Mage review
A flexible creator tool for consistent characters, image editing, and video generation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mage is a browser-based AI image and video generator for creators across skill levels. It supports text-to-image generation, reference images for consistent characters and objects, masked inpainting, refinement, relighting, enhancement, and upscaling. Character creation and reuse extends across images and videos, while ControlNet and LoRA support add options for users who need more control. Creations are private by default, and commercial use is included.
The free plan provides limited feature access and a one-time 300 Gems sign-up bonus. Basic costs $10 per month and adds unlimited generations, inpainting, Refine, and 500 monthly Gems. Pro costs $30 per month with unlimited video generation, unlimited character creation, and 1,500 monthly Gems. Pro Plus costs $60 per month and adds premium video models, enhancement up to 4K, and 3,500 monthly Gems. Max costs $200 per month with unlimited Motion Control video generation, HD premium video models, and 15,000 monthly Gems. The plan structure makes Mage accessible for exploration while reserving its more extensive video capabilities for higher tiers.
Mage runs on the web and provides API access, alongside models including Stable Diffusion, Flux, Krea, Z-Image, Mango, and Guava. Its strongest fit is for creators who need repeatable visual elements, image editing, and a path from still images into video. Reference controls and character reuse are more specialized than a simple prompt-only workflow, while inpainting and enhancement support iterative editing. The API is described as premium and in limited beta, so teams planning programmatic workflows should account for that status. Mage suits creators who value character continuity and multiple image-to-video options; users seeking a narrowly focused image tool may not need its broader feature set.
