Yevideo AI Image: Let your imagination become visualized AI images

If you have a reference image, image-to-image is usually the best choice—because the AI model can clearly “see” the style you want, it’s much easier to get results you like. If you don’t have a reference, your outcome mainly depends on how clearly you describe the visual essentials. At minimum, specify the subject (who/what), materials and details (e.g., skin texture, fabric), lighting (soft/hard/backlight), and style (photoreal, illustration, film, cyberpunk, etc.).

Use text-to-image when you don’t have a reference image and you only have an imagined scene—you can generate a first version and see if it matches what you want. Use image-to-image when you do have a reference, or when you already have an image and want to tweak specific elements. For example, if you have a photo with an ex and want to remove them, image-to-image is a great fit.

Choose based on each model’s strengths. Nano Banana is cheaper, generates fast, and the quality is solid. Nano Banana Pro produces higher quality and handles text better. GPT-4o Image is great for complex scenes, including tasks that involve reasoning (for example, math-style problems).

More isn’t always better—the key is that each reference image has a clear role. A common setup is: one image for the main subject (person/product), and another for style or color mood (atmosphere/texture). If you upload multiple images, it helps to explain what each one is for (e.g., “Image 1 is the person, Image 2 is the lighting and color palette”). Use clear, high-resolution references where the subject is large; cluttered backgrounds or low-res images make alignment harder.

Yes—and we strongly recommend it. First lock the style and character in an image, then move to image-to-video. Download the generated image and upload it into image-to-video, then keep the same subject and describe the motion/camera. It’s like fixing the first frame before animating, so results are more stable and you’re more likely to be satisfied.

AI images deduct credits per run, mainly based on the model, resolution, and how many images you generate at once. You’ll usually see an estimated cost before generating, and the final deduction is recorded in My Credits. Free credits may come from welcome bonuses, daily check-ins, and campaigns (subject to in-app rules). If you generate frequently, choose a subscription plan that matches your usage level.
