Frames (Text to Image) in Pixio

Frames is Runway's text-to-image model built for cinematic and motion-friendly frames. It gives strong stylistic control and visual fidelity—you get up to 4 images per run, a Style picker (vivid, high-contrast, anime, sketch, in-motion, and more), aspect ratio, and Diversity (0–5) to control how much images vary. In Pixio you can add up to 3 reference images. Frames is tuned for prompts that work well when you later animate a frame with Runway Gen-3 or Gen-4 (image-to-video)—so think cinematic composition, clear subject, and consistent style.
