Freepik offers several image generation models within its AI Image Generator tool. Each model is optimized for different needs (such as speed, realism, or output quality) and consumes a specific number of credits per use. If you’re on a Premium+ or Pro plan, image generation is unlimited, regardless of the model selected. You can use any mode (including Mystic, Flux, GPT, Seedream, Google Imagen, and others) without spending credits.
This benefit applies only to image generation and editing, and excludes Character, Style, and Product LoRAs training. It does not extend to video or audio tools or the AI Assistant.
