AI Image Generator: Text to Image, Ready for a Video
This AI image generator makes a still from a sentence. Seedream 5 Flash at 2K is selected to start, and reference photos are optional. Leave the photo grid empty for text to image AI, and you see the credit cost before you confirm.

Seedream 5 FlashFrom a sentence to a file you can download
Write the subject, the light and the frame
Say what is in the picture, where the light comes from, and how tight the crop is. "A red fox in fresh snow, low angle, sunrise" is a complete brief. "Something cool" is not. Leave people out of the sentence when you do not want them. The field holds a normal prompt, not a list of secret weights.
Leave the grid empty, or add references
An empty grid is text to image. Drop photos in when the result should borrow a face, a product or a room. Every model on the panel can do both. The page still starts with no photo required, on Seedream 5 Flash, which renders at 2K and accepts up to 10 references if you decide to add them.
Confirm the quoted credits
The price shown is for the model and size you picked. Sign-up gives you 30 credits with a 30-day life, then 5 more on each rolling day. Those daily credits do not stack. Images need a free account, so guests are asked to sign up first. If a generation fails, the credits come back.
Prompts this page is built to take
Objects, places and illustrated scenes
Product shapes, food, weather, rooms and animals are the straightforward briefs. Name the material and the time of day. If lettering must not appear, say "no text". Models often invent signs when a street or a package is in the frame and you forgot to forbid writing.
A style, stated once
Pick one treatment and stop: photographic, gouache, pencil, or a quiet studio. Stacking five style names in one line makes the picture argue with itself. You can switch models and run the same sentence again. The second run is a new charge, priced again before you run it.
A reference, when the sentence is not enough
A bottle you sell, a chair you own, a sketch you made: put it in the grid and say what the new frame should do with it. That is an edit, and the image to image page is the longer explanation of that job. This page keeps the create path in front.
Seedream 5 Flash first, and the other five models beside it
ByteDance's Seedream 5 Flash is the opener because it is the text-to-image default for this page: one size, 2K, up to 10 reference photos if you add any. Seedream 5 Lite sits next to it, also at 2K, with room for more references. Neither Seedream model offers 4K on this site. If you need 4K, switch.
| Model | Sizes on the panel | Reference photos |
|---|---|---|
| Seedream 5 Flash | 2K | Up to 10. Selected by default. |
| Seedream 5 Lite | 2K | Up to 14. |
| GPT Image 2.5 | 1K, 2K, 4K | Up to 16. |
| Nano Banana 2 | 0.5K, 1K, 2K, 4K | Up to 9. |
| Nano Banana 2.1 | 1K, 2K, 4K | Up to 9. |
| Qwen Image 2.1 | 1K, 2K | Up to 10, and only 3 at 2K. |
The table lists sizes and photo limits. The price depends on the model and size you pick, and it is shown above the button before you generate. A free account can use all six models and cannot pass 2K. The 4K tier opens with a plan or a credit pack, and only on models that list 4K.
Nano Banana 2 and 2.1 have a locked page of their own if you want that family only.
Keep the still, or send it to video
Download the file from the result. A free download carries the corner mark and is for personal use. Images made while a plan or a pack is active are clean and carry a commercial license that stays with that file after the subscription ends. Retention matches the rest of the product: seven days on a free account, 180 days with paid access.
Animate this image pushes the still into the video generator as frame one. The image to video AI page is where motion, length and the video model are chosen, and that quote is separate.
You can also open animate a photo with the frame already sitting in the slot.
People who prefer to describe motion with no still at all use text to video AI.
Plans and credit packs are on the pricing page.
Questions about the AI image generator
What is an AI image generator?
On this site it is the panel above: a prompt, an optional set of reference photos, a model chip, a size and a ratio. Pressing the button spends the credits shown above it. The result is a still you can download or hand to the video tool. It is not a design suite, and it does not invent an account balance different from the one in the header.
What is text to image AI?
Text to image AI is the same panel with no reference photo. The sentence is the whole input. Add a photo and the job becomes an edit, using the same model. This page defaults to the empty-grid case and to Seedream 5 Flash. The image to image page defaults to an edit and to GPT Image 2.5.
Which model does the page open on, and can I change it?
Seedream 5 Flash at 2K is selected to start. The chips beside it are GPT Image 2.5, both Nano Banana versions, Seedream 5 Lite and Qwen Image 2.1. Changing the chip keeps your prompt. Size and ratio snap to what the new model allows, and a one-line note appears if something had to move. The quote refreshes.
Do I have to upload a photo?
No. Leave the grid empty. Upload only when the picture should follow something you already have. File types are the usual JPEG, PNG and WebP, each up to 10 MB. The count of files cannot pass the model's cap, which the grid prints next to the thumbnails.
Can a free account generate at 4K?
No. Free accounts stop at 2K on every image model, and the file is watermarked. 4K is present only on models that offer it, and only after a plan or a credit pack. Seedream 5 Flash and Seedream 5 Lite do not list 4K at all, so a paid account on those two still renders at 2K.
How many credits does one image cost?
It depends on the model and the size. Pick both, and the exact number appears above the button before you generate. Sign-up includes 30 credits that expire after 30 days, plus 5 a day that do not accumulate. A failed generation puts the spent credits back. The refund policy covers unused purchased credits inside seven days.
Can I animate the picture afterward?
Yes. The result offers Animate this image. That step copies the still into an upload and opens the video tool with the frame filled. Free accounts pass the watermarked still. Paid accounts pass the clean one. You then pick a video model and pay the video quote, which is unrelated to the image quote.
