What is Longcat Image

Oct 24, 2025

Longcat Image is an AI image generation and editing platform built on Meituan's open LongCat-Image 6B model. Enter a text prompt describing the image you want, and the model generates high-quality, photorealistic results in seconds. You can also upload an existing image and refine it with a comprehensive set of editing tools.

What sets Longcat Image apart is its Chinese-English bilingual text rendering — text inside generated images (signage, posters, packaging, UI mockups) stays accurate and legible, including Chinese characters, where most general-purpose models struggle.

Key Capabilities

  • Text-to-image generation — describe a scene in natural language and get a photorealistic image.
  • Image-to-image editing — upload a reference image and transform, restyle, or refine it.
  • Superior Chinese-English text rendering — industry-leading accuracy and stability for in-image text, in both languages.
  • Efficient 6B-parameter model — high output quality without the cost and latency of much larger models.
  • 15+ editing tools — a comprehensive toolkit for practical image manipulation.

How It Works

  1. Sign in and open the AI Image Generator.
  2. Choose text-to-image or image-to-image mode.
  3. Write your prompt (English or Chinese), or upload a reference image.
  4. Generate, preview the results, and download the image you like.

Each generation consumes credits from your account. New users receive starter credits on sign-up, and you can top up at any time on the pricing page.

Why It Matters

Most AI image tools produce garbled text the moment a prompt asks for words on a sign or a label. Longcat Image is purpose-built around accurate bilingual text rendering, making it especially useful for creators and businesses working across Chinese and English markets — without sacrificing the photorealism you expect from a modern generative model.
