Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the AI hero image generator on NightCafe

Is the hero image generator free to use?

Yes. NightCafe provides free daily credits so you can generate hero images without entering a credit card. Paid plans offer more daily credits and premium features if you need to produce hero images at higher volume.

Which AI models can I use to generate hero images?

NightCafe gives you access to 30+ models including Nano Banana, GPT Image, Flux, Seedream, and more. Each model handles lighting, texture, and composition differently, so trying a couple of options often surfaces the style that best fits your website or brand.

What aspect ratio should I use for a website hero image?

Most website hero banners use a 16:9 or 4:3 ratio to span the full width of a browser viewport. NightCafe lets you select your preferred aspect ratio before generating, so the output fits your layout without cropping or stretching.

Can I use AI-generated hero images commercially?

Yes, including on the free plan. NightCafe transfers copyright assignment to you as the creator, so you can use your hero images on client websites, product landing pages, and commercial campaigns. You should own or have permission to use any reference images you upload. Because AI copyright law is still evolving and varies by country, it is worth checking the rules in your own jurisdiction.

How does NightCafe compare to Midjourney or Adobe Firefly for hero images?

NightCafe brings 30+ models together in one place, whereas Midjourney and Adobe Firefly each offer a single generation engine. You can compare results from Flux, GPT Image, Seedream, and more side by side, then share your hero images in NightCafe's creative community for feedback and inspiration.

Can I upload a brand photo or sketch and turn it into a hero image?

Yes. NightCafe's image-to-image feature lets you upload an existing photo, illustration, or rough layout and use it as a reference. Adjust the influence strength to keep your brand's composition while shifting the style into something polished and hero-ready.
