Control

Precise creative control

Pick the quality tier that fits the job. Low costs the fewest credits and is ideal for exploring; medium and high add detail when a result is worth it; xhigh and max exist for final art. You choose per generation, so you never overpay for a draft.

01

Quality you choose

Five tiers from low to max, priced per image so drafts stay cheap.

02

Instruction-based edits

Ask for a change and review the result; complex edits may need iteration.

03

Transparent backgrounds

Ask for transparency and get a usable cut-out, not a matte.
