Example Prompts
- “A portrait of a young artist with colorful paint splashes across their face, wearing eccentric bohemian clothing, surrounded by abstract graffiti, vibrant tones, high-contrast artistic photo”
- “Mystical forest spirit with glowing antlers, ethereal mist, bioluminescent flora, fantasy art style”
- “Retro-futuristic cityscape at dusk, flying cars, neon advertisements, synthwave color palette”
- “Elegant koi fish swimming through cherry blossom petals, traditional Japanese art meets modern digital painting”
- “Steampunk inventor in her workshop, brass gears, warm candlelight, detailed Victorian aesthetic”
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Emphasize artistic style keywords — “vibrant”, “high-contrast”, “stylized”, “artistic” enhance the model’s strengths.
- Describe color palettes explicitly for more controlled outputs.
- Use the Prompt Enhancer to add artistic details you might not have considered.
- For portraits, include details about expression, lighting, and background atmosphere.
- Square dimensions (1024x1024) work well for balanced compositions; adjust for specific formats.
- Use PNG format when you need higher quality or potential transparency.
Notes
- Generation time may vary based on resolution and current queue load.
- Higher resolutions may take slightly longer to process.
- The model excels at artistic and stylized imagery — lean into creative, expressive prompts.

Task Submission Parameters
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | The positive prompt for the generation. | |
| size | string | No | 1024*1024 | - | The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height). |
| seed | integer | No | -1 | - | The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used. |
| output_format | string | No | jpeg | jpeg, png, webp | The format of the output image. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | 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. |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | 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. |
