Chrome ExtensionMAI-Image-2.5 Prompt Generator
Generate optimized prompts for Microsoft AI's MAI-Image-2.5 — the diffusion + flow-matching model that ranked #2 for image editing and #3 for text-to-image on Arena. Built for photorealism, accurate in-image text, identity-preserving portraits, and surgical localized edits, with Generate and Edit modes and anti-slop rules baked in.
Be specific: describe who/what is in the image with details
Quick Palettes
Generated Prompt
Fill in the form and click "Generate" to create an optimized MAI-Image-2.5 prompt.
Tip: Be as specific as possible with your subject description. Instead of "a dog," try "a golden retriever puppy with a red bandana."
MAI-Image-2.5 Tips
- • Structure: Scene → Subject → Key Details → Composition/Camera → Lighting → Style → Constraints
- • Anti-slop: swap "stunning/masterpiece/8K" for concrete facts ("overcast daylight", "50mm feel", "brushed aluminum")
- • In-image text is a MAI-Image-2.5 strength — quote the literal text and specify font, color, size, and placement
- • For edits, say "Change only X, keep everything else identical" and list what to preserve — MAI-Image-2.5 edits surgically
- • For people, ask it to preserve facial identity across pose/expression/viewpoint changes
- • No negative-prompt field — fold exclusions into plain words ("no watermark, no duplicate text")
- • Output is PNG up to 1024×1024; pick Flash for fast, cheap drafts and the full model for final fidelity
How to Use the Prompt Generator
Pick Mode & Describe Your Vision
Choose Generate or Edit and a model variant (full or Flash). Pick a use case (product photo, portrait, slide graphic, logo, retouch, etc.), then describe your scene and subject, set style, composition and lighting, and add any text that must appear in the image. For edits, fill in the “Preserve” field so face, layout, and brand elements stay locked.
Generate Your Prompt
Click Generate. The tool orders your inputs the way MAI-Image-2.5 prefers, swaps vague praise for concrete visual facts, quotes in-image text with font and placement directives, and adds a “Change only X, keep everything else identical” instruction plus a preserve list when you're editing.
Copy & Create
Paste into Microsoft Foundry, the MAI Playground, OpenRouter (model “microsoft/mai-image-2.5”), or Copilot / Bing Image Creator. For iterative edits, reuse the prompt as a base and make one small change at a time, repeating the preserve list each round to prevent drift.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MAI-Image-2.5?
MAI-Image-2.5 is Microsoft AI's in-house image model (model version 2026-06-02), built by the Microsoft AI Superintelligence team. It is a diffusion model trained with a flow-matching objective that handles both text-to-image generation and precise image-to-image editing. At launch it ranked #2 for image editing and #3 for text-to-image on the Arena (LMArena) leaderboards — ahead of Imagen Ultra 4.0, FLUX-2-max, and Seedream-4.5, and behind OpenAI's gpt-image-2 and Google's nano-banana-2. A cheaper, faster MAI-Image-2.5-Flash variant launched alongside it.
How does this prompt generator work?
You fill in structured inputs — scene, subject, style, composition, lighting, intended use, mode, and constraints. Our AI assembles them into MAI-Image-2.5's preferred order (Scene → Subject → Details → Composition/Camera → Lighting → Style → Constraints), strips out vague "slop" words in favor of concrete visual facts, formats in-image text correctly, and adds a preserve list when you're editing — so the prompt drops straight into Foundry, the MAI Playground, OpenRouter, or Copilot.
What is MAI-Image-2.5 best at?
Three things stand out: (1) surgical localized editing — replacing an object, updating in-image text, removing motion blur, or inpainting without changing the rest of the image; (2) facial-identity preservation — keeping a person recognizable across pose, expression, and viewpoint changes; and (3) photorealism with accurate in-image text rendering. That makes it strong for branding, product shots, portraits, presentations, and retouching existing images.
What is the difference between Generate and Edit mode?
Generate creates a brand-new image from a text description. Edit modifies an existing image you upload — write the instruction as "Change only X, keep everything else identical," then list what to preserve (face, layout, lighting, brand text). MAI-Image-2.5 is specifically tuned for these targeted, surgical edits, so being explicit about what stays the same gives the cleanest results.
How good is text rendering in MAI-Image-2.5?
In-image text is one of its core strengths. To get the best results, put the exact text in double quotes, specify the font style, weight, color, and size, and state where it should sit in the frame. Keep the text short and spell unusual brand names out letter-by-letter. This is why it is wired into PowerPoint — it can render readable headlines and labels directly inside a generated graphic.
Where can I use the prompts, and how do I access MAI-Image-2.5?
MAI-Image-2.5 is available through Microsoft Foundry / Azure AI Foundry (REST endpoints /mai/v1/images/generations and /edits, model id "MAI-Image-2.5"), the MAI Playground, OpenRouter (model "microsoft/mai-image-2.5"), and fal.ai, plus product integrations in PowerPoint (live), OneDrive (rolling out), and Bing Image Creator / Copilot. The prompts this tool produces also work well on other modern image models thanks to their concrete, structured language.
How much does MAI-Image-2.5 cost?
Pricing is token-based, not per image. MAI-Image-2.5 is $5 per 1M text-input tokens, $8 per 1M image-input tokens, and $47 per 1M image-output tokens. The cheaper MAI-Image-2.5-Flash is $1.75 / $1.75 / $19.50 per 1M tokens. Use Flash for fast, low-cost drafts and the full model for final fidelity. (This prompt generator itself is free.)
Does MAI-Image-2.5 support negative prompts and what resolution does it output?
There is no separate negative-prompt parameter — phrase exclusions in plain language inside the prompt ("no watermark, no duplicate text, no extra fingers"), which our generator does for you. Output is PNG, up to 1024×1024 pixels for the MAI-Image family.
