Runway
Runway Gen4 Image generates cinematic-quality stills at 720p or 1080p with reference image support and element tagging. Designed for storyboard-to-production workflows where generated frames feed into Runway video models.
Runway Gen4 Image extends Runway's video-focused AI capabilities into still image generation. It produces images with a cinematic, film-grade aesthetic — natural depth of field, filmic color grading, and dramatic lighting that pairs naturally with Runway's Gen4 Turbo video model. The model offers 720p and 1080p resolution output across 6 aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 7:3, 4:3, 3:4, 9:16), making it suitable for both widescreen cinematic frames and vertical mobile content. Reference image support lets you maintain character, wardrobe, and set consistency across a scene sequence. Element tagging provides spatial control over composition — tag specific objects or regions for the model to emphasize. At 7 credits (720p) or 12 credits (1080p) per image, it's positioned as a premium tool for production-quality key frames rather than rapid iteration.
