How to Use

  1. Write your prompt — describe the image in detail, including style, lighting, and composition.
  2. Choose aspect ratio (optional) — select a preset or leave empty for default.
  3. Select resolution — choose 1K, 2K, or 4K based on your needs.
  4. Choose output format — PNG for transparency support, JPEG for smaller file size.
  5. Use Prompt Enhancer (optional) — click to automatically refine your description.
  6. Run — submit and download your generated image.

Best Use Cases

  • Cinematic Imagery — Generate atmospheric scenes with anamorphic lens effects and film-like quality.
  • Character Portraits — Create detailed character illustrations with specific attributes.
  • Social Media Content — Produce eye-catching visuals for various platforms with flexible aspect ratios.
  • Marketing & Ads — Generate professional images for campaigns and promotions.
  • Concept Art — Visualize creative ideas with photorealistic rendering.

Pro Tips

  • Use cinematic language like “anamorphic lens look,” “neon signs reflected in puddles,” or “rainy Tokyo street at night” for atmospheric results.
  • Be specific about character attributes (hair color, clothing, accessories) for consistent results.
  • Match aspect ratio to your target platform: 9:16 for Stories/Reels, 16:9 for banners, 1:1 for feeds.
  • Try the Prompt Enhancer to automatically improve your descriptions.
  • 2K outputs are charged at 1.5× the standard rate; 4K at 2× the standard rate.

Notes

  • Prompt is the only required field.
  • If aspect_ratio is not selected, the model uses a default ratio.
  • 2K resolution costs 1.5× and 4K resolution costs 2× the standard rate.
  • Ensure your prompts comply with Google’s Safety Guidelines.

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
promptstringYes-The positive prompt for the generation.
aspect_ratiostringNo-1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9, 1:4, 4:1, 1:8, 8:1The aspect ratio of the generated media.
resolutionstringNo1k0.5k, 1k, 2k, 4kThe resolution of the output image.
enable_web_searchbooleanNofalse-If enabled, the model will use web search to enhance the generation with real-time information.
enable_image_searchbooleanNofalse-If enabled, the model will use image search to enhance the generation with real-time information.
output_formatstringNopngpng, jpegThe format of the output image.
enable_sync_modebooleanNofalse-If set to true, the function will wait for the result to be generated and uploaded before returning the response. It allows you to get the result directly in the response. This property is only available through the API. Due to variability in Google’s underlying compute resources, inference times can fluctuate significantly. As a result, synchronous requests may hit timeouts.
enable_base64_outputbooleanNofalse-If enabled, the output will be encoded into a BASE64 string instead of a URL. This property is only available through the API.
