01 · Overview
What is MAI Image 2.6 Flash?
Flash is the 2.6 family tuned for turnaround: same two tiers, same five-reference edits, same literal prompt following — at half the token price and roughly half the wait. It trades a little of the full model's fine detail for speed you can feel.
Generation is 3 credits at 1K and 6 at 2K (1536×1536). Edits start at 4 credits with the first reference included, plus 1 per extra reference up to five. New accounts start with 20 free credits: six 1K images, or five edits.
Specs & capabilities
| Inputs | Text to image · Image editing · Multi-reference (up to 5 in the studio) |
| Resolution | 1K (1024×1024) or 2K (1536×1536) |
| Aspect ratios | 9 ratios in the studio, up to 16:9 wide |
| Output formats | PNG |
| Pricing shape | Token-billed upstream: 1K $0.0156, 2K $0.035 — priced here at 3 and 6 credits. Edits add the first reference's tokens, then 1 credit per extra reference. |
Good to know: Flash answers in roughly half the time of the full 2.6 — text renders typically land in 20–30 seconds. Like its sibling, very large reference photos are resized to 1536×1536 before upload, so edit prices stay predictable.

Why creators pick MAI Image 2.6 Flash
2K at 6 credits
The full 1536×1536 tier for the price of a 1K render on the sibling model. When the deliverable needs the pixels but the budget doesn't need the flagship, Flash's 2K tier is the cheapest real 2K on Pizyn.
Edits from 4 credits
The 4-credit edit price already includes one reference image; each extra reference adds just 1 credit. A five-reference composite tops out at 8 credits — the same as a single-reference edit on the full 2.6.

Prompt guide
- Draft on Flash, finish on 2.6: explore at 3 credits here, then re-render the winner on the full model when the last bit of fidelity matters.
- Be literal: Flash follows instructions closely — say what you want and skip the decoration.
- Edits stay cheap: five references cost 8 credits total, so composite freely — the per-reference surcharge is only 1 credit.
- Volume work belongs here: at 3 credits a render, Flash is the cheapest way to produce a run of consistent images in one session.

06 · FAQ
MAI Image 2.6 Flash FAQ
How much does MAI Image 2.6 Flash cost?
Generation is 3 credits ($0.03) at 1K and 6 credits ($0.06) at 2K. Edits cost 4 credits with the first reference included, plus 1 credit per extra reference (up to five — 8 credits at most).
What is the difference between Flash and the full 2.6?
Flash is the same model shape at half the price and roughly half the wait, with slightly less fine detail. Pick 2.6 for the best render; pick Flash for drafts, volume and speed.
How big is the 2K tier?
1536×1536 pixels at 1:1 — a genuine 2K render, not an upscale. Other ratios scale to the same total pixel count.
How do edit prices work?
The 4-credit edit base includes the output image plus your first reference. Each additional reference adds 1 credit, up to five references total. Large reference photos are resized to 1536×1536 before upload.
How fast is it?
Text renders typically land in 20–30 seconds — about twice as fast as the full 2.6 model.
When should I use a different model?
For 4K output (HY Image 3.5 Preview), more references per edit (GPT Image 2.5 takes 16), or the lowest flat price (Muse Image at 1 credit).
