Image generation problems
Image generation costs 3 credits per image and supports two aspect ratios: square (for icons) and 16:9 (for banners). Most failures are either a credits shortage, a moderation rejection, or a vague prompt.
Symptom: "Not enough credits"
You have fewer than 3 credits available.
Fix steps
- Open the credit activity log to see your current balance.
- Top up at /store — credit packs start at 200 credits for $9.99 and never expire.
- Or upgrade to a subscription plan for monthly credits (200/mo on Developer, 700/mo on Studio).
See credits and billing for full plan details.
Symptom: prompt was rejected by moderation
The chat tells you the prompt couldn't be generated due to content policy.
Fix steps
- Reword without violent, sexual, or hateful content.
- Avoid real public figures or copyrighted characters.
- Describe the visual style and scene, not the action — "a knight standing in a forest at dawn" instead of more graphic phrasing.
Tip: If you genuinely think your prompt was rejected by mistake, rephrase once. If it still fails, the moderation pipeline has decided — try a different angle on the same idea.
Symptom: image looks generic or off-style
Vague prompts produce vague images.
Fix steps
Add more detail across these axes:
- Subject — what's in the image, in concrete terms
- Style — flat / 3D-rendered / pixel-art / hand-drawn / photoreal
- Palette — colors, contrast, mood
- Composition — center, top-down, side-view, close-up
- Aspect ratio — square for icons, 16:9 for banners
Example: instead of "a sword", try "a glowing blue rune-engraved longsword, isometric 3D render, dark background, gold highlights, square aspect ratio."
Symptom: image is taking too long
Image generation typically completes in 5-30 seconds.
Fix steps
- If it's running past 60 seconds, check service status at revix.tech.
- Refresh the page — image streaming is resumable like text streaming, you won't be charged twice.
Aspect ratios
