Imagen 4 is Google's text-to-image model. It's known for detailed, photorealistic results and for rendering text well, as our samples show: a cinematic library scene, a chalkboard menu with every price correct, and an isometric illustration.

Can Imagen 4 edit my photos or use reference images?

No. Imagen 4 makes images from a text prompt only. If you need to edit a photo or keep a product consistent, pick a model that takes references, such as GPT Image, Nano Banana or Seedream. Since credits are shared, you can switch with one field.

How much does Imagen 4 cost?

5 credits per image at both 1K and 2K. Plans start at $9/month for 1,000 credits, enough for about 200 images a month. You get 2K for the same price as 1K.

Can I use Imagen 4 in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect AiWings once as a connector in Claude, a plugin in ChatGPT, or an MCP server in Cursor, then ask for an image and name the model, for example “use Imagen 4”. The image shows up right in the chat.

What resolutions and aspect ratios does it support?

1K (about 1,024 px) and 2K (about 2,048 px on the long side), in 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, 3:4 and 4:3. If you ask for a ratio it doesn't list, AiWings uses the closest one.

What's the difference between Imagen 4, Imagen 4 Fast and Imagen 4 Ultra?

All three are Google image models on AiWings. Imagen 4 Fast (3 credits) is the quickest and most affordable, Imagen 4 (5 credits) is the balanced choice, and Imagen 4 Ultra (8 credits) is the top-fidelity one. Credits are shared, so you can try all three on the same prompt.

An abandoned grand library flooded with shallow mirror-like water, books floating like lily pads and trees growing under a broken glass dome — A cinematic scene that looks shot on film
16:9 · 2752 × 1536 px
Show the promptHide the prompt
Cinematic wide photograph of an abandoned grand library flooded with a few inches of perfectly still water that mirrors everything. Towering carved wooden shelves rise on both sides, books drift across the surface like lily pads, young trees and ferns grow through a broken stained-glass dome overhead, and thick shafts of golden light fall through the dust. A faded red carpet disappears beneath the water. Moody, atmospheric, anamorphic lens flare, rich color grade. No people.

A black chalkboard cafe menu with hand-lettered headings, prices and small chalk illustrations of cups and croissants — Hand-lettered text, spelled right
3:4 · 1792 × 2400 px
Show the promptHide the prompt
A large black chalkboard cafe menu in a wooden frame, hand-lettered in white and pastel chalk with small chalk doodles of coffee cups, croissants and coffee beans. The heading reads exactly 'MORNING MENU'. The items and prices read exactly: 'Flat White 3.80', 'Cardamom Latte 4.20', 'Cold Brew 3.60', 'Almond Croissant 3.40', 'Date & Walnut Loaf 3.00'. At the bottom: 'Fresh daily from 7 am'. Authentic chalk dust texture, slightly smudged edges, warm cafe lighting. No people.

A halved blood orange glowing like a stained-glass window with translucent segments lit from behind on a dark surface — Everyday things turned into art
1:1 · 1024 × 1024 px
Show the promptHide the prompt
Macro photograph of a halved blood orange lit from directly behind so every segment glows like a stained-glass window, deep ruby, amber and gold with fine white membranes as lead lines, tiny juice droplets catching the light. Placed on a dark matte surface with a few scattered orange zest curls. Extreme detail, shallow depth of field, studio lighting. No people.

An isometric cutaway diorama of a three-floor bookstore with a spiral staircase, cozy reading nooks, plants and warm lamp light — Charming isometric illustration
4:3 · 1200 × 896 px
Show the promptHide the prompt
A charming isometric cutaway diorama of a three-floor independent bookstore on a floating square base, soft clay-render style. Each floor is a cozy room: a ground-floor shop with a round table of new releases, a spiral staircase, a second-floor reading nook with armchairs and a window seat, a rooftop greenhouse with plants. Warm lamp light spilling from the windows, tiny details like stacked books, hanging lanterns and a cat-shaped lamp. Pastel palette, soft shadows, clean off-white background. No people.

A vertical view up the inside of a glass greenhouse tower with spiraling floating gardens, a white staircase and sunbeams — Tall, dramatic compositions at 9:16
9:16 · 1536 × 2752 px
Show the promptHide the prompt
Vertical photograph looking straight up the inside of a colossal glass-and-iron greenhouse tower, with terraced gardens spiraling up the walls: cascading ferns, hanging orchids, small orange trees and waterfalls falling between levels. A white spiral staircase winds up the center toward a glowing glass ceiling that floods the space with warm sunbeams and drifting mist. Symmetrical composition, ultra-detailed foliage, wide-angle lens, serene and awe-inspiring. No people.
