What's the difference between Lightning and Premium mode?

imghero offers two generation modes to balance speed, quality, and cost.

Lightning Mode (1 credit per image)

• Fast generation optimized for quick iterations
• Great for exploring ideas and drafting visuals
• Uses efficient AI models tuned for speed
• Best for: prototyping, testing different styles, high-volume generation

Premium Mode (10 credits per image)

• Higher quality output with more refined details
• Uses advanced AI models matched to your chosen style
• Enhanced prompt optimization for better results
• Best for: final production images, hero visuals, social previews

When to use each:

Start with Lightning mode to explore styles and find the right look. Once you’ve settled on a direction, switch to Premium for your final image. This workflow lets you iterate quickly without burning through credits, then get polished results when it matters.

You can select the mode using the toggle above the Generate button.
