Is the WaveSpeedAI image generator free?

No. You need an active subscription to generate: the Starter plan is $19 per month with 600 credits, and one image costs 2 credits.

Can I start from an image I already have?

Yes. Image-to-image takes an uploaded reference and applies the change you describe, which suits variations, product angles, and restyles.

How many images does a plan cover?

At 2 credits per image, Starter covers about 300 images a month, Pro about 900, and Studio about 2,000.

WaveSpeedAI Image Generator

Generate an image from a prompt, or upload a reference and describe the change you want. Image generation costs 2 credits per image.

What the WaveSpeedAI image generator does

The WaveSpeedAI image generator turns a written prompt into a finished image, and it can rework an image you upload. It runs on the same account and the same credit balance as the video and music tools, so you do not need a separate subscription for each format.

Text to image. Describe the subject, the setting, and the look you want. Plain language works; add camera and lighting words when you are after a specific style.
Image to image. Upload a starting image and describe the change: a variation of a shot, another product angle, or a new treatment of existing artwork.
Model library. Choose from the image models in the WaveSpeedAI library, including FLUX and Qwen Image.
Credits. 2 credits per image, taken from the credits included in your plan. Credits renew every month.

Generating needs an active subscription: plans start at $19 per month and include 600 credits.
