Organising Your Creations on NightCafe

Organising Your Creations

Keep your gallery tidy and find any creation in seconds.

Every creation you make is saved to My Creations, your personal library. As your gallery grows, NightCafe gives you several ways to keep it organised — views, filters and search to find things, collections and tags to group them, and select mode for acting on many creations at once.

Your creations library

Open My Creations from the header menu to see everything you've made. You can also reach it as the Creations tab inside the Studio while you create.

Switch between List, Gallery and Masonry views using the icons in the toolbar — pick whichever layout suits how you like to browse. Your choice is remembered for next time.

Finding creations quickly

The toolbar has tools to narrow down what you see:

  • Filter — show only creations that match a condition, such as those In collection, Tagged, made with a particular model or template, Published, Unpublished, Videos, Not in a collection, or Archived.
  • From — jump to creations made on or before a particular date, instead of scrolling.
  • Search — search the text of your own creations, including prompts, titles and tags. Searching your own creations is a PRO feature; everyone can still search public art.

Grouping with collections

Collections are like albums or boards for grouping related creations. Keep them private just for your own organisation, or make them public to share a curated set on your profile. A creation can live in as many collections as you like.

You can add creations to a collection when you create them, from a single creation's menu, or in bulk with select mode. For the full guide, see Collections on NightCafe.

Tagging your creations

Tags are short keywords you attach to a creation to describe it — for example landscape, portrait or cyberpunk. They make your own gallery easy to filter, and on published creations they also help other people discover your work.

To add tags, open a creation and choose Edit Creation, then type into the Tags field. A few rules apply:

  • Up to 5 tags per creation.
  • Tags are lowercase, must start with a letter, and can contain letters, numbers and hyphens.
  • Each tag is between 3 and 20 characters long.

Press Enter, Tab or comma to add each tag. Once tagged, click a tag on any creation — or use the Filter menu's Tagged option — to see everything with that tag. You can also tag many creations at once with Set tags in select mode (see below).

Selecting multiple creations

Select mode lets you act on lots of creations together. Turn it on with the folder icon in the toolbar (or Select Creations from the ⋮ menu), then tick the creations you want. With a selection made, you can:

  • Set collections — add them to, or remove them from, collections
  • Set tags — tag or untag them all at once
  • Download, Archive / Unarchive, or Delete them

You can select up to 50 creations at a time. For more, see Selecting Multiple Creations (Bulk Actions).

Archiving vs deleting

Archiving hides a creation from your main gallery without removing it — great for tidying away work you don't want to see every day but aren't ready to part with. Archived creations stay in your account and can be found again with the Archived or Everything filter, then unarchived at any time.

Deleting permanently removes a creation and can't be undone. If you're not sure, archive instead of delete.

Downloading in bulk

Want to save a tidy set to your device? Once you've filtered or selected the creations you want, you can download them together. See Bulk Downloading Your Creations for the two ways to do it.
