# Image Generation Options

### Number of images

With our image generation API, you can generate up to 4 images with one request.

```json
{
    "options": {
        "number_of_images": 4
    }
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Every generated image charges 1 credit. So, setting <mark style="color:purple;">`number_of_images`</mark> to 4 will charge 4 credits per request.
{% endhint %}

### Guidance scale

The guidance scale controls how closely the generated images match your prompt. You may adjust this scale to gain more control over the output.

{% hint style="info" %}
Values between 5 and 7 usually provide good results, but a value of 12 may offer greater precision.
{% endhint %}

Note that adjusting this scale may affect image quality and diversity.

```json
{
    "options": {
        "guidance_scale": 5.0
    }
}
```
