Imagen 4

by Google

Imagen 4 is Google's flagship text-to-image model, delivering significant improvements in text rendering over prior generations. It supports image generation at up to 2K resolution and produces visually coherent, detailed results across diverse subjects and styles. Distinguished by its refined text handling, Imagen 4 renders readable text directly in images across multiple languages, a substantial step up from earlier image generators. It balances quality and speed for most creative workflows, from social media assets to product visualization. All Imagen 4 family outputs carry imperceptible SynthID watermarks for transparency and responsible AI tracking.

Uptime and availability

Imagen 4 runs on a single route through the Opper gateway today, so its availability is that provider's availability.

99.00%route uptime, last 30 days
Single route, no failover target within this model.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. Set up a fallback chain.

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.

Get started

Call Imagen 4 through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly — Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up Opper for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPPER_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.opper.ai/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gemini/imagen-4.0-generate-001",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
