Z-Image TurboAI image generator
Very fast, very cheap drafts. Pay only for the takes you keep — kill the rest for a full refund.

Z-Image Turbo is Alibaba's speed-first image model for cheap, rapid drafts from a prompt or an existing image. It is built for iteration, not for waiting.
Use it when you need volume: moodboards, layout tests, product mockups, and first-pass edits before you spend on a heavier model.
Z-Image Turbo pricing on Elyum
| Resolution | Credits / render | USD |
|---|---|---|
| per renderfree on Pro+ | $0.01 |
1 credit = $0.01. The struck-through number is the pre-cut rate — the discount is already in the live price. You only pay for takes you keep; previews and killed takes cost nothing. Full plan details on the pricing page.
Why Z-Image Turbo is good
Each keep is 0.8 credits ($0.01). That is the price of trying ten compositions before you commit to a hero image.
Start from a prompt or attach a still and iterate. Five aspect ratios cover square, portrait, and landscape without a second tool.
Every generation is a free preview. Credits move only when you keep a take. Kill the rest and the charge is refunded in full.
The $29/mo Pro plan includes fair-use unlimited Z-Image Turbo, so daily sketching does not eat the rest of your credit stack.
Draft here, then jump to a heavier image or video model on the same credit balance. Web studio, MCP, and REST all hit the same queue.
