Image models
An AI image generator with several models
5 image models from OpenAI, Google, Black Forest Labs, and Ideogram, in the same chat as the text models. Each image is priced before you make it, in messages from your plan's monthly allowance.

Short answer
llmwise makes images with 5 models from OpenAI, Google, Black Forest Labs, and Ideogram on paid plans, and Free makes images in Create with open models. An image counts as 2 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages (GPT Image 2.5 Flare) to 5 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages (Nano Banana Pro), so Pro's month makes up to 50 to 125 images if it all goes to images.
Every image model, and what an image costs
Each count is the most that plan makes if its whole month goes to that model's images.
| Model | Made by | Each image | Plus ($10) | Pro ($20) | Max ($50) | Ultra ($100) | Studio ($200) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI · via kie.ai | 2 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages | 62 | 125 | 400 | 900 | 2,000 |
| Nano Banana 2 | Google · via kie.ai | 2 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages | 62 | 125 | 400 | 900 | 2,000 |

Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Plus $3.75, Pro $7.50, Max $20, Ultra $42, Studio $85. Using every message on your plan at typical sizes stays under it; very large messages and heavy research use it faster. Every limit, explained.

How images work in llmwise
Ask for an image in any chat, on any text model. The model writes a prompt from your request, and the image model you picked makes the picture.
Only that prompt and the image's size go to the image model: never your chat, your files or your memory.
Images come from the same monthly allowance as your messages. Free doesn't make images.
Every one of these models is made through kie.ai, which resells access to each maker's model. llmwise downloads each image as soon as it's made and keeps it with your chat.
What kie.ai may do with a prompt, and how long it keeps it, is in the Privacy Policy's section on kie.ai.
Questions
Which is the best AI image generator?
llmwise doesn't rank them, and no single one wins at everything. What you can compare before making an image is its price and settings, which are on each model's page; the fair test is the same prompt on two of them.
Can I make images on Free?
Yes, in Create, with the open models: Z-Image, FLUX.2 Klein 4B, and Qwen-Image. Each image's price shows before you make it. The other image models are on paid plans, or on Free with a pack you buy.
Can I choose the model for each image?
Yes. In the chat, press Create, choose Image and pick the model; each model's price shows before you send.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, GLM, and Mistral, in one chat.
