Generate an image with AI, from a single sentence
Write a sentence, get an image. On the Imaginode canvas, the text-to-image template connects a Text node to an Image node: you pick the model and the format, and the cost is shown before you click.
Free account: 25 credits to try it out.
It all starts with two connected nodes: a Text node holding your idea, and an Image node turning it into a visual. It is the simplest workflow in AI creation, and it is exactly what the "Text to image" template drops onto your canvas, already wired up.
Your choice of model makes all the difference. Flux Schnell costs 1 credit (one cent) and is perfect for fast exploration; Flux 2 Klein at 3 credits covers most everyday needs; Flux 2 Pro at 7 credits delivers the final versions. You can switch models on the same node without rewiring anything.
To go further, our guide on creating your first AI image walks through the full journey, and writing a prompt that works will save you dozens of attempts.
