What kind of images can DesignDash create?
DesignDash specializes in generating high-quality visuals for e-commerce, including standard product shots (e.g., on white backgrounds), lifestyle images showing products in context, and visuals formatted for marketing materials or social media. Our AI is optimized for creating realistic and brand-aligned results for physical products.
Can I use my own brand assets (logo, colors)?
Yes! Our platform is designed for seamless brand integration. You can input your brand guidelines (logos, color palettes, specific styles), and the AI will incorporate them into the generated visuals for consistent branding.
What resolution and format are the generated images?
Images can be generated at high resolution suitable for typical e-commerce and marketing use cases (e.g., website listings, social media, small print). Standard formats like JPEG and PNG are supported.
Is there a limit to how many images I can generate?
Yes, usage limits depend on your chosen plan. Our Free tier includes 5 free credits per day, while paid tiers offer significantly higher monthly allowances. Enterprise plans have custom volume options.
What does the DAM (Digital Asset Management) dashboard do?
The DAM dashboard is coming soon, and it will provide a central place to view, organize, search, and manage all the visual assets you create with DesignDash. It also displays the associated C2PA authenticity information and the status/link for the corresponding ownership NFT on the Firmachain blockchain.
Can I protect images I *didn't* create with DesignDash?
Currently, our core focus and strongest protection applies to images generated *within* the DesignDash platform, as we embed C2PA and mint the NFT simultaneously with creation. While the underlying IP protection technology *could* potentially be applied to external images in the future, this is not part of the primary workflow at this time.
What are the Licensing features?
We plan to introduce an NFT Licensing Module. This will allow you to use the platform to define specific usage rights (like duration, territory, usage type) for your DesignDash-generated visuals and securely grant those licenses to third parties (e.g., distributors, retailers) directly through the platform, leveraging the NFT and potentially smart contracts on Firmachain.
How do I get started with DesignDash?
Simply sign up for a free account! You can immediately start exploring the platform and generate a limited number of visuals. The process involves providing some basic product information/images and your brand guidelines, then letting the AI work its magic.
How does the AI generation process work? What input do I need?
You provide inputs like existing product photos (if available), text descriptions of the product and desired scene, background choices, and your brand assets (logos, colors). Our AI uses this information to generate relevant, high-quality visual options for you to choose from.
How do I ensure the visuals match my brand?
During setup or per-project, you input your brand guidelines (logo files, specific color codes, font preferences, general style descriptions). Our AI is designed to adhere to these guidelines to maintain consistency across your visuals.
How do I access and use my protected images?
All your generated and protected images are available in your dashboard. You can download high-resolution versions directly from the dashboard for use on your website, social media, or marketing materials. The embedded C2PA data travels with the standard image file formats.
How can I verify the ownership or authenticity of a DesignDash image?
Within your dashboard, you'll have easy access to the C2PA credential information and a direct link to view the ownership NFT on the Firmachain block explorer. We are also exploring tools (like website badges or browser extensions) to make verification easier for third parties in the future.
What AI technology does DesignDash use?
We utilize state-of-the-art generative AI models (including advanced diffusion and related techniques) specifically optimized and fine-tuned for producing high-fidelity, commercially relevant product visuals that adhere to brand guidelines.
What is C2PA and why is it important?
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is an open standard for providing verifiable information about the origin and history of digital content. We embed C2PA credentials into images at creation to serve as a tamper-evident "digital nutrition label," proving the image was generated by our platform for your account at a specific time, enhancing trust and authenticity.
What is an NFT in this context? Do I need crypto knowledge?
The NFT (Non-Fungible Token) we mint on the Firmachain blockchain acts as a unique, publicly verifiable digital certificate of **ownership** for your specific visual asset. It's linked to the image and its C2PA data. **No crypto knowledge is required** – our platform handles the entire minting and management process seamlessly for you.
What blockchain do you use (Firmachain) and why?
We use Firmachain, a blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK. We chose it for its focus on data integrity, verifiable records, efficiency, and potential for future integration with smart contracts for features like licensing, making it well-suited for managing digital IP assets reliably.
How does the NFT prove ownership legally?
While an NFT is distinct from formal copyright registration with a government office, it serves as powerful, immutable **evidence** supporting your ownership claim. It provides a timestamped, publicly verifiable record showing when the asset was registered under your control on the blockchain, linked directly to its C2PA provenance data. This significantly strengthens your position in IP disputes.
Is using DesignDash complicated with all this technology?
Not at all! Our platform is designed with an intuitive UI to **abstract away the complexity**. You interact with simple visual generation tools and asset management dashboards, while the C2PA embedding, NFT minting, and blockchain interactions happen automatically and seamlessly in the background.
What are credits?
Credits are used when generating AI images with DesignDash. 1 credit is consumed each time you click the Generate button and receive a set of generated images (up to 4 images). In other words, the credit is deducted for a batch of images produced in a single generation session, not for each individual image within that batch.
How many credits do I get?
For the Free plan: You get 5 credits every day. Unused credits do not carry over to the next day. For the Pro plan: You receive 400 credits when you purchase the plan. • The credits reset to 400 on your billing date each month. Unused credits do not carry over to the next month.
