Hotpot, 380-char style catalog, one PNG

Hotpot (hotpot.ai) is a consumer style-catalog art desk — a short prompt plus a named style — not Ideogram’s text-in-image lab (long edge up to 1536, 1:3 / 3:1), and not Google’s Vertex Imagen 4 stills (1K / 2K, up to four). Public /make-art: inputText max 380 characters, required styleId (they name Photo, Watercolor, Anime, 3D; custom is 0), one PNG per run. Optional seedImage with promptStrength 0.1–0.96. There is no 4K generate picker on that desk; /upscale-photo is a separate tool with sizeFactor 2 / 4 / 8 / 10. Lettering on a Hotpot still may need another attempt — they are not selling Ideogram’s text-in-image specialist. ImgToVid does not run Hotpot; the generator on this page drafts on GPT Image 2.5 Flare.

01 — Capabilities

A 380-char style catalog, not a 1536 text lab or a 1K/2K Vertex still

Public Hotpot pages sell a short prompt and a style from the catalog. They do not sell Ideogram’s 1536 long-edge text-in-image table, or Imagen’s 1K / 2K Vertex generate.

01
inputText max 380 characters; styleId required
Those files stay on Hotpot.
02
One PNG per /make-art run
This page does not open that desk.
03
4K is /upscale-photo, not generate
sizeFactor 2 / 4 / 8 / 10 is a separate Hotpot tool.
04
Not Ideogram’s 1536 text-in-image lab, not Google Imagen’s 1K/2K Vertex stills
Ideogram sells letters in the frame. Imagen is Google’s 1K / 2K Vertex still. Hotpot is the style-catalog desk. This site does not open Hotpot.

02 — Prompt to output

Prompts that match the stills above

Each prompt describes the picture on its card. “Use this prompt” sends that text to Create. The generator on this page runs GPT Image 2.5 Flare, not Hotpot.

01 · Portrait
PromptClose photographic portrait of a young man with curly hair wearing a grey knit sweater, soft window light, he glances aside and smiles warmly, shallow depth of field.
02 · Product
PromptA clean white leather sneaker on a pale grey seamless studio backdrop, soft diffused light, three-quarter view, crisp stitching, minimal commercial photograph.
03 · Street
PromptPhotographic view down a cobblestone lane in an old European village, climbing roses on stone walls, café tables in morning sun, a few people strolling in the distance.
04 · Character
PromptPhotograph of a young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in an olive t-shirt, golden late-afternoon light, she turns her head and looks into the distance, breeze in her hair.

03 — Where it fits

Jobs a style-catalog desk is selling

Public pages point at a 380-character prompt and a styleId. They do not sell an Ideogram lettering still, or an Imagen 1–4 Vertex batch.

One PNG from /make-art, Photo / Watercolor / Anime / 3D
That job is Hotpot’s generate table. This page does not open that job.
A seedImage with promptStrength 0.1–0.96, or a later /upscale-photo
Delivery stays on Hotpot.
An Ideogram 1536 lettering still, or a Google Imagen 1K/2K Vertex still
That is Ideogram or Google Imagen. Hotpot is the 380-char style catalog.
A draft still on ImgToVid
Write the still here. GPT Image 2.5 Flare carries the prompt into Create. Membership and credits are checked there.

05 — Side by side

Hotpot, Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.5

Hotpot is a 380-char style-catalog desk. Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.5 numbers below are from those vendors’ public docs on ImgToVid. A Hotpot upscale there is not a 4K generate row here.

	Hotpot	Nano Banana 2	GPT Image 2.5
Developer	Hotpot	Google	OpenAI
Top resolution	No 4K generate; /upscale-photo is separate	4K	4K
Reference images	Optional seedImage; required styleId	Up to 14	Up to 16
Images per run	1 PNG	1	1
Extreme frames	Style catalog desk; not a 1:3 / 9:16 table here	1:8 and 8:1	1:3 and 3:1
On ImgToVid	Coming soon	Available now	Available now

06 — How it works

Start a still on ImgToVid

Step 1
Describe one still
Subject, light, frame. Hotpot will not be the model that runs it.
Step 2
Use the generator on this page
It runs GPT Image 2.5 Flare, because Hotpot is not offered here. The prompt and the settings carry into Create.
Step 3
Generate in Create
Membership and credits are checked there. Coming back to this page does not switch the model over to Hotpot.

07 — FAQ

Hotpot, in plain terms

What is Hotpot?

Hotpot is a consumer style-catalog desk on hotpot.ai: a prompt up to 380 characters, a required styleId, one PNG. ImgToVid does not host Hotpot.

What resolution does Hotpot output?

/make-art does not publish a 4K generate picker. Upscale is a separate /upscale-photo with sizeFactor 2 / 4 / 8 / 10. That is not a Hotpot 4K picker here.

Does Hotpot render letters in the image?

Public copy admits lettering may need another attempt. Hotpot is the style catalog, not Ideogram’s text-in-image lab.

How many images per run?

/make-art returns one PNG. This site does not open that desk.

Can I generate Hotpot images on ImgToVid?

No. The generator on this page runs GPT Image 2.5 Flare so you can draft a still. Hotpot is marked coming soon.

Can I use the results commercially?

Commercial use of anything you generate on ImgToVid depends on your plan. Check Pricing and our Terms before you publish, and make sure prompts and uploads do not infringe someone else’s rights.
