MAI Image 2.6 questions

What is MAI Image 2.6?

MAI Image 2.6 is Microsoft’s latest MAI text-to-image model, built for stronger text rendering, portraits, 3D-style stills, and polished commercial visuals. Generate online here with credits.

How do I generate an image?

What’s the difference between 2.6, Flash, and 2.5?

2.6 is the quality-focused default. Flash targets faster, more cost-efficient runs when you need throughput. 2.5 and 2.5 Pro remain available if you want the previous generation or a different credit profile.

How do credits and pricing work?

Each run shows an estimated credit cost before you generate. Exact costs depend on the model and whether you edit an image. Plans and pack details are on the Pricing page.

Can I edit an existing image?

Yes. Upload a reference image in the generator, describe the change in your prompt, and generate an edited result. Credit cost updates with the edit workflow.

Can I use outputs commercially?

Paid plans include commercial usage rights as described on Pricing and in the Terms of Service. Free usage follows the Terms—review those pages for the current license details.

How do I write better prompts?

Be specific about subject, style, composition, lighting, and any on-image text. For readable text, quote the exact wording and place it in the scene. See the prompt guide for ready-to-use patterns.

When should I choose Flash?

Choose Flash when speed and credit efficiency matter more than squeezing the last bit of quality—batch drafts, rapid iterations, and high-volume workflows. Switch back to 2.6 for hero shots and detail-critical work.
