In a single workspace, you can turn portraits into characters, turn hand-drawn sketches into spatial designs, or develop an idea into a complete picture.

Usage is billed by credits: the credits a task will consume are shown before generation or editing, and failed tasks are refunded the credits already deducted. Credits are purchased via one-time top-up packages, valid for 365 days, with no auto-renewal.
