01 · Overview

What is Z-Image Turbo?

Z-Image Turbo is Tongyi Lab's distilled image model: a large model's knowledge compressed into a few-step generator that answers in seconds. It trades the last word in fine detail for something no flagship can offer — an image for a single credit.

It generates across ten aspect ratios up to 1536px, in JPEG, PNG or WebP, and restyles a single reference photo toward any prompt. New accounts start with 20 free credits — twenty images — before a single pack is bought.

Pricing shapeFlat $0.005 per image upstream — priced here at exactly 1 credit, generation and restyles alike.

Good to know: restyles use one reference image at a balanced strength — the result keeps your photo's composition while following the prompt's look. For multi-reference composites, use Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2.6.

Why creators pick Z-Image Turbo

Orange cat wearing tiny sunglasses on a pink background — generated with Z-Image Turbo

Zero-cost-feeling iteration

At one credit, the psychology changes: you stop rationing generations and start exploring. Avatars, memes, thumbnails, placeholder art, twenty variations of a sticker idea — volume work that would be wasteful on a flagship is free-form here.

Floating castle above clouds at sunrise — generated with Z-Image Turbo

Distilled, not dumbed down

Turbo inherits its teacher's composition and color sense — landscapes, characters and scenes come out coherent on the first try, which is exactly what a draft engine needs to be useful upstream of a final render.

06 · FAQ

Z-Image Turbo FAQ

How much does Z-Image Turbo cost?

Exactly 1 credit ($0.01 at the standard credit rate) per image — generation and photo restyles alike. It is the cheapest model on Pizyn: a new account's 20 free credits make 20 images.

What is Z-Image Turbo?

Tongyi Lab's distilled image model: a large model's ability compressed into a few-step generator that returns images in seconds. It is built for drafts, volume and play — not for final print detail.

Can it restyle my photo?

Yes. Switch to Image to Image, add one reference photo and describe the new look. The restyle keeps your photo's composition at a balanced strength. Multi-reference composites are not supported here — see Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2.6 for those.

What sizes and formats are available?

Ten aspect ratios with sizes up to 1536px per side, delivered as JPEG, PNG or WebP — your choice in the panel.

When should I use a different model?

When the image is a final: crisp text (Qwen Image 3.0), 2K–4K detail (Seedream 5 Pro) or complex multi-reference edits (GPT Image 2.6). Turbo's job is to find the idea cheaply.
