Runway Gen-4 Image

Runway's Gen-4 image model with strong prompt adherence and tag-based reference images for consistent characters, styles, and scenes.

Gen-4 Image is a cloud image-generation model built by Runway. It generates images from a text prompt, and can take reference images to guide style or composition (image-to-image). It outputs up to 1080p across 6 aspect ratios. Fine controls include a seed for reproducible results; images can be saved as PNG, JPEG, and WebP. It runs through Runware, Replicate, and Runway using your own API key, from about $0.08 per image.

Examples

Generated with Gen-4 Image via Runware. The same three prompts run against every model in the catalog, first result kept, so the only thing that changes between two models’ tiles is the model.
