How it works

About the Text to Image API

How text-to-image works

Send a prompt with an aspect ratio and size; you get image URLs back. Ask for several images in one request where the model supports it.

What drives the price

Output size and, for some models, a quality level. Larger images and higher quality cost more per image.
