About

Imagen 4 Fast is Google’s speed-optimized variant of the Imagen 4 text-to-image model, designed for rapid, high-volume image generation. It’s ideal for workflows like quick drafts, mockups, and iterative creative exploration. Despite emphasizing speed, it still benefits from the broader Imagen 4 family’s improvements in clarity, text rendering, and stylistic flexibility, and supports high-resolution outputs up to 2K.
