FAQ
Is Jimeng AI free?
It gives daily free credits — enough for a few images or short animations; heavier use or higher resolution needs top-ups. The free quota is fine for beginners practicing.
How do I generate images with Jimeng?
Open Jimeng, describe the scene in Chinese (e.g. a cartoon orange cat wearing sunglasses) and hit generate. You can also upload a reference image to control the style; results take seconds.
Jimeng vs Midjourney?
Jimeng is free, Chinese-friendly and China-accessible — great for beginners; Midjourney has top-tier quality but is paid, needs a VPN, and takes prompt skill. Start with Jimeng, move to Midjourney for ultimate quality.
