The system then automatically converts these images into Process Models, eliminating the need for manual creation and reducing the potential for inaccuracies. > [!TIP] > [**Plan Availability:**](https://www.processmaker.com/products/pricing/) ![Enterprise](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/Enterprise.png) The feature significantly reduces the time required to recreate a process map manually, thus providing tangible evidence of its effectiveness. **Features & Benefits:** - **Upload an existing image:** You can easily upload an existing image of a process map. - **Take a new photo:** Capture a photo of a process map directly from your device. - **Scan a QR code from the screen:** Use a QR code to streamline the process of uploading an image. - **AI image analysis:** The system employs AI image analysis to automatically recreate the map inside a new Process Model, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Create from Image simplifies process model creation, enhances the design experience, and empowers designers to excel in a dynamic business landscape. ## Generate a Process from an Image **Permissions** Your user account or group membership must have the following permissions to create a new Process unless your user account has the **Make this user a Super Admin** setting selected: - Processes: Create Processes - Processes: View Processes See the [Processes](/v1/docs/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups#processes) permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance. > [!NOTE] > The image-to-process features supports a maximum file size of 15MB. ### Create a Process from Images on Mobile Devices Watch the following product tour to learn how scan a QR code from your phone, upload an image, and create a process from that image.
