How do I choose Gemini image resolution: 1K, 2K or 4K?
Select 1K, 2K or 4K Gemini image output on TokenRex by model ID, set supported aspect ratios and compare live per-image prices.
Use the model ID
Gemini 3 Pro Image and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image use separate TokenRex model IDs for resolution: the base ID is 1K, then -2k and -4k select larger outputs.
This keeps the price clear before the request. Do not send a different image_size; TokenRex rejects a size that does not match the chosen ID.
Choose a size for its use
- Use 1K for drafts, previews and fast prompt testing.
- Use 2K for most web layouts and social images where extra detail is visible.
- Use 4K for crops, large displays or final assets that need more pixels.
- Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image is 1K only on TokenRex.
Aspect ratio
Set image_config.aspect_ratio for Gemini 3 Pro Image and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. Other image models expose different controls, so check the model page before reusing a request.
Input media resolution is a different setting from generated-image size.

Example
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_TOKENREX_KEY", base_url="https://tokenrex.ai/api/public")
image = client.images.generate(
model="gemini-3.1-flash-image-2k",
prompt="A product photo of a reusable water bottle on a marble counter",
extra_body={"image_config": {"aspect_ratio": "16:9"}},
)
print(image.data[0].b64_json[:40])Questions
- Can I request 4K with the base Gemini model ID?
- No. Choose the -4k model ID so the request and price match.
- Can Gemini generate transparent backgrounds on TokenRex?
- No transparent background control is exposed for Gemini image models through TokenRex.
