Real examples generated with ERNIE Image — ads, infographics, character sheets, and structured layouts.
ERNIE Image is powered by Baidu's breakthrough 8-billion-parameter single-stream Diffusion Transformer (DiT). Unlike traditional models, it integrates text and image features in a unified space, allowing for unprecedented semantic alignment.
The engine excels at complex spatial reasoning: placing multiple objects exactly where you want them and rendering legible, stylistically consistent text in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
Six capabilities that separate it from generic text-to-image tools.
Most AI image generators butcher in-image text. Ernie Image is trained specifically for dense, layout-sensitive content — poster headlines, infographic labels, and UI mockup copy all come out clean and legible.
LongTextBench 0.9733Describe a scene with five characters, specific lighting, and spatial relationships. Ernie Image follows it — without collapsing everything into a generic composition. Strong reliability on knowledge-intensive descriptions.
GENEval 0.8856Posters, comic panels, storyboards, and multi-panel compositions come out with consistent layout logic. The structure holds. The style stays coherent. You get a usable deliverable, not just a pretty image.
You don't pick a mode. Ernie Image handles realistic photography, clean design-oriented imagery, and distinct stylized aesthetics — all from the same model, based entirely on your prompt.
Type a rough idea and the built-in Prompt Enhancer rewrites it into a structured, detailed description before the image generates. Better output from less effort — no prompt engineering required.
ERNIE Image runs 50 denoising steps at 4 credits for maximum output quality. ERNIE Image Turbo runs 8 steps at 1 credit — fast enough to iterate through 20 variations before committing to a final render.
From first prompt to downloaded image in under two minutes.
Describe what you want in plain language. Be brief or detailed — both work. Enable Prompt Expansion and Ernie Image will automatically enrich your description before generating, so you don't have to engineer the perfect prompt from scratch.
Choose ERNIE Image for final-quality output or Turbo for fast iteration. Pick one of five preset aspect ratios — 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, or 3:4 — or enter a custom size between 64 and 2048 pixels on each side.
Set Inference Steps (1–100) to control detail depth. Set Guidance Scale (1–20) to control how strictly the model follows your prompt. Generate 1–4 images per request to explore variations side by side.
Click Generate. Your PNG images appear in the result panel within seconds. Download directly or refine your prompt and settings to iterate — each generation costs credits based on your selected model.
From solo creators to professional teams — here's where it fits in the real world.
A graphic designer needs a poster with a real headline and body copy rendered inside the image. Ernie Image generates it with legible text and a coherent layout — no Photoshop cleanup required.
A creator publishes three posts a day and can't run a photo shoot for each one. Type a prompt, get a high-quality AI image in seconds, and keep moving. No subscription required.
A performance marketing team needs 50 ad creative variants in an afternoon. Feed Ernie Image product descriptions and get photo-realistic visuals across aspect ratios — without a design team bottleneck.
An illustrator uses Ernie Image to rough out panel compositions before inking. Multi-panel prompts produce consistent characters and environments, cutting pre-production time significantly.
A teacher needs an infographic with real labels and illustrations rendered in one image. Ernie Image handles the text accuracy that other AI generators can't, making it practical for actual classroom content.
Bring a book cover concept, fan art idea, or poster design to life with a text description. Ernie Image handles the visual heavy lifting — just describe what you want and iterate until it's right.
Early users share what's working — and where the AI image generator stands out.
"I started using the Ernie Image AI image generator right after launch for product mockups. The text rendering on posters is surprisingly clean — I've tried three other free tools and none of them got readable copy inside the image on the first try."

"The Turbo model in Ernie Image is genuinely fast — I iterate through 10 concept art ideas in the time another AI image generator does two. Guidance scale actually works here instead of being a placeholder slider. Solid output from the first attempt."

"The Prompt Expansion feature is the reason I stuck with Ernie Image. My rough descriptions come out looking intentional. For social media content the output is good enough to use directly — and the credits not expiring means I can buy in bulk without pressure."

"Tested the Ernie Image AI image generator for book cover concepts last week. The 1024×1024 output at higher inference steps is clean enough to present to clients as a starting point. Generating four variations from one prompt saves a lot of back-and-forth in the review process."

"Used Ernie Image for a campaign banner this week — the output needed minimal editing before it was deployable. The one-time credit model suits our workflow much better than a monthly subscription that resets regardless of usage."

"I use Ernie Image to generate reference images during art class — it's straightforward enough to demo live without prep. The text-to-image accuracy is good enough to show students what specific stylistic descriptions produce in practice."

Ernie Image is a free AI image generator built on Baidu's open-source 8B Diffusion Transformer. It converts text prompts into high-quality PNG images and is specifically trained for in-image text rendering, structured layouts, and multi-object compositions. Available in Standard (full quality) and Turbo (fast drafts) variants.
ERNIE Image is the full-quality model — 50 denoising steps, maximum detail, best for final deliverables. It costs 4 credits per image. ERNIE Image Turbo runs 8 denoising steps at 1 credit per image. It's significantly faster, making it ideal for rapid iteration, client previews, and concept exploration before committing to a final render.
No. All purchased credits are permanent. They carry over indefinitely with no expiration date and no monthly reset. Buy once and use them whenever you need them — no pressure to generate within a billing period.
Yes. The underlying model is released under Apache 2.0, which permits commercial use of both the model weights and generated outputs. You can use images in ads, products, client work, and print without a separate license agreement.
Ernie Image supports five preset aspect ratios: 1:1 (1024×1024), 16:9 (1280×720), 9:16 (720×1280), 4:3 (1024×768), and 3:4 (768×1024). You can also set fully custom dimensions between 64 and 2048 pixels on each side. All outputs are delivered as PNG files.
You can generate 1 to 4 images per request. Each image in the batch costs credits based on your selected model — 4 credits per image for ERNIE Image, 1 credit per image for Turbo. Batch generation is useful for quickly comparing variations of the same prompt.
