Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Z Image for commercial projects?

Unlike some models with commercial restrictions, Z Image offers genuine freedom. Self hosting provides complete data sovereignty. Teams can modify and redistribute without disclosure requirements.

Does Z Image support video generation?

Can Z Image edit photos of real people?

Yes, using the Edit variant. You can modify photos while preserving identity, such as changing background, adjusting lighting, or modifying clothing. However, restrictions prevent generating realistic images of public figures, creating misleading or deceptive content, or violating privacy for recognizable individuals. Use responsibly and ethically. Built in safety filters prevent harmful content generation.

Does it work in languages beyond English?

Prompts work in multiple languages, but English and the second supported language produce the best results due to training data distribution. Text rendering within images works best for Latin and certain character sets. For other languages in images, results may vary in quality. The model was specifically optimized for bilingual performance in its two core languages.

What content restrictions apply?

Built in safety guardrails prevent explicit adult content, violence or gore, deepfakes of public figures, illegal activities, and violations of intellectual property. Prompt filtering blocks harmful keywords. Output moderation flags inappropriate images. Teams can disable these on self hosted deployments at their own legal responsibility. Ethical guidelines recommend disclosing AI generated content, avoiding misleading imagery, and respecting intellectual property laws.
