Images
Generate images
Create images from text prompts
POST
Generate images from a text prompt using AI models from various providers.
OpenAI CompatibilityThis endpoint implements the OpenAI Images API. You can use any OpenAI SDK by changing the base URL to
https://api.lumenfall.ai/openai/v1.Lumenfall normalizes behavior across all models - mapping parameters, emulating features, and standardizing errors - so your code works consistently regardless of which provider handles the request.Request body
You can include additional parameters not listed here. They will be passed through to the underlying provider.
What do the parameter badges mean?
What do the parameter badges mean?
Each parameter has a badge showing how Lumenfall handles it across different providers:

| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Passthrough | Passed as-is; some providers may ignore it |
| Renamed | Field name is mapped to the provider’s expected name |
| Converted | Value is transformed to match each provider’s format |
| Emulated | Works consistently on all models, even if the provider doesn’t natively support it |
A text description of the desired image. Maximum length varies by model.Renamed
The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10. Some models only support
n=1.EmulatedThe size of the generated images. Supported sizes vary by model:
256x256512x5121024x10241024x1792(portrait)1792x1024(landscape)
The quality of the image. Options:
standard, hd. Only supported by some models.PassthroughThe format of the generated images. Options:
url— Returns a URL to the generated imageb64_json— Returns the image as base64-encoded JSON
The image file format to generate. Lumenfall supports more formats than OpenAI:
png— Lossless compression, supports transparencyjpeg— Lossy compression, smaller file sizegif— Supports animation and transparencywebp— Modern format with good compressionavif— Best compression, modern browsers only (Limited to 1,600px on the longest side. Larger images will fall back to the original format.)
Compression quality for lossy formats (
jpeg, webp, avif). Range: 1-100, where 100 is highest quality.EmulatedThe style of the generated images. Options:
vivid, natural. Only supported by some models like DALL-E 3.PassthroughControls the model’s internal reasoning effort. Options:
off— no extra reasoningon— enable reasoning at the level the model treats as sensibleminimal— light reasoninghigh— maximum reasoning
enum in its model schema (/openai/v1/models?schema=true) - a model with simple on/off support advertises ["off", "on"], while a model with graded levels advertises ["off", "on", "minimal", "high"]. Sending a value the chosen model does not support returns a 400 listing the supported set. thinking_level is accepted as an alias. Omit to use the model’s default.ConvertedWhether an LLM rewrites and expands your prompt before generation. Options:
on, off. When enabled and the provider returns the rewritten prompt, it appears in the response as revised_prompt. If the routed model does not support enhancement, the parameter is ignored. Omit to use the model’s default.ConvertedA unique identifier representing your end-user. Only used by some providers.Passthrough
Query parameters
If
true, returns a cost estimate without generating the image. See Cost estimation.Response
Unix timestamp of when the request was created.
Actual output dimensions as
"WIDTHxHEIGHT" (e.g., "1024x1024"). Extracted from the generated image. May differ from the requested size if the model produced a different resolution.Array of generated image objects.
