How to make an AI image in AIGE
- Open the studio or the Canvas and pick a model in the image menu (Nano 2 is the everyday default).
- Write what you want to see. To edit a photo, attach it and say what to change; to keep a face, pick your saved character.
- Choose the size: 1K for posts, 2K or 4K for print and big screens.
- Check the credit cost shown next to Generate, then run it. An image that fails gives its credits back.
- Keep editing by attaching the result to the next prompt, lay it out in the Atelier, or animate it with a video model.
Make your first image
Type a line or add a photo, pick the model, and see the credit cost before you press Generate. Save a character first and the face stays the same.

What it is best at
Choosing per image
Every model is in one menu with its price, so a draft can be 1 credit and the final a 4K render, without switching tools.
The same person everywhere
A saved character goes in as the reference, so a feed, a campaign or a comic keeps one face.
Editing what you have
Attach your photo and describe the change: background, outfit, light, style.
Images that become videos
Every image lands on the Canvas board, where you can animate it with Kling, Veo or Seedance.
What it can't do
- No logo generation; upload your logo to the brand kit and use it in designs.
- Small text inside an image can still come out wrong; GPT Image 2 is the best bet for it, and you should check before publishing.
- Results vary with the same prompt; generate a few and keep the best.
- No free images: every generation is paid in credits.
AI image generator: questions people ask
What is the best AI image generator?
It depends on the image. Nano Banana 2 is a strong everyday choice for photos and edits, Nano Banana Pro for Google's Pro model and 4K, GPT Image 2 for text inside images, and Recraft for design styles. AIGE puts all of them in one picker so you can run the same prompt on two and keep the better one.
Is there a free AI image generator?
Not in AIGE: images are paid in credits, from 1 credit on GPT Image 2's low setting, with plans from $8.55 a month. Planning a week of content is free.
How much does an AI image cost in AIGE?
From 1 credit (GPT Image 2, low, 1K) to 48 credits (Nano Banana 2 at 4K). A 1K Nano Banana 2 image costs 8 credits, and the exact cost shows before you run.
Can I keep the same face across AI images?
Yes. Save a character from a few photos and pick it before you generate; it goes in as the reference for every image, on any of the image models.
Can I use AIGE's image generator from ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. AIGE runs an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and n8n can generate images with your characters and credits.
