Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, MuseCat offers free credits on signup. New users get bonus credits to try AI image generation, AI chat and more — no payment method required upfront.

MuseCat deploys behind a Singapore-backed CDN with Tencent Cloud COS for image storage. Overseas models like Gemini are accessed via dedicated proxy — users in mainland China do not need any VPN or extra setup.

Fully supported. MuseCat is a responsive web app — image generation, video, chat all work on mobile browsers. Inside WeChat, users can pay via WeChat Pay and sign in with WeChat OAuth.

Yes — MuseCat ships as a Progressive Web App. On iPhone, tap "Add to Home Screen" in Safari; on Android, tap "Install App" in Chrome. Once installed, you get a native-feel app icon with shortcuts to Image, Video and Chat.

MuseCat integrates leading models across modalities. Image generation: Gemini 3.0 Pro (Nano Banana Pro), Gemini 2.5 Flash, Nano Banana 2, Doubao Seedream 5.0, GPT Image 1.5 / 2, plus custom ComfyUI workflows. AI chat: Gemini family, Doubao, GPT-5.4 / GPT-5.4 mini. Video generation: Seedance 2.0.

In the bottom generation bar on the home page, open the model dropdown and select "Nano Banana Pro" (which is Gemini 3.0 Pro). Enter your prompt and hit Generate. Gemini 3.0 Pro excels at complex scenes, multi-subject composition and accurate text rendering — it costs more credits than baseline models.

Nano Banana Pro is the internal codename for Google's Gemini 3.0 Pro Image — one of the most-watched AI image models of 2025-2026, known for complex multi-subject composition, world knowledge and high-fidelity text rendering. MuseCat integrates it directly; you can try it with free signup credits, no Google Cloud account required.

Yes. MuseCat ships with OpenAI's newest GPT Image 2 model — pick "GPT Image 2" from the model dropdown in the bottom bar. The previous-generation GPT Image 1.5 is also available for side-by-side comparison or fallback.

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image model — meaningfully better than 1.5 at text rendering, complex scene understanding and long-prompt alignment. It shines for posters, UI mockups and product shots that need crisp typography. GPT Image 1.5 remains a strong cost-performance pick for everyday creation. Both share the same API key in MuseCat — switch any time.

Image generation: GPT Image 1.5 and GPT Image 2. AI chat: GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini. All OpenAI calls go through a managed proxy, so users in mainland China can use them without VPN. New accounts get free credits to start.

MuseCat and Midjourney target different needs. MuseCat is multi-model (Google Gemini, ByteDance Doubao, OpenAI etc.) with a Chinese interface, WeChat Pay support, pay-as-you-go credits, plus video generation, AI chat and a template hub. Midjourney is the gold standard for nuanced artistic style. For mainland China users or multi-model comparison workflows, MuseCat is more convenient.

Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance) and Sora 2 (OpenAI) each have strengths. Seedance 2.0 leads on Chinese cultural content, character motion continuity and first/last-frame completion, and is fully open to users in mainland China — already integrated in MuseCat. Sora 2 is stronger for longer cinematic clips but has higher access barriers. MuseCat is evaluating Sora 2 and other overseas models for future integration.

Three ways: (1) sign up — bonus credits are auto-granted; (2) redemption codes from official channels and events; (3) invite friends to earn referral credits. Limited-time bonuses also roll out from time to time.

Yes. MuseCat is integrated with WeChat Pay — users in China can scan a QR code on the pricing page or pay with one-tap JSAPI inside WeChat. Order status syncs in real time.

Credit cost scales with model and resolution. Roughly: 1K standard ≈ 5-10 credits, 2K HD ≈ 15-25 credits, 4K Ultra HD ≈ 30-50 credits per image. The exact cost shows live in the generation bar before you commit.

MuseCat supports common aspect ratios (1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16 and more) and resolutions from 0.5K up to 4K — covering avatars, social posts, posters, wallpapers and e-commerce product shots.

Usually 10-30 seconds. Specifics depend on model and resolution: Nano Banana 2 takes ~8-15s; Gemini 3.0 Pro and 4K Ultra HD take ~20-40s. Batch jobs and queued runs may take longer.

Through prompts, MuseCat supports virtually every mainstream style: photorealistic, anime, oil/watercolor painting, 3D render, pixel art, vector illustration, film poster, concept design and more. The Template Hub offers curated styles with one-click generation.

Yes. MuseCat integrates Seedance 2.0 and other video models — text-to-video, image-to-video and first/last-frame completion are all supported, with multiple resolution and duration options. Free trial credits apply to video too.

Yes. With GPT Image 1.5 / GPT Image 2, set "Background: Transparent" in the generation bar — the output PNG includes an alpha channel, ready for product shots, stickers and logo cutouts without manual masking.

Yes. The Batch Generate feature accepts an Excel upload — every row becomes a task, queued automatically. When all complete, download everything as a single ZIP. Ideal for e-commerce sellers and content creators producing assets at scale.

Yes. Drop or paste up to 14 reference images into the generation bar — the AI synthesizes their style, composition and color into new outputs. Gemini, Doubao Seedream and ComfyUI all support image-to-image, perfect for product variants, outfit changes and style transfer.

Fully supported. All integrated image and video models accept mixed Chinese/English prompts. For Chinese aesthetics (guofeng, hanfu, ink painting) Chinese works best; for international styles (cyberpunk, fantasy, photorealism) mixing English with Chinese tends to give the strongest results.
