If you're using a tablet, the button position will depend on your resolution.

3. If you want to edit your photo, choose "Edit my pictures". If you want to generate a photo from scratch, select "Generate images". This article is about editing your photos, so we will choose the second option:

Now you can edit your photo with prompts or AI filters.
Let's see how we can edit with prompts first.
Enter what you want to change on a photo into the text box and click "Generate"

If you're satisfied with the result, click "Next" in the upper right corner. If not, you can enter more prompts or edit with AI filters.
Here's how to edit your photo with AI filters.
Go to the AI filters tab

Then select a filter you want to apply and click "Generate"

If you're satisfied with the result, click "Next" in the upper right corner. If not, you can enter more prompts or edit with AI filters. You can also download your result.
Now let's finish the post
Click "Next" in the upper right corner. Now you can add a caption to your Instagram post.
If you click "generate" while leaving it blank, Pygma will look at your picture and write an appropriate caption.
If you type something and then click "generate", Pygma will make a caption based on what you've typed.
You can also just type what you want to be in the caption yourself, edit the generation result, or just leave it blank.

When you're satisfied with your caption, click "Next" in the upper right corner.
Now you can check what your post looks like. You can save it to your Pygma dashboard or schedule and publish it directly to Instagram if you've linked your Instagram to Pygma.
