# Try it in the web app

> Create your first image or video in the browser without installing a client

You can generate images and videos directly in aibal.ai. Start with one image to complete the full workflow: prepare your account, select a Key, and save the result.

## Before you start

Use a modern browser with access to [aibal.ai](https://aibal.ai/). You need a signed-in account, available balance or quota, and an API Key that supports the target model. Web usage may incur charges; this is not a promise of a free trial.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Register and sign in">
    Existing users can [sign in](https://aibal.ai/login). New users should follow [Register an account](/en/register) before opening the console.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your balance">
    Check the available balance in the console. If needed, follow [Top up your account](/en/recharge) to use USDT or a redemption code. Available methods and credited amounts follow the current page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prepare an API Key">
    Follow [Create an API Key](/en/create-api-key), choose a recognizable name, and select a group that supports image generation. Select the Key in the web page; do not paste it into your prompt.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Image Studio">
    Open [Image Studio](https://aibal.ai/image-studio) and select your **API Key**. Keep automatic size and quality, one image, and PNG format. Do not add a reference.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a prompt and generate">
    Enter “An orange kitten by a sunny window, watercolor illustration, no text” and click **Generate**. Keep the page open while the request runs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the image and review usage">
    Click **Preview** and **Download** on the completed result. Open [usage records](https://aibal.ai/usage) to review the call. Save your image before refreshing or leaving Image Studio.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You should now have an image saved locally. To adjust the subject, style, or references, read [Text to image (web and API)](/en/text-to-image).

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does web generation require an API Key?

The studio submits requests using your selected Key. Its status, group, quota, and model permissions affect the result; signing in does not replace these requirements.

### Why can't I generate even with a balance?

Check whether the Key is active, within quota, and in a group that supports the model. Follow the specific error message instead of repeatedly clicking Generate.

### Can I close the page and come back?

Image results belong to the current page session, so download them first. Submitted videos are available under **History**; closing the page does not cancel generation. If the connection drops or the status is uncertain, check tasks and usage before retrying.

### Can I use a phone?

Use the same website in your mobile browser. Tap **Generation settings** or **Video settings** to expand collapsed controls. Download and save behavior depends on your browser.
