# WWDC26: Create high quality images using Image Playground | Apple

**[Apple Developer](https://daily.dev/sources/appledeveloper)** · 14 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Apple's WWDC26 session introduces the updated ImagePlayground framework, which now uses powerful server-side models on Private Cloud Compute to generate high-quality, photorealistic images in virtually any style. The ImageCreator API is deprecated in favor of a new sheet-based API. Developers can integrate image generation with a single SwiftUI view modifier (.imagePlaygroundSheet), seed it with text concepts, images, or PencilKit drawings, and configure size, aspect ratio, style presets, and personalization options. The framework handles usage limits, privacy, and UI automatically. A UIKit/AppKit equivalent (ImagePlaygroundViewController) is also available. Availability is checked via the supportsImageGeneration environment value, enabling graceful fallbacks on unsupported devices.
