How do I create my first generation?
Open the Image Generator, type a description, and generate. Your first image costs as little as 2 credits.
The Image Generator is the fastest place to start, and the cheapest place to learn what prompts do.
- 1Go to the Image Generator from the sidebar under Generate Image.
- 2Type a description in the prompt box — be specific about subject, setting, lighting and style.
- 3Leave the model on Nano Banana 2, the default. It costs 10 credits at 1K and is the best all-rounder.
- 4Click the gear icon in the prompt card if you want to change the aspect ratio, resolution or number of images.
- 5Check the credit cost shown on the generate button, then generate.
Results appear on the page within about 10 to 60 seconds and are saved automatically to your Library, so you never need to download something immediately to keep it.
Want to spend less while you experiment?
Switch the model to Z Image. At 2 credits per image it is the cheapest model on the platform and still produces convincingly realistic photos, which makes it ideal for learning how prompt wording changes a result. With your 100 welcome credits that is 50 images to play with.
Then try video
Video works the same way but is priced per second rather than per generation, so cost scales with duration. Seedance 1.5 Lite at 5 credits per second is the cheapest way to try it — a 3 second clip is 15 credits.
