Questions, answered

What the site does and how it is paid for.

Is dxlaps-ai free?

Yes. Every tool, reference and guide is free to use, and there is no account to create. The site is supported by advertising.

Does the Prompt Builder send my prompt anywhere?

No. The builder runs in your browser. Your text is not sent to this site. Your last draft is kept in your browser so it is there when you come back.

Which AI models do the prompts work with?

The vocabulary is standard film and photography language, so it works with most text-to-video and text-to-image models. Models differ, so test a phrase on the one you use.

Should I use the text prompt or the JSON prompt?

Use text for models with a single prompt box. Use JSON for models and pipelines that accept structured prompts, or when you want dialogue, audio and things to avoid kept in separate fields.

Can I use the prompts in commercial work?

Yes. Copy and use them freely, without credit. You are responsible for following the terms of the AI service you generate with.

Does this site generate images or video?

No. It helps you write the prompt. You paste it into the AI model or app you already use.
