Z-Image Base

Z-Image Base is a text-to-image model from Tongyi-MAI that produces photorealistic imagery. A written description defines the scene, while an optional reference image provides visual direction for the composition, style, or subject.

Reference guidance makes it useful when a project already has an established look. The influence of the reference can be adjusted, allowing the result to follow an existing image closely or give more weight to the written concept. This supports exploration around a visual starting point.

What it's good for

Designers can develop campaign concepts from a mood image, explore photographic treatments for an editorial brief, or create illustrations for blog posts and social content. Text-only generation suits early concept work, while reference-guided generation helps develop variations around a chosen aesthetic. The combination supports both initial visual exploration and further development of an approved direction.
