Highlights

Near-perfect text rendering — Generates readable text inside images including signage, UI labels, handwritten notes, and posters. Supports Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Latin scripts with correct spelling and consistent spacing.

Extreme prompt adherence — Follows complex multi-part instructions faithfully. Composition, lighting, material properties, and fine-grained details described in long prompts are preserved without drift.

Neutral, accurate color — Eliminates the warm color cast present in earlier models. Colors render true-to-intent across all scene types, critical for brand assets and product photography.

Flexible resolution up to 4K — Supports preset sizes and custom dimensions. Both edges must be multiples of 16, max single edge 3840px, total pixels between 655K and 8.3M.

Pricing

Low	$0.015	$0.03
