Introducing Z-Image-Turbo Image-to-Image LoRA on WaveSpeedAI

The world of AI image transformation just got significantly more powerful—and faster. We’re excited to announce Z-Image-Turbo Image-to-Image LoRA, a versatile model that combines lightning-fast image transformation with the creative flexibility of up to three custom LoRA adapters. Whether you’re enhancing existing images, transferring artistic styles, or maintaining character consistency across projects, this model delivers professional results in sub-second time.

What is Z-Image-Turbo Image-to-Image LoRA?

Z-Image-Turbo Image-to-Image LoRA is a 6 billion parameter image generation model built on the Scalable Single-Stream DiT (S3-DiT) architecture. Unlike traditional diffusion models that require 50+ steps, Z-Image-Turbo achieves comparable quality in just 8 function evaluations—making it one of the fastest production-ready image transformers available today.

What sets this model apart is its full LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) support. LoRAs are lightweight, modular weight sets that adapt the base model toward specific aesthetics, characters, or styles without requiring full model retraining. By supporting up to three simultaneous LoRAs, Z-Image-Turbo gives you unprecedented control over your image transformations while maintaining its signature speed.

This isn’t a simple editing tool—it’s a complete generation engine that merges reference image guidance with custom style control.

Key Features

• Sub-second generation: Transform images in 0.8-1.2 seconds, enabling real-time workflows and rapid iteration
• Triple LoRA support: Apply up to 3 custom LoRA adapters simultaneously for character, style, and brand consistency
• Flexible transformation spectrum: Control output intensity from subtle enhancement to dramatic reimagination with a single strength parameter
• Quality enhancement mode: At low strength values (0.0-0.3), improve image quality while applying subtle LoRA styles
• Creative reimagination mode: At high strength values (0.8-1.0), let LoRA styles dominate for complete visual transformation
• Bilingual text rendering: Generate English and Chinese text directly within images while maintaining speed
• Built-in prompt enhancer: Automatically improve your prompts for better results
• Simple flat-rate pricing: $0.01 per image regardless of size, strength, or LoRA count

Understanding the Strength Parameter

The strength parameter is your primary control for balancing the original image against LoRA influence:

Strength	Effect	Best For
0.0 - 0.3	Minimal change—enhances quality with subtle LoRA hints	Upscaling, quality improvement
0.3 - 0.6	Moderate change—preserves structure while blending styles	Style fusion, character consistency
0.6 - 0.8	Significant change—maintains composition with strong LoRA influence	Style transfer, artistic reinterpretation
0.8 - 1.0	Maximum change—LoRA styles dominate completely	Full transformation, creative reimagination

Real-World Use Cases

Character Transformation

Apply character LoRAs to transform subjects while preserving their original pose, composition, and context. Perfect for creating consistent character appearances across different scenes or adapting existing photos to match a specific aesthetic.

Brand Consistency

Marketing teams can use custom brand LoRAs to transform any image to match corporate visual guidelines. Upload product photos, team portraits, or campaign images and instantly align them with your established brand identity.

Style Transfer with Precision

Unlike traditional style transfer that applies effects uniformly, Z-Image-Turbo lets you control exactly how much style influence you want. Blend multiple art style LoRAs at different scales to create unique hybrid aesthetics.

Quality Enhancement with Style

At low strength settings, the model excels at improving image quality—sharpening details, enhancing resolution, and adding subtle stylistic touches without dramatically altering the original composition.

Artistic Reinterpretation

Creative professionals can combine multiple LoRAs to explore entirely new visual directions. Transform photographs into illustrations, apply vintage film aesthetics, or merge multiple artistic influences into something entirely original.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Getting started with Z-Image-Turbo Image-to-Image LoRA on WaveSpeedAI takes just minutes:

import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "wavespeed-ai/z-image-turbo/image-to-image-lora",
    {
        "prompt": "A portrait in vibrant watercolor style",
        "image": "https://example.com/your-image.jpg",
        "strength": 0.6,
        "loras": [
            {"path": "https://your-lora-url.safetensors", "scale": 1.0}
        ]
    },
)

print(output["outputs"][0])

Key parameters:

• prompt: Text description guiding the transformation
• image: Your source image (URL or upload)
• strength: Transformation intensity from 0 to 1 (default: 0.6)
• loras: Array of up to 3 LoRA adapters with path and optional scale

For best results, start with a strength of 0.5-0.6 to find the right balance between your original image and LoRA influence. If your LoRA uses trigger words, include them in your prompt for optimal style activation.
