Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText description of the desired image
aspect_ratioNoAspect ratio: 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, 8:1

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 2K (default) 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.

  • 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.

Notes

  • Prompt is the only required field.
  • If aspect_ratio is not selected, the model uses a default ratio.
  • 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.
resolutionstringNo2k2k, 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.
output_formatstringNopngpng, jpegThe format of the output image.
enable_sync_modebooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models.
enable_base64_outputbooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN.
