### **What are Quick Actions?**

**Quick Actions** are a set of one-click tools that allow you to modify your images instantly, right from your gallery. No need to open a separate editor or start a new project; simply hover over any image to reveal a shortcut menu designed to streamline your creative process. Each of these actions is tailored for different creative needs:

* **Animate**: Add motion effects to your image.
* **Variate**: Generate multiple variations of the same image to explore different options.
* **Edit**: Use textual prompts to modify the image directly.
* **Upscale**: Enhance the resolution and clarity of your image, producing a higher-quality output with sharper details and finer textures.

These actions allow you to work quickly and efficiently, streamlining your creative process.
