What is Dezgo?
Dezgo is an online AI image and video generator that turns text descriptions into pictures and clips in styles ranging from realistic to anime, cartoon, illustration and logo. It runs in any browser and offers text-to-image, image-to-image, ControlNet, text-based editing, inpainting, upscaling, background removal and text-to-video. Text-to-speech and voice cloning are listed as coming soon.
You pick a mode and model, type a prompt, click Run and adjust options such as negative prompts or guidance if needed. Dezgo hosts a mix of open models, including FLUX and Stable Diffusion variants, and newer third-party image and video models. The service is operated by Dezgo SAS, according to its privacy policy, and was live in October 2026 with a free version and paid Power Mode.
Key Features
- Text-to-image with many models: Dezgo generates images from prompts using model families including FLUX, Stable Diffusion 1, SDXL and XL Lightning. Newer options such as Qwen Image and Nano Banana sit alongside them, and the API lists 100+ models.
- Free core tools: Dezgo marks several tools as free, including Flux 1, XL Lightning, SD1, ControlNet, inpainting, upscaling and background removal. You can create images without paying, subject to rate limits and capped resolution.
- Image-to-image and editing: Dezgo transforms an uploaded picture with a prompt and edits images from text instructions. Inpainting lets you repaint a selected area, which helps fix faces, objects or backgrounds without starting again.
- ControlNet guidance: Dezgo’s controlled text-to-image mode uses ControlNet to follow the structure of a reference image. Designers can keep a pose, outline or layout while changing the style through the prompt.
- Video generation: Dezgo offers text-to-video and image-to-video through models such as WAN, MiniMax, Seedance, Kling and Veo. The FAQ notes that the more capable video models require paid Power Mode.
- Prompt weighting and settings: Dezgo lets you weight words with plus and minus symbols or numbers from 0 to 2. Negative prompts, guidance and other settings under More Options give finer control over results.
- Upscaling and background removal: Dezgo upscales images and removes backgrounds as separate free tools. This lets you clean up a generated picture or a photo for product shots and thumbnails in the same site.
- Developer API: Dezgo’s API at dev.dezgo.com uses the same balance and rates as Power Mode. It supports text-to-image, ControlNet, image-to-image, inpainting, upscaling, background removal and custom LoRA imports.
Pros
- Usable without paying: Dezgo lets anyone generate images for free in the browser, and Fritz reports no sign-up is needed for basic use. That makes it an easy first stop for testing prompts and styles.
- Very low per-image cost: Dezgo charges from about $0.0019 for a 512×512 image and $0.0029 for a 1024×1024 FLUX image. Occasional users avoid paying a monthly subscription for capacity they would not use.
- No subscription or expiry: Dezgo’s Power Mode is prepaid and pay-as-you-go, with no recurring charges. Your balance never expires, so a $10 top-up can last months for light use.
- Commercial rights to outputs: Dezgo states that you own the rights to your outputs, including for commercial use, subject to licence terms. That suits small businesses making social posts, mock-ups or marketing images.
- Fast results: Dezgo returns standard images quickly, with Fritz measuring generation times under five seconds. Quick turnaround makes it practical to iterate on prompts and compare models side by side.
Cons
- Free version is restricted: Dezgo’s free tier has rate limits, capped resolution and reduced quality, according to its FAQ. Powerful video models also need Power Mode, so serious work soon requires a top-up.
- No refunds: Dezgo treats every payment as final and non-refundable. The minimum Power Mode top-up is $10, so test the free version thoroughly before you add funds.
- Inconsistent faces and text: Dezgo’s older Stable Diffusion models can produce hit-or-miss faces and hands, Fritz found. Text inside images also renders poorly, which limits logo and poster work.
- Dated interface and ads: Dezgo’s interface looks outdated, according to the Fritz review, and the free version carries ads. Removing those ads and keeping a 30-day history of your images both require a Power Mode balance.
- Thin privacy detail: Dezgo’s privacy policy describes logs, IP addresses and advertising cookies but gives no clear retention period for prompts or images. Users with sensitive material should avoid uploading it.

Pricing
Dezgo is free with limits, and its optional Power Mode is a prepaid, pay-as-you-go balance with a $10 minimum top-up (official prices, October 2026).
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Free tools including Flux 1, SD1, XL Lightning, ControlNet, inpainting, upscaling and background removal, with rate limits, capped resolution and ads |
| Power Mode | Prepaid from $10, charged per request | No rate limits or size caps, no ads, 30-day history, access to premium image and video models |
| Example: 512×512 image | About $0.0019 | Standard text-to-image request |
| Example: 1024×1024 FLUX image | About $0.0029 | FLUX text-to-image request |
| Example: 1024×1024 SDXL image | About $0.0075 | SDXL text-to-image request |
| API | Same rates as Power Mode | Shared balance via dev.dezgo.com |
An older Fritz review lists credit packs from $3.49 to $19.99, which no longer matches the current $10 minimum. Exact prices change with model and settings and appear live before you run each job, so check the figure on screen.
What Makes Dezgo Unique?
Per-request pricing measured in fractions of a cent sets Dezgo apart from subscription-based generators. Most rivals sell monthly plans with credits that reset or expire, while Dezgo’s balance never expires and the free version stays available once it runs out. Combined with free ControlNet, inpainting and upscaling, plus newer paid models such as FLUX and Veo in the same interface, it gives budget users a low-commitment way to experiment.
Compatibilities and Integrations
- Platforms: Web browser on desktop and mobile, with no installation required.
- API: REST API at dev.dezgo.com sharing the Power Mode balance.
- Models and LoRAs: FLUX, Stable Diffusion, SDXL and 100+ models, with custom LoRA imports via the API.
- Payments: Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link through Stripe.

Summary
Dezgo suits hobbyists, students and small businesses who want free or very cheap AI images without a subscription. The main limitation is quality consistency on older models, along with ads and caps on the free version. Developers also get a simple pay-per-request API. Test prompts on the free FLUX and XL Lightning models first, then add the $10 minimum only when you need larger images or video.
