Q & A
What is AI image generation?
AI image generation uses neural networks (typically diffusion models) to create images from text prompts, reference images, or other inputs. The AI learns from millions of images to produce new, original visuals.
What types of images can AI generate?
AI can generate virtually any type of image: photographs, illustrations, 3D renders, anime, paintings, architectural visualizations, product mockups, and more.
How long does image generation take?
On WaveSpeed, most models generate an image in 2-5 seconds. Batch processing via API can produce hundreds of images per minute.
Can I control the composition of generated images?
Yes. ControlNet lets you specify exact compositions using edge maps, depth maps, and pose references. You can also use image-to-image for guided generation.
Are AI-generated images royalty-free?
Images generated on WaveSpeed are yours to use commercially. Check individual model licenses for specific open-source model terms.
