# Assets

> The gateway to controlling your generations. 

NEX comes built with Asset storage. In this section, we will go over how to upload your own assets and begin your controllable image generation journey.

<Tip>
  Upload **images** that are as **high res** as possible and have the least amount of blurriness.
</Tip>

#### 1. In the Artboard, click on “Assets” in the left action bar
