Reference images

Restyle a Photo with Z-Image: Keep the Layout, Change the Look

On the left is the reference we attached, on the right what Z-Image Turbo made from it with the prompt below. It keeps where things are and redraws everything else, so use it for restyles, not for touch-ups that must keep a face.

Dog to clay figurine — before
Before
Dog to clay figurine, made with Z-Image
After

Dog to clay figurine

1 / 5

A corgi photo becomes a handmade clay figure on a wooden table: same pose, same ears, new material.

Prompt

Turn this dog into a handmade clay figurine standing on a wooden desk, with visible fingerprints and soft matte clay texture. Keep its breed, markings, expression and pose.

How it works

How to Use Z-Image on ZImagePro in Three Steps

  1. 1

    Describe the picture

    Write what you want to see in English or Chinese. Quote any words that must appear in the image. Add one reference image if you want Z-Image to keep a layout.

  2. 2

    Pick Turbo or Base, then a size

    Turbo costs 1 credit and is the quickest. Base costs 2 and varies more between tries. Choose 1024 or 1536 px, same price; the button shows the cost before you start.

  3. 3

    Reroll, or lock the seed

    Not quite right? Generate again for a new take, or fix the seed and change one word at a time. Everything you make is saved to your library.

Why ZImagePro

What Z-Image Gets Right, and How ZImagePro Uses It

An open 6B model from Alibaba's Tongyi Lab, served without a GPU, a ComfyUI graph or a waitlist. One prompt box and a price you can read before you click.

Turbo for speed, Base for range

Z-Image Turbo finishes in 8 steps and costs 1 credit. The Base model takes longer and costs 2, but Tongyi Lab says it gives more variety from seed to seed and follows long prompts more closely. Switch with one tap.

Signs and labels in two languages

Tongyi Lab reports strong English and Chinese text rendering, and it shows: shop signs, menus and packaging come out readable. Put the words in quotes and check rare long words before you print.

Start from a reference image

Attach one photo or sketch and Z-Image keeps its layout while it follows your prompt. Good for turning a pet into a clay figure, a sketch into a render or summer into winter. It redraws the picture, so faces will change.

Seeds you can reuse

Set a seed to get the same picture again from the same prompt and settings. Every gallery example on this page loads its seed, so you can reproduce it and then change one word at a time.

FAQ

Z-Image Generator FAQ

  • ZImagePro is an online Z-Image generator. Write a prompt to make a new image, or attach one reference image and describe the result you want. Pick Z-Image Turbo for speed or the Base model for more variety, and your images stay in your library.

  • Z-Image is an open-source 6-billion-parameter image model from the Z-Image team at Alibaba's Tongyi Lab, released under the Apache 2.0 license. Z-Image-Turbo came out in November 2025 and the full Z-Image model in January 2026. Tongyi Lab says Turbo needs only 8 steps and reaches sub-second speed on H800 GPUs; on ZImagePro a Turbo image usually takes a few seconds end to end.

  • Start with Turbo: it costs 1 credit, comes back fastest and looks the most polished. Switch to Base (2 credits) when Turbo keeps giving you similar faces or compositions, or when a long prompt needs to be followed closely. Base is slower, especially at 1536 px.

  • The seed fixes the starting noise. Same prompt, tier, size, ratio and seed gives you the same image again; leave it empty for a fresh result every time. Turbo tends to vary little between seeds, so for very different takes change the prompt or switch to Base.

  • Yes. New accounts get free credits, enough for several Z-Image Turbo images. After that you use credits from a plan or a one-off pack, and the Generate button always shows the cost first.

  • Good for headlines, signs, labels and short menus in English or Chinese, which is one of the things Tongyi Lab highlights. Long or rare English words are sometimes misspelled, so quote the exact text and proofread before anything goes to print.

  • Not in the sense of retouching. Z-Image on ZImagePro takes one reference image and redraws it to match your prompt, keeping the layout and colors as closely as you ask. That suits restyles like clay figures, anime or a season change. It will not keep a face or a product exactly, and it cannot combine several photos.

  • Describe the subject, the setting, the light and the style in plain sentences, in English or Chinese. Put any text that must appear in quotes and say where it goes. Keep wording you like and change one detail at a time, with a fixed seed if you want the rest to stay put.

  • Fifteen aspect ratios, from 3:1 panoramas to 1:3 tall strips, at 1024 or 1536 pixels on the long side. Both sizes cost the same; 1536 takes about twice as long. With a reference image and the ratio on Auto, the result follows the reference's shape.

  • The Z-Image model weights are released under Apache 2.0. Images you make on a paid ZImagePro plan can be used commercially under our Terms of Service. You are responsible for what you depict, so avoid real people's likenesses and other people's trademarks.

  • No. ZImagePro is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Alibaba Group or Tongyi Lab. It runs the open Z-Image model through third-party inference platforms.
