The other volume tier. ## What it costs - Resolution · 1 MP: 0.5 credits (≈ $0.01) Dollar figures are approximate, at the Starter plan's rate of $19.00 for 800 credits. ## What it takes - **Aspect ratios**: 1:1 4:3 3:4 16:9 9:16 3:2 2:3 - **Reference images**: Not accepted ## When to reach for it Pruna's image model, priced with FLUX Schnell at the bottom of the catalog: half a credit, 1 megapixel, one setting, no reference images. It is the second option for the same job: making a lot of images cheaply, where a spread matters more than any one frame. It differs from Schnell in two ways worth knowing. It returns JPEG rather than PNG, because the provider offers no output-format control, so it is not the model to use when you need transparency or a lossless master. And it offers seven aspect ratios to Schnell's ten, without the 21:9. Having two models at this price is not redundancy. They render differently, and when a cheap tier keeps missing the mark in a particular way, switching to the other one is a faster fix than climbing the ladder. Neither takes a reference, so neither can hold a subject; that limitation is what the price buys, on both. ## How to prompt P-Image Describe what you want in your own words and Kuro writes the prompt for you. If you would rather write it yourself, this is what P-Image responds to. Fast text to image and nothing else: the prompt is the entire input, so write everything the picture must show. It is built for volume — mood boards, thumbnails, background plates, many variations of a layout before you commit. Keep prompts short and change one thing at a time across a batch. It is at its best on simple, clean compositions and flat subjects. ### What it can't do - No reference images. A saved Subject contributes its written description only, so nothing carries a face or a set from one picture to the next — used for a film's stills, every frame is words alone. - Fixed at about one megapixel, usually delivered as JPEG. - Faces, hands and fine texture lose quality quickly. - Seven aspect ratios: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2 and 2:3. - Editing one of its pictures moves the edit to a model that can read images. ### Use something else when… - The pictures must look like a specific person or product, or stay consistent across a sequence: [Seedream 5 Lite](https://meetkuro.com/models/seedream-5-lite.md). - It needs legible lettering: [GPT Image 2.5 Flare](https://meetkuro.com/models/gpt-image-2.5-flare.md). - You need a vector file: [Recraft V4.1 SVG](https://meetkuro.com/models/recraft-v4.1-svg.md). ## Guides that cover it - [Which image model to reach for, and when](https://meetkuro.com/guides/choosing-an-image-model.md): Twelve image models, from half a credit to twenty-one. What each one is for, where the resolution setting changes the price, and when the cheap tier is right. ## P-Image is one pick in the composer. Every model in this catalog runs from the same prompt bar, priced in the same credits. --- ## About Kuro Kuro is an AI picture studio: prompt-driven images, clips, voice-overs and music, and storyboard-backed films with consistent characters across every scene.
