## Frequently asked questions

### Can Mistral Large 3, Medium 3.5 and Small 4 generate images?

These multimodal models accept images and text and return text answers. Use them to describe photos, read visible text, write image prompts or answer visual questions. To create a picture, choose Mistral Image Generation, which uses Mistral’s hosted image-generation tool.

### What does Multimodal mean on this page?

Multimodal means that the model can understand more than one kind of input. Here, you can combine a picture with a written instruction. The result from Small 4, Large 3 or Medium 3.5 is text, so your original photo stays unchanged.

### How much does each Mistral request cost?

One image-understanding request costs 1 credit with Small 4, 1 credit with Large 3 or 3 credits with Medium 3.5. Mistral Image Generation costs 10 credits for one image. Credits are reserved when you submit and returned if the request fails. A new question or a new generation is a separate request.

### Which pictures can I upload?

Upload one PNG, JPG or WebP up to 12 MB. Your browser converts it to a still JPEG and resizes its longest edge to 1024 pixels before sending it. Each analysis returns one answer of up to 2,048 output tokens. For small text, crop to the relevant area first. Check transcriptions against your original image.

### Which image model powers Mistral Image Generation?

This feature calls the image_generation tool hosted by Mistral. Mistral describes its image generation as powered by Black Forest Labs. The tool’s underlying image model is managed by Mistral; this page does not promise a selectable FLUX version, resolution or image editing.

### Where are my answers and images saved?

Your results are private to your signed-in account and appear in History. Free account results are retained for 7 days; Pro results for 365 days. Input images are saved with each run so you can review or reuse them. Deleting a run removes its saved inputs and results. Mistral processes the image and prompt to answer your request; its processing terms also apply.
