Z Image is a text-to-image model routed through fal.ai for fast, flexible concept generation. ### Does Z Image accept a source image? No. The current Made configuration is text-to-image only. ### Which formats can it return? The configured provider contract supports PNG, JPG, and WebP. Made defaults to PNG for this workflow. ### Why can generation take longer than expected? Made submits this model through fal.ai’s queue, so wait time depends on current provider capacity as well as selected settings. ### Is Z Image reliable for poster text? It produced the requested main headline in our benchmark but also added small unwanted copy, so final typography needs review. ### When should I choose a different model? Compare Flux 1.1 Pro for general high-detail generation or a Kontext model when the job starts from an existing image. --- Markdown version of https://www.made.app/models/z-image.
