How-to guides, reference tables and troubleshooting for Viko: the steps, boundaries and credit cost of every action, from install to batch creation.
00Getting started
- Install the extension and sign inInstall the Viko extension from the Chrome Web Store, sign in and receive your trial credits.
- Your first creation in ten minutesStart from a reference image on any web page — reverse the prompt (1 credit), generate a new image (6 credits each), then keep the results in your collections.
- Viko's two surfacesThe extension captures inspiration on the pages you browse; the web studio combines, batch-generates and manages assets. Both share one account.
01Browser extension
- Start actions with the floating ball and context menuWhen the floating ball appears, which images it works on, what the context menu offers, and how to hide the ball on a site.
- Reading the image breakdownThe breakdown is part of every reverse — a structured, per-image-type view of what makes the image work. No extra credits.
- Reverse a prompt (1 credit)Turn a reference image into a generation-ready natural-language prompt — pick a precision, enable variants, edit before generating.
- Generate on the current page (6 credits per image)Keep browsing while you create — pick a model and aspect ratio, the task runs in the cloud and survives closed tabs.
- Carry a color mood with palettes (0 credits)With palette mode on, reverses also return a palette; referencing a palette at generation time carries the color mood without copying the image.
- Reproduce a pose with pose reference (6 credits)With pose reference mode on, generation analyses the reference's pose and constrains pose, position and weight — nothing else.
- Capture text from web pages (0 credits)Select a phrase on any page and save it to your keyword book from the context menu, source included.
- Extension settings referenceEvery setting explained — account, floating ball, Viko Cloud models and output, Eagle and interface language, plus how defaults interact with per-task switches.
02Creative studio
- Studio tourWhat the create, collections and history areas each do, how the studio relates to the extension, and where a batch creation starts.
- Combine keyword cards on the brainstorm deck (0 credits)Draw random keyword cards from your own collections along five axes — style, subject, composition, color, motion — lock the keepers and redraw the rest.
- Compose and batch-generateCards form the skeleton, prompt text fills the scene, parameters set the scale — one workbench for composing, credit prechecks and batch submission.
- Reference a palette in the studio (0 credits)Bring one palette from your palette book into the composer — it carries the color mood, leaves subject and composition alone, and applies to the whole batch.
- Reveal a pack of finished worksBatch results arrive sealed in a pack — reveal on your schedule, flip cards one by one or all at once, archive the keepers.
- Handle partial completion, failures and recoveryBatches are allowed to complete partially — reveal the finished works first, then complete the failed images; their credits were already refunded.
03Assets & history
- Manage the keyword bookEvery card saved from breakdowns and text captures lives here — search by content, category and source, send cards to the tray, undo deletions.
- Manage the prompt bookKeep full prompts that proved effective — saved from task details, searchable by model and source, ready to copy or reuse in the composer.
- Manage your worksOnly genuinely finished, deliberately saved results enter the works library — each keeps its link to the prompt, model, aspect ratio and source task.
- Manage the palette bookAll saved palettes in one place — rename, search, and reference them in your next generation from either surface, all at 0 credits.
- Filter your historyNarrow down with two filter layers — state and task type; running tasks keep syncing across refreshes; automatic records follow a retention policy, deliberate saves are never touched.
- Read task details and compare with the sourceA task keeps the full context from reference to result — prompt, breakdown, palette, source and settings — with side-by-side comparison.
- Bulk download and bulk saveEnter selection mode in History to download many results at once or save them to Eagle in bulk, with success and failure counts reported.
04Credits & plans
- Credit price listWhat each action costs, common combo totals, and the reserve-settle-refund mechanics.
- Plan comparison and limitsCredits, concurrency, batch size and queue priority for every plan, converted into a monthly creative capacity, plus booster pack rules.
- Credit granting, spending order and expiryMonthly credits do not roll over, yearly plans grant monthly, booster packs last 12 months — and the fixed order when several credit types coexist.
- Manage your subscription — upgrades, cancellation and refundsUpgrades apply immediately with prorated charges, downgrades at the next period, cancel any time with benefits until period end; refunds follow the terms of service.

06Reference & troubleshooting
- Task states dictionaryWhat each task state means, what the system is doing, what you can do, and how credits are handled in every state.
- TroubleshootingDiagnose by symptom — floating ball, tasks not starting, stuck tasks, failure types, credit refunds, sessions and the Eagle connection.
- Data & privacy boundariesWhen Viko processes your content, what is stored, what it never does, and how to delete data. The privacy policy is the authoritative text.
- FAQShort answers to the questions we hear most — copyright and commercial use, platform support, languages, and how Viko differs from chat tools.
