Workflow on Mivo
Open Generate Studio and switch to the AI Image tab. Select Z-Image Turbo from the model list, choose your aspect ratio and resolution, then write your prompt.
Generate multiple images in parallel with different seeds for variety. The studio supports up to 5 concurrent jobs per model, so you can iterate quickly and pick the best result.
Once satisfied, download your image or publish it directly to your Mivo profile. All generated images are archived in your generation history for easy access.
Prompt guidance
Z-Image Turbo responds well to descriptive, detailed prompts. Include subject, setting, lighting, mood, camera angle, and style references. Be specific about the final image you want, not the process of creating it.
The model generates from text prompts only — focus on describing the visual outcome you want with as much detail as possible.

Best practices
Start with 1K for drafting and iteration. It is faster and cheaper, allowing you to explore multiple concepts before committing to higher resolution output for final production.
For text-to-image generation, experiment with different prompt phrasings and seeds to explore creative variations. The model produces diverse results from the same prompt with different seeds.
Always verify text rendering in generated images. While Z-Image Turbo has good text capabilities, complex phrases and non-English text may still require post-processing with image editing tools for pixel-perfect results.
Pricing
3 credits for 1K, 4 credits for 2K per image — the cheapest on Mivo. Credit-based pricing on Mivo offers significant savings compared to accessing the Custom (RunPod) API directly.
