About Imagen 4 Fast
Imagen 4 Fast is the speed-optimized variant of Google’s flagship Imagen 4 model. It keeps Imagen’s strong prompt comprehension and natural-looking output while running faster and cheaper, which makes it an excellent everyday workhorse.
Imagen models are particularly good at realistic lighting, coherent scenes and following nuanced prompts, so Fast is a smart default when you want dependable, modern results without paying for the full flagship.
On ArtifyAI it costs 1 credit per image. If you need the highest fidelity, step up to the full Imagen 4.
