Before you publish.
Inspect fine edges and recurring detail errors before choosing a version.
Review the quote before running. A failed generation releases its reserved credits. Download the results you want to keep; stored media is retained for 30 days.
Settings and model questionsCheck the available settings and guidance when preparing your input.
Inputs and settings
The provider documents 1, 2, 4 or 8 inference steps, with four as the default. Keep a seed when comparing step choices.
Choose JPEG or PNG in format. Image-to-image adds image_url and strength; inpainting additionally needs mask_url.

Use SDXL Lightning through the API.
Start with this model ID for the endpoint featured on this page:
fast-lightning-sdxl
Input requirements belong to this model ID. Check a different mode’s schema separately when switching modes.
Available modes
- text-to-image ·
fast-lightning-sdxl - image-to-image (image-to-image) ·
fast-lightning-sdxl/image-to-image - image-to-image (inpainting) ·
fast-lightning-sdxl/inpainting
Check the current model schema for supported inputs and options. Other tasks may use different model IDs.
From quote to result.
Request a credit quote for your input and settings before submitting a generation. A sample output or the price of another model is not a quote for your request.
Follow the generation workflow, then poll the job for its status and result. The API and studio use the same balance.
