Image generation models

All Picture Lab models generate images from a text prompt. Many also support additional modes: some let you train a custom LoRA, others accept reference images for editing. The sections below show which extra capabilities each model has.

Trainable models

Trainable models generate images from a text prompt and support LoRA training — letting you teach the model your own avatar, visual style, or product. You don't need a reference image to generate; the model creates from scratch based on your prompt.

ModelWhat it does
Z-ImageHigh-quality generation with accurate prompt following and LoRA support
WAN 2.2Photorealistic people and lifestyle images with natural faces and lighting

Edit models

Edit models take a reference image and transform it based on your prompt — changing the scene, style, lighting, or composition while preserving identity or structure. Many of these models work best with at least one reference image. For some it is required; for others it is optional.
