Use prompt in generatorWhy this launch surface works
High-quality states for a free, capacity-aware generator.
Accounts optional
Open the page, write a prompt, and start with the shared free queue; sign in only to save history.
One image
Every generation returns exactly 1 image so the free queue stays fair.
Visible wait
The interface shows queue position, elapsed time, and cap status instead of hiding delays.
Prompt control
Style chips and examples help shape lighting, composition, and use case.
Saved history
Anonymous prompts stay on this device, while signed-in generations save to your account.
Capacity-aware
When the 100 images/hour pool is full, your prompt stays intact and the timer explains when to retry.
Future options
Quality and priority surfaces are placeholders only.
This release does not enable checkout, credit packs, paid bypass, or pricing changes. Coming-soon cards show where future policy-approved options could live while keeping today’s generator free and honest.
FAQ
FreeImageAI launch questions
Do I need an account?
No. You can generate anonymously with temporary local history, or create an account to save history across devices.
Why one image per generation?
One output keeps the shared queue fair and aligns with the backend provider contract.
What happens when the global cap is full?
The UI keeps your prompt, shows the shared hourly limit state, and lets you retry when slots reopen.
