Why MiniMax Image is good

Subject reference

Elyum positions MiniMax Image for quick stills with subject reference. Attach a person, product, or character and generate new frames that stay on that subject.

Text to image and editing

Run a prompt from scratch or edit an existing still. Both paths are available in the Elyum image studio, so you can draft and revise without switching models.

Eight aspect ratios

Choose from eight aspect ratios so the same prompt can land as a square social still, a vertical story, or a wide campaign frame.

Pay only for keeps

Every take is a free preview. KEEP the ones you want at 2 credits ($0.02) per render, or KILL the rest and the credits come back. Nobody else refunds bad generations.

Clean commercial downloads

Kept takes download at full quality with no watermark. Commercial use is included, so the file you keep is the file you can ship.

Fair-use unlimited on Pro

On the Pro plan at $29/mo, MiniMax Image is fair-use unlimited. Plus is $9/mo and Ultra is $69/mo; the Free plan gives up to 100 credits once (our algorithm may grant them).
