AI Image Generator

Generate images up to 4K with dual AI models, directly for your video projects.

AI Image Generator for Video

Stock photos rarely match what’s in your head. ChatCut generates exactly the image you need, up to 4K resolution, and it’ll drop straight onto your video timeline.

Describe what you want in plain English. ChatCut handles the rest.

Two AI models give you a choice between speed and quality. Use up to 14 reference images to guide the output. Get text rendered correctly inside the image. This isn’t a standalone image generator; it’s built into your editing workflow, so you won’t need to switch tools.

Dual-Model System

ChatCut offers two generation models so you can match the tool to the task. Here’s how they compare:

Flash (Gemini 2.5)

  • Fast generation for iteration and previewing
  • ~0.2 credits per image
  • Best for: thumbnails, quick concepts, backgrounds, social posts

Pro (Gemini 3)

  • Highest quality output for final production
  • ~0.6 credits per image
  • Best for: hero images, product shots, detailed illustrations, print-quality assets

Both models support the same feature set: reference images, text rendering, high resolution. Pro just pushes quality higher at a slightly higher cost.

Up to 4K Resolution

ChatCut generates images at resolutions up to 2048x2048 pixels, true 4K quality. This matters when your images need to hold up on:

  • Large displays and projections
  • Print materials
  • Zoomed-in video compositions
  • High-resolution exports

Most AI image tools cap at 1K or 2K. You won’t find that limitation here.


Reference Image Support

Upload up to 14 reference images with your prompt. Use them to guide:

  • Style – “Generate in the style of these reference photos”
  • Subject – “Create an image of this product in a different setting”
  • Composition – “Use a similar layout to this reference”
  • Color palette – “Match the color scheme of these images”
  • Brand consistency – “Keep the visual style consistent with these existing assets”

Fourteen reference images is significantly more than most generators allow. That’s better style matching and more precise output.

Professional product photo of a smartwatch on a marble surface, warm studio lighting, shallow depth of field, match the style of my 3 reference photos
Result

4K product image with studio lighting, marble texture, and bokeh matching the reference style, placed on timeline as image item


Accurate Text Rendering

One of the most frustrating limitations of AI image generators is garbled text. ChatCut’s Gemini-powered models handle text rendering properly. Logos, labels, signs, watermarks, and typography aren’t gibberish here; they render as actual readable text.

This opens up use cases that other generators can’t touch:

  • Thumbnail text overlays
  • Social media quote graphics
  • Signage and environmental text
  • Product labels and packaging mockups
  • Meme-style text layouts

Google Search Enhancement

Enable search grounding to improve factual accuracy in generated images. When you’re generating images of real places, products, or references, the AI can pull from Google’s knowledge graph to get details right. It’s especially useful for landmarks, well-known products, and recognizable locations.

Don’t Click Through Menus. Just Tell ChatCut What You Want.

Need a thumbnail? Describe it. Need a background for your intro? Describe it. Need a series of matching images for a slideshow? You’ll describe the style once and generate them all. You can also pair generated images with AI motion graphics for animated overlays.

The AI agent handles image generation as part of your editing session. Combine it with other operations, like the AI video generator:

“Generate a hero image for the intro, add it to the first 3 seconds with a slow zoom, then add my logo as a lower third.”

That’s one instruction, multiple actions, everything on your timeline.

Result

4K flat illustration with pastel tones and 16:9 composition, placed on timeline with 5-second default duration
