Main Capabilities
- Text to Image: Enter a text description to generate an image directly, suitable for creative ideation and content creation.
- Image to Image: After uploading a reference photo, follow instructions to change the style, swap objects, change the background, or reimagine the scene while preserving the subject.
- Image Model Selection:
- Z-Image Turbo (Alibaba): Generates in about 5–10 seconds, with the lowest cost, suitable for rapid ideation and high-frequency output.
- GPT Image 2 (OpenAI): Highest quality, divided into three tiers: Low (about 40-second draft), Medium (about 1.5 minutes), and High (3–4 minutes, professional grade), excelling at complex compositions and text rendering within images.
- Nano Banana 2 (Google): Strong instruction-following ability, skilled at understanding natural language commands and maintaining subject consistency during editing.
- Seedream 4.5 (ByteDance): Realistic style, fixed per-image pricing, supports multiple image references, suitable for product images, food photography, and lifestyle scenes.

- Video Generation: MiniMax H3 supports text-to-video and image-to-video, with generated audio tracks; H3 Turbo focuses on speed and cost, while H3 Max focuses on higher fidelity, up to 1080p.
- Aspect Ratios and Formats: Supports 1:1 square, 3:2/2:3, 4:3/3:4, 16:9/9:16 and other ratios, and exports JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Specific ratio support varies by model.
- Watermark-Free and Commercial Use: Generated images are watermark-free, require no attribution, and can be used for personal and commercial projects; the platform states that it will not use user prompts, uploaded content, or generated images to train AI models.
- Refunds for Failures: Due to platform errors or upstream modelIf generation fails due to a fault, credits are automatically refunded; generations blocked due to content policy are not refunded.
