Why MAI Image 2.5 Pro is good

Photoreal stills

MAI Image 2.5 Pro is Microsoft's image model on Elyum, aimed at realism over stylized illustration. Use it when the frame should read as a photograph, not a filter.

Text to image and edits

Start from a prompt or attach a source image and change what you need. Elyum exposes both text-to-image and image editing on this model.

Eight aspect ratios

Pick from eight aspect ratios so the same prompt can land in a square post, a story frame, a wide hero, or a print-ready crop without a separate resize step.

Free previews, pay for keeps

Every render returns as a free take. You judge it, then keep what works or kill the rest for a full refund. Credits move only when you keep a take.

Clean commercial downloads

Kept takes download at full quality with no watermark. Commercial use is included, so the file can go into ads, decks, and product pages.

Studio, MCP, and API

Run MAI Image 2.5 Pro in the Elyum web studio, or call the same model from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through Elyum's MCP server and REST API on one credit balance.
