Notes
- Gemini 3 Pro Image requires paid billing (no free tier)
- Generated images include SynthID watermarking
- Reference images enable style transfer and editing capabilities
- No text by default: The script automatically adds "no text/typography" instructions unless your prompt explicitly mentions text, typography, words, or labels. To include text, add words like "with text overlay" or "include typography" to your prompt.
