Overview

Specs

Pricing

Use this when

  • You’re producing image variations at volume (A/B testing visuals, batch generation).
  • Unit cost matters more than maximum fidelity.
  • You want a sub-cent default for prototypes and stock-style assets.

Pick something else when

  • You need design-quality output (lighting, composition) → recraft-v4 (#1 HF Arena).
  • You need typography in the image → ideogram-v3 (text-in-image specialist).
  • You need photoreal hero shots with multi-reference → flux-2-pro (BFL flagship).

Example

The endpoint is async — POST returns 202 with a job_id; poll GET /v1/jobs/{id} until status is succeeded.
