AI Image Generator
The AI Image Generator makes and edits images from a text prompt, with 20 AI models in one place. Use it for thumbnails, product shots, social posts, logos, posters and edits of your own photos. You pick the model, the frame and the quality, and the button shows the price before you start.
Is it free? A free account can make Z-Image images for a fixed 3 credits each, paid with daily check-in credits, with no daily limit. Every other model costs 1 to 6 credits per image after any purchase.
What you can make
- YouTube thumbnails, blog covers and banners in wide frames up to 21:9.
- Vertical images for TikTok, Reels and Stories in 9:16.
- Product photos and lifestyle shots from a reference image of your product.
- Edits of your own photo: change the background, the style, the light or one object.
- Posters, quote cards and logos with readable text. Ideogram V3 is strong at text in images.
- Stills for your videos. You can pick images from your AI image history inside the AI Video Templates.

Tips for better results
- Start with a cheap model like Nano Banana (Fast) or Seedream 5.0 Flash to test a prompt for 1 credit. Switch to a stronger model when the idea works.
- Write the subject first, then the setting, the style, the light and the camera angle.
- For text in an image, put the exact words in quotes and use Ideogram V3.
- To keep a product or a face the same across images, add a clear reference photo with a plain background.
- Pick the aspect ratio for where the image will go: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Stories, 4:5 for feed posts.
- Need a bigger or sharper file? Use the free image tools to upscale or sharpen in your browser.
FAQ
Can I use the images commercially?
You keep all rights to the content you upload. You can use the images you create, subject to the terms of service and the usage policy of the model you chose. Read privacy, rights and safe use for the details.
What happens if an image fails?
The credits return to your balance automatically. You do not need to contact support.
Why can my free account only use Z-Image?
Free credits pay for Z-Image images, video template renders and Code to Video renders only. Any purchase opens all 20 models. Invite credits also pay for any model.
What if I do not like the result?
Change the prompt, add a reference image or try another model. Each new image costs the price shown on the button, so test ideas with a 1-credit model first.
Where do I find my old images?
Your latest images show in the history strip. Every image is saved in My Works, where you can download, share or delete it. See your works, sharing and billing.
How large can my reference images be?
Each reference image can be JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB. Each model accepts its own number of references, from none up to 16. The table above lists the limit for each model.
