Preview for MiniMax Image-01

Catalog preview for MiniMax Image-01. Review your own result before publishing.

A starting point.

Describe the subject and setting, then use a reference when appearance matters.

Before you publish.

Compare facial features and clothing against the reference; inspect hands and lettering.

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 default requires prompt, limited to 1500 characters. Subject-reference also requires image_url; a text-only request does not use your photograph.

Choose aspect_ratio for the composition and num_images for the output count. prompt_optimizer controls automatic rewriting; change one setting when comparing variations.

Inputs, all modes and APIModel IDs, current input limits and the API generation workflow.

Supported inputs

These fields come from the current studio form for minimax/image-01. Other modes may require different inputs.

Use MiniMax Image-01 through the API.

Start with this model ID for the endpoint featured on this page:

minimax/image-01

Input requirements belong to this model ID. Check a different mode’s schema separately when switching modes.

Available modes

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.
