Why GLM Image Renders Text Better
Most AI image generators produce garbled text on posters and infographics. GLM Image solves this with a hybrid architecture: autoregressive generation plans your layout and text placement, then diffusion decoding adds visual details. The result is readable typography in your generated images.
Readable Text in Generated Images
GLM Image produces posters, PPT slides, and infographics with text you can actually read. No more random symbols replacing letters. The autoregressive module understands text semantics before rendering, so 'AZURE' on a menu stays exactly that.
Edit Existing Images with Text Instructions
Upload any image and tell GLM Image what to change. Change the headline on a poster. Swap the background in a product photo. It preserves what you want and modifies only what you specify. Supports up to 4 reference images at once.
Knowledge-Intensive Image Generation
GLM Image handles complex content that requires understanding context. Generate educational diagrams, technical illustrations, or branded marketing materials. The architecture processes semantics first, ensuring accurate representation of your ideas.
How to Use GLM Image
Creating images with readable text takes under a minute. No design skills needed. Just describe what you want on your poster or infographic.
1. Choose Your Mode
Select text-to-image to create new images with text from scratch. Choose image-to-image to edit existing photos or add text overlays. GLM Image handles both modes with the same text clarity.
2. Upload Reference Images (Optional)
For image-to-image mode, upload up to 4 reference images. GLM Image uses these to understand style, composition, or elements you want to preserve. Skip this for pure text-to-image generation.
3. Describe Your Image and Text
Type what you want in the image, including any text that should appear. GLM Image understands natural language. 'A movie poster with SUMMER NIGHTS in bold letters' gives you exactly that.
4. Generate and Download
Click generate. GLM Image returns your image in seconds with all text rendered correctly. Download in JPEG or PNG. Generate up to 4 variations per request.
GLM Image Features
GLM Image is built by Zhipu AI specifically to solve the text rendering problem in AI-generated images. Open-source architecture, available through our simple interface.
Accurate Text Rendering
The primary reason to use this tool: it generates readable text. Create posters with headlines, infographics with labels, presentations with titles. The autoregressive module plans text placement before image generation begins.
Style Transfer with Text Preservation
Change the visual style of an image while keeping text intact. The model understands which elements are typography and protects them during style transformations. Convert a simple poster to vintage, neon, or minimalist styles.
