Prompt inspiration available at filtrix.ai/prompts.

Filtrix Image Gen

Generate and edit images via OpenAI, Gemini, or fal.ai.

Setup

Ensure the relevant API key is set as an environment variable:

No pip dependencies — uses only Python stdlib.

Text-to-Image (Generate)

python scripts/generate.py --provider <openai|gemini|fal> --prompt "..." [--size WxH|RATIO] [--model MODEL] [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--output PATH] [--seed N]

Image-to-Image (Edit)

python scripts/edit.py --provider <openai|gemini|fal> --image input.png --prompt "edit instruction" [--mask mask.png] [--size WxH|RATIO] [--model MODEL] [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--output PATH] [--seed N]

• --mask is OpenAI only (for inpainting)
• --resolution is Gemini only (requires --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview)
• --seed is fal only

Output: prints OK: /path/to/image.png (N bytes) on success.

Provider Selection Guide

• openai — Best quality for photorealistic and artistic images. Model: gpt-image-1. Supports mask-based inpainting for edits.
• gemini — Default: gemini-2.5-flash-image (fast, cheap). Premium: --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview (higher quality, more expensive, supports --resolution 1K/2K/4K). Prefer Flash unless user requests higher quality.
• fal — Default: seedream45 (ByteDance SeedReam 4.5). Also: seedream4, flux-pro, flux-dev, recraft-v3. Or pass raw fal model ID.

If the user doesn't specify a provider, pick based on available API keys. Prefer gemini for speed, openai for quality.

Sizes

Generate (--size)

For Gemini, also accepts aspect ratios directly: 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 21:9, 9:16, 3:4.

Resolution (Gemini 3 Pro only)

Use --resolution 2K or --resolution 4K with --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview for high-res output.
