Get started with the Hylope interface
Hylope is a workspace, not a chat: one layout for every mode, built for dragging images between gallery, inputs and results. Learn your way around it and create your first image.
Interface tour
The header, the app switcher, the Create layout, the lightbox and the Shelf.
Hylope keeps the same header in every app. The app switcher changes the tool you are using; the project and workspace selectors change which work you are looking at.
The header
From left to right:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| App switcher | Moves between Gallery, Create, Snippets, Nodes, Canvas, Compose and Share. |
| Shelf | A tray for the current project. See the Shelf below. |
| Project | The project you are working in. New results are saved to it. Choose All Projects to see everything. |
| Queue | How many jobs are running, out of the most your plan runs at once. |
| Credits | Your balance. Click it to open billing. |
| Workspace | Switches between your personal workspace and team workspaces. |
| Help & Support | Opens support, where you can write to the team. |
| Account menu | Account, Billing, Invoices, Team, API Tokens, Settings and News, plus the theme and log out. |
Settings is also where you choose the theme (Dark, Light or System) and the interface language.
Inside Create
Create is laid out the same way in every mode:
- Inputs, on the left: the slots the mode needs, such as a source image, references or a start frame. Drag in files, pick from the gallery, or load a key asset.
- Mode tabs, across the top: Image, Image Edit, Video, Video Edit, Upscale, Avatar, Swap, Previz, Music and Voice.
- The working area, in the center: your input and the results of the current run.
- The prompt bar, below it: the prompt, the output settings (ratio, size, count, seed) and Generate with its credit cost.
- Settings, on the right: the model card and the options that model supports.
- Recent results, along the bottom, with shortcuts to the full gallery (G) and your references.
The lightbox
Click any asset, in any app, to open it in the lightbox. It shows the asset large, with the prompt, the model, the settings, the snippets it used and the cost.
- ← → move between assets, Esc closes.
- L opens the lineage: everything this asset was made from, and what was made from it.
- V shows its variations, C compares it with another version.
- R reloads its settings into Create, so you can make a new version.
- Send to passes it to another mode, such as Image Edit, Video or Upscale. Quick Edit edits it in place: crop, adjust, draw, or change part of it with AI.
To look at an asset without opening anything, hover it and press Space for a quick look. Press P on a hovered asset to see its direct parents.
The Shelf
The Shelf holds assets you want to keep at hand while you move between apps, for the current project. Drop an asset on it from any gallery, then:
- drag it into an input slot in Create,
- compare two or more items side by side,
- make a collage from several images or videos in Compose,
- download everything on it at once.
