How much does it cost?

It depends on the model and the settings, and the exact price is on the Generate button before you start. The lowest here is Seedream 5.0 Pro: from 1.25 credits per image. A thumbnail that fails costs nothing: its credits come back automatically.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. The free plan gives 20 credits every month with no card, enough for 16 images with Seedream 5.0 Pro.

Can I put my face in it?

Only photos you have the right to use, and never to make someone appear to do what they did not. See the Acceptable Use Policy.

Tips

One face, one object and one short line of text: thumbnails are seen small.
Ask for high contrast and a plain background behind the text.
Make three versions and test them on your channel.
