An AI visualisation
studio for designers —
at no additional cost.
myda turns prompts, sketches and references into finished design visuals on Google’s Gemini models. Bring your own API key, pay Google directly, and generate at the real price — no markup, ever.
Free — bring your own Google API key and generate at cost. No card required.
The secret the other tools don’t tell you.
Almost every AI image tool for designers runs on the same handful of models — Google’s, mostly. With your own API key those images cost a fraction of what studios charge for them.
myda hands you that key. You generate at the real token price and Google bills you directly. We don’t touch your usage and we don’t add a margin to it.
We charge for one thing only: building the tool and hosting the infrastructure that lets you use your own key safely. That’s it. The visuals stay at no additional cost — the way they always should have been.
Bring your key
Paste your Google API key once. It's encrypted like a password and never stored in plaintext — revoke it in Google any time.
Generate at no additional cost
Prompt, sketch or drop in references. Images render on Google's Gemini models at the real token price — nothing added.
Pay Google directly
Your usage is billed by Google, not us. myda only charges a flat fee for the tool and hosting — never a markup on images.
Real Google rates from the same pricing engine the app bills with. “Typical studio” assumes the common ~2× markup competitors add on top of the model’s actual cost. Pro is $19/mo with 3 seats included ($15 billed annually) — generation is never marked up on either plan.

vs. a studio reselling at ~2× — that’s $40.32/month back in your pocket, platform fee included.
One studio, four ways to visualise.
Every tool runs on the same model, at no additional cost. Prompt, sketch, upscale or animate — from first concept to a presentation-ready frame.
Prompt to Image
Describe it in a line and get a finished visual — concept frames, moodboards and hero renders from text.
Image to Image
Turn a rough sketch or an export from a 3D mdoel into a rendered proposal while keeping your own composition.
High Resolution
Generate any visual in crisp 2K or 4K, ready for boards, client presentations and print.
Image to Video
Bring a still into motion — short fly-throughs and reveals generated from a single frame.
“I’m an architect. Visuals are how we sell ideas — and I was tired of watching designers pay double the real cost to make them.”
Ed, Founder
The models are the same for everyone. The markup isn’t. Once I saw how little a generated image actually costs with your own API key, the resale prices stopped making sense.
So I built the tool I wanted: honest pricing, your own key, your data yours. myda is for designers who’d rather pay for the craft than the margin.
- Who is myda for?
- Designers who work visually — architects, interior and product designers, and studios that need fast, honest AI visualisation without paying a reseller's markup.
- How much does it cost to generate an image with myda?
- Google's real price, with nothing added: with your own API key an image typically costs around $0.07–$0.13 at 1K–2K resolution, and about $0.15–$0.24 for a 4K render, depending on the Gemini model. Google bills you directly for generation — myda adds zero markup on top. Do the maths in the calculator →
- Is myda free?
- Yes — the Free tier is $0 forever. You bring your own Google API key, generate up to 30 images a day at up to 2K, and pay only Google's real generation cost. The Pro tier adds 4K upscaling and the full tool suite for a flat fee — image usage is never marked up on any tier. See the full pricing →
- Do I need a Google API key to start generating images?
- Yes. Image generation runs on your own Google API key, so you'll need one before you can create images. They're easy to create in Google AI Studio, and once you've added yours to myda you can be generating visuals within minutes.
- What is an API key?
- An API key is a private access token that lets myda talk to Google's image models on your behalf. Think of it as a password for the Gemini API: you create it in your own Google account, add it to myda, and every image you generate is billed by Google directly to you — at their real price, with nothing added on top.
- How do I get my own API key?
- Create one free in Google AI Studio — it takes about five minutes. Sign in with a Google account, open the API keys section, create a new key, and add it to myda. To generate images you'll connect a billing account so Google can charge you directly at their standard rates. Read the full guide →
- Is my API key safe?
- Yes. Your key is encrypted with Google Cloud KMS — a hardware-backed vault whose master key never leaves Google — so it is never stored in plaintext and never sent to your browser. It is decrypted only to make a single call to Google on your behalf, and you can delete it here or revoke it in Google AI Studio at any time. Read our security note →
- Is myda really at no additional cost?
- Yes. You generate on your own Google API key and Google bills you directly. myda never marks up image usage — we only charge a flat fee for the tool and the hosting that lets you use your own key safely.
- Can't I simply generate images in Google AI Studio, or Gemini?
- Yes, you can. What myda adds is the full functionality of Google's AI image generation models — generating at 2K or 4K, for example — plus tools that don't exist in Google AI Studio or Gemini, like enhancing characters. Read the full comparison →
