How to use Imagen 4

Choose the right ratio, write the prompt, then compare outputs against sibling tiers.

Choose this tier for prompt-led image work

Start with Imagen 4 when the brief is mainly text-to-image and the goal is to match this specific tier in its family before moving faster or higher-end.

Set the prompt, framing, and output options

Describe subject, style, and placement clearly, then choose aspect ratio or export settings before you generate so the image is judged in the right format.

Generate, review, and compare sibling tiers

Run Imagen 4, refine the prompt, and switch to a faster or more premium sibling only when the brief changes enough to justify a different model tier.

What to know before generating

Imagen 4 is best used as a prompt-led creation page. Start with a direct description of the subject, visual style, and framing, then use aspect ratio to align the image with the intended placement.

Its main advantage is not complexity but position in the lineup: it is the standard Google image path when you want more capability than Imagen 3 without jumping straight to Ultra.

Use JPG or PNG based on where the asset is going next. The simpler export settings are part of what makes Imagen 4 a practical choice for everyday content generation.
