Select by task

Text-to-image generation: Choose a model in the workspace and describe the subject, setting and style. Try the same prompt with another model to explore a different look.

Reference-image generation: Choose a model that supports reference images, upload your photo and describe what to keep or change.

Image editing: Choose a model with editing support, then select Continue editing on your image to change its background, lighting or composition.

Output settings

Choose an aspect ratio for where the image will appear: square for a product tile, portrait for a poster, or landscape for a banner. Available size and quality options appear after you select a model.

If you need a specific final size, check the downloaded file dimensions. You can keep exploring with a smaller image before choosing a larger output for the version you like.

Check the cost before generating

The Generate button shows the Credit cost for your selected model and settings. Review it before submitting; changing the resolution, quality or image count may change the cost.

Once your image is ready, download it or continue editing. Each submitted edit creates a new version and has its own displayed Credit cost.
