Generate images
Image Generation API
Generate images from text prompts using AI models like OpenAI GPT-Image 1 and Google Imagen.
Supported Models
- openai/gpt-image-1: OpenAI's latest image model with editing, inpainting, and outpainting support via the Images API
- imagen-4.0-generate-001: Google Imagen 4.0 for high-quality image generation
Request Parameters
- prompt: Text description of the image to generate
- n: Number of images to generate (1-8)
- size: Image dimensions (e.g., "1024x1024", "1920x1080")
- quality: Model-specific quality tier (e.g., "low/medium/high" for GPT-Image 1, "standard/hd" for Imagen)
- response_format: "url" or "b64_json"
Pricing
Images are charged per generated output image. GPT-Image 1 supports granular pricing per quality tier and resolution (e.g., low 1024x1024 at $0.011), while Google Imagen continues to offer standard vs. HD (2x) pricing.
- Platform fee: 20% added to the computed base cost
