Turn a description into a picture with readable text on it

MOSS-Image is a model that turns a text description into an image with clear, readable text inside it, including full sentences in Chinese.

It's a text-to-image generator: write a description, get a picture. Its main trick is drawing readable text right on the image.

When it helps

Useful for stickers, signs, posters, and mockups that need exact text in a specific spot. It won't run without an NVIDIA GPU, and it's not for final commercial images.

Pros

  • Draws readable text on the image, even full Chinese sentences
  • Set the exact position of every object via a JSON layout file
  • Free, open-source model under the Apache 2.0 license
  • Try it without installing anything, via a browser demo

Cons

  • Needs an NVIDIA GPU with ~8GB VRAM, won't run without one
  • Text layout comes out less tidy than the fine-tuned SFT version
  • Developers don't compare it against commercial services

How to set it up — step by step

  1. 1Open the MOSS-Image demo on Hugging Face Spaces in your browser — no install needed.
  2. 2Send the agent the text from the block below, adding your own image description.
  3. 3Check the result — make sure the text in the image reads correctly.
  4. 4For local use, install Python 3.10+ and an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA and ~8GB VRAM.
  5. 5Need an exact layout — describe object and text positions in a JSON file instead of plain text.

Text for your agent

Copy this and send it to your agent — Claude Code, Codex, any of them:

Open the MOSS-Image demo on Hugging Face Spaces (https://huggingface.co/spaces/OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Image), generate an image from my description with some text in it, and show me the result.

You need an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support and about 8 GB of VRAM (based on model size - about 10 GB in full form, about 3 GB in a lighter 4-bit version); a regular laptop without a dedicated GPU will not run it.
