Models and services
The models behind the canvas
RED PIXEL sends each step to a third-party AI model, except our own Precise and Creative upscales, which run on GPUs we rent. You choose the model on the card, and the price in credits is shown before you run it. You never need your own API keys.
Free to sign up. Members we have invited to our closed beta generate now; everyone else from launch day, and we’ll email you.

- Images up to 6256 × 2688; GPT Image sizes above 2560 × 1440 are marked experimental on the card.
- Pictures in: how many pictures one Image Generator run takes — the scene, plus references such as people or objects.
- Inpaint: the sizes the model re-renders the painted area at, before it goes back into your photo (photos up to 40 megapixels).
- One image: a render at the model’s cheapest size with one input picture. Other sizes and extra references can cost more; every card shows its exact price before you run it, and the pricing page lists the common sizes.

Video models
The Video Generator turns a frame, or a written shot, into a 3–30 s clip with Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5, and Kling 3.0, priced per clip before you run it.
| Model | Clip length | Quality | Starts from | One clip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0ByteDance · via RunwareImage-to-video: bring a frame to life | 4–15 s | 720p and 1080p | A start frame, and an end frameor a written shot | from 127 credits |

- One clip: the shortest clip, without sound, at the model’s cheapest quality. Longer clips, higher quality and sound can cost more; the card shows the exact price before you run it, and the pricing page lists clips of 5 and 10 seconds.

Tools that run on them
Each tool is a card on the canvas. Where a card offers a model, you pick it there; every paid button shows its price before you run it.

Your data and the model providers
- When you run a step, we send that step’s prompt and input images to the provider of the model you picked — nothing else from your projects.
- Runware passes each request on to the model’s maker: Google for Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro; ByteDance for Seedream 5.0 Pro, Seedance 2.0, and Seedance 2.5; Black Forest Labs for FLUX.2 [pro] and FLUX 3 Image; Kuaishou for Kling 3.0.
- We don’t use your uploads, prompts or results to train models, and the providers we use don’t train on data sent through their paid APIs under their terms. We haven’t yet confirmed the same for the makers Runware passes requests on to (Google, ByteDance, Black Forest Labs, and Kuaishou).
- To detect abuse, OpenAI and Google may keep request data for a limited time (OpenAI: up to 30 days; Google: up to 55 days). We ask Runware to delete the results it makes for us after 24 hours, through the setting its documentation provides; how long it keeps its own record of a request, and what the model’s maker keeps, follow their own terms. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
- Precise and Creative run our own upscaling models on GPUs we rent from Modal Labs in the EU. Modal processes your image only to run the job, under a data processing agreement, and keeps nothing afterwards. No third-party AI model provider sees it.
- Your originals and results stay in your account until you delete them. The image files of a deleted project stay in storage until you close your account or ask us to remove them (see the Privacy Policy).
AI-generated content
- Everything RED PIXEL generates is made by AI.
- Some models add machine-readable provenance data to their images (OpenAI uses C2PA). Later editing steps can remove it.
- Google adds an invisible SynthID watermark to every Nano Banana image.
- Video clips are stored exactly as the model delivers them, so provenance data its maker adds stays in the file; RED PIXEL adds no mark of its own.
- Our own Creative upscale marks its results in the file’s metadata (IPTC digital source type).
- Don’t remove or alter AI marks from results.
- If you publish realistic images or video of people or places that could be mistaken for real, EU law requires you to say they are AI-generated.
