Your ultimate guide to using Higgsfield Canvas to the fullest - right here.
Our team has spent hundreds of hours behind the scenes: stress-testing generations, tuning model behavior, and obsessing over every case to make Higgsfield avatars look as real, expressive, and cinematic as possible. Their insights come from real experimentation, across lighting, framing, motion presets, masking and more. Every tip below is based on hands-on validation.
Canvas works even without typing a prompt. Just press spacebar after masking. But you can also guide the model with a simple instruction like "place the can into the hand."
The size of the mask you draw directly affects how big the object appears. If you're adding a perfume bottle into a hand, make sure the mask matches the actual size of the bottle — not the whole hand. Oversized masks lead to oversized objects.
If the object you're adding would naturally cast a shadow, include the shadow area in your mask. For example, when adding a hat, mask not just the hat’s shape but also the part of the forehead where the shadow would fall. This makes the result more realistic.
If the original image shows a person holding something — say, a Coke can — and you want to replace it with a Red Bull can, mask only the can itself, not the fingers. This ensures a clean, size-accurate replacement. If you're switching to a completely different object like a phone, then mask the whole hand — but don’t overdo it. Bigger masks lead to size mismatches.
Canvas may struggle with micro-details or very fine text. Try to avoid inserting products that rely on small labels or tiny print. Glasses, for instance, are tricky — if needed, describe them clearly in the prompt for better accuracy.
