Text to image: generate a still from a sentence

Describe a picture and generate a still. The model list is priced from the Kie catalog, and the button shows the credits before the run.

Model

This model does not take a reference image.

Size

2 credits

Outputs

Write a prompt.

Copper kettle on a pale oak table, a still from a sentence
A copper kettle on a pale oak table, soft daylight. This example does not fill the upload.

A sentence is the whole input

Text to image starts from words and returns a still. There is no source photograph. That is why it is a different control from image to image. The button shows the credits before the run.

The credit number is the model's

Every model on this page has a public price in the catalog. The button shows the credits for the tier you selected. It does not add a resolution the model does not list.

An edit is a different page

Image to image takes a photo you upload and charges the credits printed on that button. Image to video does the same for a clip. Both show the cost before they run.

Packs do not unlock a hidden mode

A monthly plan, a yearly plan, or a credit pack adds credits. Those credits pay for models that already have a price. A failed edit on those models returns its credits.

Where it fits

No file

A new still

The picture starts from the sentence. There is nothing to upload.

One frame

The shape you pick

The still uses the aspect ratio on the controls.

Priced first

See the cost

Switching models updates the credits on the button.

Another line

Run again

A second sentence is a new run, billed on its own.

What text to image does

Text to image means a still that begins as words, with no source photograph. You write the picture, pick a model, and the button shows the credits for the size and resolution you selected.

A photo you already have belongs on image to image. This page does not turn the still into a clip. A failed run returns the credits it spent.

Why the price is on the button

The generate button prints the credits for the model and the settings that change its Kie price. Change the resolution, the quality, or the number of outputs, and the number changes before anything is sent. A failed run returns those credits.

How this page behaves today

Write the picture. Pick a model. Where that model has a size, a quality, or a resolution, those controls appear and the credit number changes with them. A reference image appears only when the model accepts one. Generate spends the credits printed on the button. A failed run returns them.

  1. 1

    Write the sentence

    Name the subject, the light, and what should stay out.

  2. 2

    Choose a model

    Each still model shows its own credit cost.

  3. 3

    Set the frame

    Pick the aspect ratio the model lists.

  4. 4

    Generate

    The result is a still. A clip is a different page.

For anyone who searched for a prompt-only still

A prompt-only still is a different product from an edit. The models on this page already have a public price, and the button shows the credits for the tier you selected. A failed run returns that spend.

If you already have the picture, use image to image. The models, the ratios, and the credit numbers are on that form. Monthly credits last a month, yearly credits last a year, and a credit pack does not expire. A new account receives 4 credits once.

Questions

Can a text-to-image still start with no photo?

Yes. The sentence is enough. Nano Banana, Flux 3 Klein, GPT Image 2, Imagen 4 Fast, Seedream 3, and Ideogram V3 do not take a reference image.

How many reference images can Nano Banana Pro take on text to image?

Up to 8, and the upload is optional. Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana 2 Lite take up to 10, also optional. The other models on this page take none.

Does picking 2K or 4K change the credits after the still appears?

No. Where a model lists 2K or 4K, the button shows that tier's credits before the run. A failed run returns those credits.

Where should a photo I already own go?

Image to image. This page does not require a file, and it does not make a clip.
