-
Flexible aspect ratios Multiple options including 1:1, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9 and more to fit any use case.
-
Resolution control Choose output resolution (1k and above) based on your quality and speed requirements.
-
Batch generation Generate multiple variations in a single request for rapid iteration and comparison.

- Use the Prompt Enhancer to refine vague instructions into detailed edit commands.
- Generate multiple images (num_images > 1) to explore different interpretations of your edit.
- Higher quality source images yield better editing results.
- Use png format when you need lossless quality output.
Notes
- Both prompt and image are required fields.
