Gen-Image uses AI models, mostly diffusion models, to create high-quality images and videos from a text prompt or from one of your images. Whether you're looking for creative artwork, unique designs, or just exploring what AI can do, you can create and customise visuals in a few clicks.

Generations run on powerful GPUs so you get results quickly. Whether you're an artist, a designer, or just curious, Gen-Image is a place to create, edit and share.

Generating an image with a diffusion process starts with random noise, like a blurry or messy image. The model gradually refines this noise through a series of steps, learning to reverse the noise and bring out details. Each step reduces the randomness, adding more structure and clarity, until a fully formed, high-quality image emerges. Essentially, it's a process of turning chaos into order, guided by what the model learned during training.

The diffusion process is computationally intensive because it involves a lot of complex calculations to gradually refine the noise into a clear image. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are designed to handle these heavy tasks efficiently, especially when working with large amounts of data or performing many steps quickly. The more detailed and higher-quality the image you want, the more GPU power is needed to generate it.

Every generation uses credits. You receive credits every day, and once they're used up you can wait until the next day, buy extra credits, or earn some by taking simple actions on Gen-Image.

Your balance is shown in the credits pill at the top of the page.

Daily credits are added to your account automatically every day and reset at midnight UTC.

How many you get depends on your account:

• Free account: a daily allowance of free credits
• Premium: more credits every day, depending on the plan. See plans

Extra credits come on top of your daily credits and never expire. They are only used once your daily credits are gone. You can buy them, or earn them with these actions:
