Image and video generation models
For marketing visuals, product images, storyboards and short video.
- 7 models
Image and video models create visuals from text prompts and reference images. Businesses use them for social posts, ad variations, product mockups, storyboards and short clips. Quality has improved quickly, but brand consistency, usage rights and review remain the real work.
Not every tool offers an API. Some are only available through their own apps, which limits how they fit into an automated workflow.

How to choose
How to choose in this category
Check the license for commercial use first, then API access, then quality on your own prompts and brand references. Plan a review step for every image that reaches customers, and keep records of prompts and sources in case questions come up later.

- Natural language processing Natural language processing is the field of AI that deals with understanding and generating human language, in text or speech.
- Prompt A prompt is the instruction and context you give an AI model to get the output you want.
- Prompt engineering Prompt engineering is the practice of designing, testing and improving prompts so AI models produce reliable results for a specific task.
