What it is¶

Reve is a direct alternative to Midjourney and Adobe Firefly for browser image generation and editing.

• Conversational creation to generate images in chat.
• Reference collections to guide style and character consistency across work.
• Object editing to modify specific elements.
• Layers and effects to adjust visual composition.
• Reframe to adjust camera framing.
• Video generation through Veo from text prompts or frames.

Native 4K output is rated at 16 megapixels; video is available globally to Pro subscribers. It fits interactive visual work in the web application, but not new API integrations.

Development line¶

• 2025-09-16 — Reve product update documented. On 2025-09-16, documentation linked a dedicated Reve blog entry together with the product application. We treat this as a material product-development event because the dated canonical blog URL identifies a distinct product update. The supplied links do not establish feature details for the update.
• 2026-02-25 — Reve 1.5 release documented. On 2026-02-25, documentation linked a dedicated canonical Reve blog entry associated with version 1.5, alongside the application. We treat this as a material versioned product-development event. The supplied links do not establish feature details or operational changes for the release.

What changed¶

• 2025-09-16 — Reve Image combined generation and remixing, a drag-and-drop editor in beta, a creative assistant, and a beta API; the release primary source is dated 2025-09-15.
• 2026-02-25 — Early Reve v1.5 introduced a new text-to-image model with native 4K; editing and references were announced as upcoming features, while the release source is dated 2026-02-23.
• 2026-06-04 — Reve 2.0 replaced all earlier models: layout representation made objects and text addressable for editing; the release from 2026-06-03 claimed a +125 Elo gain over v1.5.
• 2026-07-11 — Reve 2.1 improved layout planning, localized editing, complex scenes, and foreign script text in native 4K; the release from 2026-07-09 specifies 16-megapixel output.
• 2026-07-15 — Reve 2.1 API launched with standard Create and Edit endpoints and experimental Full Layout Control; Reframe added Reshoot and Relayout with scaling up to 10×; the API closed later on 2026-08-14.

How to use this¶

As of 2026-02-25, verify Reve workflow assumptions against current release documentation before relying on them. This update documents a versioned release, not operational details.

1. Open Reve and enter the workspace for creation, images, and albums. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46800570058772-Finding-your-way-around
2. Describe the task in plain language in chat and submit the prompt. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46776083658132-Creating-images-in-chat
3. Pick a good result, add it back to chat, and refine lighting, composition, or content while keeping the original. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46776083658132-Creating-images-in-chat
4. Add images and saved reference collections for a consistent style; use the editor and object operations for targeted edits. — https://app.reve.com/
5. For video, select the video tool in chat, then provide a text prompt or starting and ending frames. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46799418938900-Video-creation

Best practices¶

• Iterate in one chat: refine a selected generation instead of starting from scratch each time, so the source image stays preserved. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46776083658132-Creating-images-in-chat
• Save references across projects to maintain style, character, or mood. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46776083658132-Creating-images-in-chat
• Put only persistent requirements like color palette into Custom instructions; keep single-generation requirements in the prompt. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46798449634452-Custom-instructions
• Do not build new integrations on Reve API: the service confirms the API is closed. — https://help.reve.com/hc/en-us/articles/46837930295316-Reve-API

Superseded by this¶

• 2026-06-03 — Reve 2.0 replaced every model before it.
• 2026-08-14 — Reve 2.1 API is closed and unavailable, so we cannot build new integrations on it.

Still unknown¶

• Primary source release dates fall one to two days before their documented event dates; their verified details are recorded in the chronology above.
