FAQ

What is the optimal resolution for AI image generation?

Different models have different optimal resolutions: DALL-E 3 supports 1024×1024(square), 1792×1024(landscape), 1024×1792(portrait); Midjourney V6 defaults to 1024×1024, supports up to 2048×2048; Stable Diffusion XL recommends 1024×1024. Using non-native resolutions may reduce quality.

Is higher resolution always better quality?

Not necessarily. Each model has a native training resolution; exceeding it may cause repetitive patterns or blurriness. It's recommended to stay within the model's native resolution range and use upscale post-processing for detail enhancement — more cost-effective.

Is there a big cost difference between resolutions?

Significant difference. For DALL-E 3: 1024×1024 standard quality is $0.040/image, 1792×1024 HD quality is $0.080/image — double the cost. Choosing appropriate resolution for batch generation can significantly reduce costs.

How to choose the right aspect ratio?

Choose by use case: social media avatars use 1:1 square; web banners use 16:9 or 2:1 landscape; phone wallpapers use 9:16 portrait; product images use 4:3 or 3:4. Choosing ratios close to the model's native proportion reduces distortion.

How to optimize costs for batch generation?

Recommendations: 1) Iterate ideas quickly with low resolution first; 2) Use high resolution for final refinement; 3) Use native model resolutions to avoid extra processing; 4) Batch API calls for discounts; 5) Consider open-source model local deployment for long-term cost reduction.
