ImageFX 2025 Updates: New Models, Features & Pricing Changes
We've been busy. 2025 started with some major updates to ImageFX that I'm genuinely excited about. Not the usual "we fixed some bugs" changelog—these are changes that actually matter.
January 2025: The Big Ones
New Model: Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra
Released: January 8, 2025
This wasn't planned for Q1, but when we got early access to Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra, we couldn't wait. The quality jump is ridiculous.
What changed:
- 4K native resolution (finally)
- 40% faster generation than Flux 1.1 Pro
- Better text rendering (actually readable now)
- Same 2-credit cost as regular Flux
Real talk: I tested it with 50 generations before launch. The text-in-image capability alone is worth it. No more gibberish in posters.
Video Generation Speed Boost
Released: January 15, 2025
Veo 3.1 generation time dropped from 45 seconds to 28 seconds average. We optimized the queue system and upgraded our infrastructure.
Impact:
- 37% faster video generation
- Better handling during peak hours
- No quality loss
Why it matters: When you're generating 10+ videos for a project, those 17 seconds per video add up. That's 3 minutes saved per 10 videos.
Pricing Adjustment (The Good Kind)
Effective: January 20, 2025
We reduced credits for several models:
| Model | Old Cost | New Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| SDXL Lightning | 2 credits | 1 credit | 50% |
| Imagen 4 | 3 credits | 2 credits | 33% |
| SeeDance 1 Lite | 63 credits | 50 credits | 21% |
Why: API costs dropped, so we passed the savings to you. Simple as that.
December 2024: Foundation Updates
Image-to-Video with Veo 3.1
Released: December 18, 2024
Turn any image into a 5-second video. Upload a product photo, get a rotating 3D view. Upload a landscape, get cinematic camera movement.
Use cases we've seen:
- Product demos (huge for e-commerce)
- Social media content
- Presentation animations
- Creative transitions
Cost: 65 credits per video (same as text-to-video)
Batch Generation
Released: December 10, 2024
Generate up to 4 images at once. Same prompt, different variations.
Before: Generate one image, wait, evaluate, generate another, wait... After: Generate 4 at once, pick the best one.
Time saved: About 60% on average when testing prompts.
History & Gallery
Released: December 5, 2024
All your generations are saved automatically. Search by prompt, filter by type (image/video), delete what you don't need.
Storage: Unlimited for all users Search: Full-text search through prompts Export: Download originals anytime
November 2024: The Launch Month
ImageFX Pro Model
Released: November 20, 2024
Our flagship photorealism model. Built for professional use.
Specs:
- Up to 2K resolution
- 2 credits per image
- Best for: portraits, product shots, realistic scenes
Fun fact: 73% of our Pro subscribers use this as their default model.
Credit System
Released: November 15, 2024
Instead of "X images per month," you get credits. Use them however you want.
Why credits:
- Different models cost different amounts
- More flexibility
- No "use it or lose it" pressure
- Clearer pricing
Pricing:
- Basic: 300 credits/month ($11.99)
- Pro: 1,500 credits/month ($27.99)
- Max: 4,000 credits/month ($55.99)
