# Z-Image

> Z-Image is a fast, lightweight image model on Mage with image-to-image, LoRAs, and negative prompts. Unlimited from Basic at 1K and from Pro at 2K.

Z-Image is a fast, lightweight image model, and the one to iterate on. It takes an input image for image-to-image work, LoRAs, and negative prompts, and runs unlimited from Basic at 1K and from Pro at 2K.

## Overview

| Detail         |                                          |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Type           | Image                                    |
| Origin         | Open-weights model hosted on Mage's GPUs |
| Models         | Z-Image                                  |
| Unlimited from | Basic                                    |

## Unlimited generation by plan

Which plan runs each resolution unlimited, at the model's base settings. Gems means that setting always costs Gems on that plan.

| Model   | Setting | Basic     | Pro       | Pro Plus  | Max       |
| ------- | ------- | --------- | --------- | --------- | --------- |
| Z-Image | 1K      | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Z-Image | 2K      | Gems      | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |

Add-ons such as LoRAs, ControlNet, extra reference images, or reference videos may raise a run's price and move it to a higher plan or to Gems.

## What it supports on Mage

## Best for

* Fast iteration on composition and framing
* Photoreal drafts
* Image-to-image work

## An example prompt to start from

```text theme={null}
a woman in a gray wool coat waiting at a tram stop, overcast afternoon, 50mm, photojournalistic
```

## Limitations

* Fine detail is softer than on Guava 2 Pro. Use Z-Image to find the shot, then finish it on a slower model.
* No Characters or References.
