Transforming ideas into images: Introducing text-to-image generation on Nebius AI Studio

From concept art to product visuals, text-to-image AI is revolutionizing creative workflows, reducing hours of design work to mere minutes. Today, we’re excited to launch Nebius AI Studio’s text-to-image service, delivering premium, production-ready image generation at a fraction of typical costs.

What this means for you

Generate stunning visuals at scale without breaking the bank. Our text-to-image service unlocks powerful new possibilities across industries: marketing teams can generate and test ad variations in minutes, game studios are able to rapidly prototype concept art, and design agencies gain the ability to accelerate their ideation process. For e-commerce brands, producing product lifestyle imagery at scale becomes seamless, while app developers can streamline UI/UX workflows with real-time visual generation.

With consistent style control and flexible pricing, you can experiment freely and scale confidently — whether you’re crafting custom social media content or generating assets for your next big launch. The service offers:

  • High-resolution output up to 2000×2000: No more scrimping on quality.

  • Speed at 1.8 seconds per image: Perfect for real-time feedback loops.

  • Simple, predictable costs from 0.0013 USD per image: No hidden fees.

  • Enterprise-grade reliability: Built to scale with your projects.

  • Unlimited rate limits on request: Start with default caps and scale to virtually infinite throughput.

This combination sets a new standard for professional image generation, empowering you to create without limits.

Why Nebius AI Studio stands out

We’ve built our service to scale with your imagination, with no resolution caps or strict quotas.

🔍 Superior Resolution & Quality

  • Generate images up to 2000×2000 pixels (4 megapixels) — that’s up to 4 times larger than most alternatives

  • Adjust your results with advanced parameter controls

  • Achieve consistent results with seed management and negative prompts

💰 Industry-leading pricing

  • No hidden fees or size-based pricing variations

  • Simple, predictable costs for easier budgeting

🚀 Built for production

  • OpenAI-compatible API for seamless integration

  • Flexible rate limits that grow with your needs

  • Enterprise-grade infrastructure for reliable scaling

Short, hands-on examples

Implementing our text-to-image service is straightforward. Here’s a quick example using cURL:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.studio.nebius.ai/v1/images/generations' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NEBIUS_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "model": "black-forest-labs/flux-schnell",
    "prompt": "A serene landscape at sunset, with rolling hills and a lone tree silhouette",
    "response_format": "url"
  }'

And here’s the one for Python:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://api.studio.nebius.ai/v1/",
  api_key="your_api_key"
)

response = client.images.generate(
  model="stability-ai/sdxl",
  prompt="A serene mountain landscape at sunrise, with mist in the valley",
  size="1024x1024",
  response_format="b64_json",
  extra_body={
    "response_extension": "webp",  # Optimize for web delivery
    "num_inference_steps": 40,     # Higher quality output
    "seed": 123456,                # Reproducible results
    "negative_prompt": "dark, cloudy, storm, hazy"
  }
)

Key parameters to customize your generations include:

  • size: Support for resolutions up to 2048×2048 pixels

  • num_inference_steps: Adjust the generation quality

  • seed: Enable consistent, reproducible results

  • negative_prompt: Refine outputs by specifying what to exclude

  • response_format: Get results as URLs or base64-encoded images

All models available in Studio support these parameters, allowing you to optimize for your specific needs — whether it’s ultra-fast generation with Flux Schnell or premium quality with SDXL.

Three ways to master prompt crafting

The key to exceptional AI-generated images is in how you describe them. Here are three proven techniques to improve your results:

  1. Be specific with composition. Instead of “A cat,” try “A Persian cat sitting in a sunlit window, soft morning light, professional photography.”

  2. Use negative prompts to refine results:

{
"prompt": "Professional headshot of a business person",
"negative_prompt": "blurry, distorted features, unrealistic lighting"
}
  1. Save seeds for consistency. Keep your seed value when you find the perfect style and use it across multiple generations for consistent results. This approach is perfect for creating sets of related images.

Conclusion

What’s next

We’re actively developing image-to-image transformations, advanced editing capabilities, model fine-tuning options, enhanced control features and an ability of running LoRA models. Plus, we’re continuously optimizing the models for even better quality and performance.

How to get started in minutes

We can’t wait to see what you create.
