Studio supports generation, reference-based editing, visual research, canvas finishing, file reuse, and session-based iteration.
Should I use chat or the canvas for revisions?
Use chat for conceptual changes, new directions, style changes, or AI edits. Use the canvas for precise placement, sizing, cropping, and manual finishing.
Can Studio use uploaded images?
Yes. You can attach images as references or source material. Pick the reference mode that matches the intent: edit the image, match its style, keep its layout, or preserve a character.
Does Studio replace review?
No. Review generated text, product claims, brand marks, prices, and rights-sensitive edits before publishing or handing work to a client.
