  • ImageOpen weights

    Qwen-Image-2.1

    Qwen-Image-2.1 generates and edits images with one set of downloadable weights, including transparent PNGs and edits with several reference images. It is worth evaluating for local creative workflows if you can manage GPU memory and setup. The weights use the Qwen Research License; commercial use needs a separate license.

  • ImageOpen source

    Ming-Image-0.1-Design

    Ming-Image-0.1-Design is inclusionAI’s open-weight image model for posters, interfaces, dashboards and infographics. Its MIT-licensed release produces complete compositions and can save transparent RGBA images. The 6B label describes the image transformer; deployment also loads an encoder, connector and VAE. Choose the complete pipeline and a measured workload when budgeting GPU time.

  • ImageHosted API

    Nano Banana 2.1

    Nano Banana 2.1 generates and edits images through Google’s Gemini API. Standard image output costs $0.0336 at 1K, $0.0504 at 2K and $0.1134 at 4K, plus input, text/thinking and any billable search. Use it for product variations, text-heavy designs and edits that keep a subject consistent across turns. The stable API model is gemini-nano-banana-2.1.

  • ImageHosted API

    Seedream 5 Flash

    Seedream 5 Flash is ByteDance’s hosted image-generation and editing model for quick visual iterations. It supports 1K, 1.5K and 2K images, up to ten reference images and layered output. BytePlus lists $0.018 per output image; Volcengine lists ¥0.12. Choose the model ID and billing route for your account before estimating a batch.

    FLUX 3 Image Klein

    FLUX 3 Image Klein is Black Forest Labs’ open-weight image generator and editor, released October 15, 2026. Use its hosted API for a quick start at $0.009 per 1K image, or choose a local ComfyUI or Diffusers workflow. The 5.6B figure counts the image transformer; the Qwen3-VL-4B text encoder and VAE are additional components.

  • ImageOpen weights

    MOSS-Image

    MOSS-Image offers Base and SFT checkpoints for text rendering and controllable layouts. Try them through MOSI’s limited-time zero-credit API, or budget the complete local pipeline and every attempt needed to produce an accepted image.

  • ImageOpen weights

    Iris-3B and Turbo

    Iris-3B generates images directly in pixel space with a 3B diffusion transformer and a separate frozen 4B Qwen3-VL text encoder. Choose Base for adjustable sampling, or the official four-step Turbo checkpoint for a fixed fast sampling path. Both are downloadable under Apache 2.0; plan memory for the complete pipeline rather than just the image-model file.

  • ImageOpen weights

    Krea 2 RAW / Turbo

    Krea 2 is a text-to-image family built around a 12B diffusion transformer. RAW is the undistilled checkpoint for adaptation and LoRA training; Turbo is the eight-step option for generation. Both have downloadable weights under the Krea 2 Community License, which limits commercial use by company revenue. Choose the checkpoint, complete runtime and access route before estimating an image budget.

  • ImageHosted API

    Krea 3

    Krea 3 is a hosted image editing model for changing product scenes, materials and campaign variants. It accepts up to six reference images per edit and supports native 2K output. Start with an existing image and a specific change.

  • ImageOpen weights

    Fibo 2.0

    Fibo 2.0 is Bria’s image generation and editing family. Dev handles both tasks with adjustable sampling; Edit Turbo is a four-step editing checkpoint. Use the hosted services for a first trial, or download the weights for a local non-commercial workflow. Commercial self-hosting requires an agreement with Bria.

    Ideogram Vector 1.0

    Ideogram Vector 1.0 creates native SVG artwork from text and converts existing images into vector shapes. It is useful for logos, icons and illustrations you need to resize or recolor in a vector editor. Access is hosted through Ideogram and API providers; there are no downloadable model weights for a local GPU workflow.
