Features
Brainstorm in Flow State
Streams image variations from one prompt at 1 token per image, with a More Like This button and Vibe, Lighting, Shot Type and Color Theme presets.
Make short videos from text or images
Turns a prompt or a still image into a short clip, with start and end frames to fix the opening and closing shot.
Edit an image by describing the change
Omni editing removes, replaces or restyles parts of a generated or uploaded image from a typed instruction, with models such as GPT-Image-2 and Nano Banana Pro.
Repaint or extend an image on a canvas
The Canvas Editor redraws only a masked area from a prompt, or generates new scenery beyond the image's edges.
Pro Upscaler
Enlarges images 2x to 8x, up to 105 megapixels, in Precise or Creative mode with a Fix AI Image Artifacts switch; paid plans only.
Train a custom style, object or character
Elements training learns from 10 to 50 uploaded images and takes from 30 minutes to a few hours; not available on the free plan.
What users say
Pros
- Polished images come from short, plain prompts without requiring special prompt syntax.
- Images come out crisp and detailed, and realistic photos are a particular strength.
- One prompt drafts many concept, thumbnail and social-post variations in a single pass.
- For image work, the paid plans are good value for the volume of images they produce.
- Game-asset and character-design use is a highlighted strength, with shorter production cycles and lower costs cited.
Cons
- Safety filters reject ordinary prompts, such as an exposed car engine, and don't say which word failed.
- Slowdowns and failed generations keep recurring, and a long wait can still end in an error.
- Video costs far more tokens than images, so a paid monthly allowance covers few clips.
- Cancelling wipes unused paid tokens, with the loss often discovered only after the balance disappears.
- Prompts are often only partly followed, and every retry to fix the result costs full tokens.
