# ImageFX Alternative > ImageFX no longer exists as its own tool: Google moved Whisk and ImageFX into Flow (announced 25 Feb 2026), and the old ImageFX link now redirects to flow.google.com. If Flow suits you, use it. If you want an ImageFX alternative with Google's own Nano Banana 2.1 plus 80+ other models, editing and video in one account, Kenerate AI is free to start with 25 credits and has no subscription required — packs start at $15 for 1,300 credits that never expire.

In February 2026 Google said the best of both were moving into Flow, its creative studio for video and images, with Nano Banana built in and images reusable as frames for Veo video. Whisk's own move date was 30 April 2026, and the ImageFX address now forwards to Flow. So the honest answer to "ImageFX alternative" starts with Google: if you liked ImageFX, Flow is its home now. ### When a different studio makes more sense Flow comes with Google's rules: 18+ with a verified age, supported countries only, and credits that reset each day or month. An alternative is worth it if: - You're outside Flow's supported countries. - You want to compare Google's Nano Banana with GPT Image 2, Seedream or Flux 2 on the same prompt. - You'd rather buy credits once than work to a daily or monthly allowance. - You need edits, 4K upscaling and longer video (up to 30 s on Seedance 2.5) in one account. ### How we compared Every Google fact on this page comes from Google's own blog and Flow help pages, read on 31 October 2026 and linked below. Google's two help pages differ on whether a plan is needed for Flow, so we quote both. Kenerate facts come from our model and pricing code. Plans change; check Google's pages before you decide. ## FAQ Q: What happened to ImageFX? A: Google moved it into Flow. On 25 February 2026 Google wrote that "the best capabilities from our image generation experiments — Whisk and ImageFX — are moving directly into Flow", with an opt-in transfer of ImageFX projects from March. When we checked on 31 October 2026, the old ImageFX address redirected to flow.google.com. Q: What is the best ImageFX alternative? A: If you want Google's own tool, its successor is Flow. If you want Google's image models without Flow's plan, age and country rules, Kenerate runs Nano Banana 2.1, Nano Banana 2 and Veo 3.1 alongside 80+ other models, with editing and video in one account and no subscription required. New accounts get 25 credits. Q: Is ImageFX still free? A: ImageFX itself is gone; Flow replaced it. Google's February 2026 post says you can generate images for free in Flow, and its credits page says every user gets 50 Flow credits a day, with more on Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra. Google's access page also lists those plans and an 18+ verified-age rule, so check Google's pages for your account. Q: Does Kenerate have Google's image models? A: Yes. Kenerate offers Nano Banana 2.1 (21 credits at 1K, 42 at 4K, up to 14 reference images), Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 Fast and the original Nano Banana. For video it has Google's Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast, 4 to 8 seconds up to 4K, on paid plans. Q: Did ImageFX use Imagen or Nano Banana? A: ImageFX launched in February 2024 as a Google Labs experiment on Imagen 2, and Google later moved it to Imagen 3. Flow, its replacement, has Nano Banana built into the core experience, according to Google's February 2026 post. Kenerate offers the Nano Banana family; for other styles it runs GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Flux 2 and more. Q: Is Flow available in my country? A: Not everywhere. Google says Flow is not yet available in all countries and that VPNs will not enable access in unsupported regions; users must also be 18 or older with a verified age. Kenerate has no region list: sign in with Google, GitHub, Discord or email. Q: Can I keep my ImageFX prompts? A: Yes. ImageFX prompts are plain English, so paste them into Kenerate as they are. Nano Banana 2.1 is the closest match among Google models; GPT Image 2 is strong on text in images and Seedream 5.0 Pro on detailed art. Download any ImageFX images you want to keep from Flow. Q: Can I use Kenerate images commercially? A: Yes. Kenerate's Terms say you own what you generate and can use it for commercial work, and downloads carry no watermark. ## Related pages - Nano Banana 2.1 on Kenerate: https://kenerateai.com/model/nano-banana-2.1 - Google Veo 3.1: https://kenerateai.com/google-veo-3-1 - GPT Image 2 vs Nano Banana: https://kenerateai.com/gpt-image-2-vs-nano-banana - Bing Image Creator alternative: https://kenerateai.com/bing-image-creator-alternative - DALL·E alternative: https://kenerateai.com/dall-e-alternative - All models: https://kenerateai.com/model ## Sources - Google — New ways to create and refine content in Flow (25 Feb 2026): https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-labs/flow-updates-february-2026/ - Google Workspace Updates — Whisk is moving to Flow on April 30, 2026: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/03/whisk-is-moving-to-flow-on-april-30-2026.html - Google Flow Help — Manage your Google Flow credits: https://support.google.com/flow/answer/16526234?hl=en - Google — New and better ways to create images with Imagen 2 (ImageFX launch): https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/google-imagen-2/ - Google — Updates to Veo, Imagen and VideoFX (Imagen 3 in ImageFX): https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-labs/video-image-generation-update-december-2024/ - Google Flow Help — Access requirements: https://support.google.com/flow/answer/16353333?hl=en
