The Lumenfall AI Image Studio Chrome extension brings image generation and editing into a browser side panel. Access all Lumenfall models without leaving the page you’re on.

What it does

  • Generate images from text prompts using any model in the Lumenfall catalog.
  • Edit images by right-clicking any image on the web and choosing “Edit with Lumenfall”, or by dragging images into the side panel.
  • Brainstorm illustrations — extract text from the current page and generate contextual images.
  • Gallery — all generated images are saved locally for later download, copy, or re-editing.
The extension communicates only with the Lumenfall API. No analytics, tracking, or third-party services are involved. See our Privacy Policy for details on how the API handles your data.

Installation

Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, click the Lumenfall icon in the toolbar or press Ctrl+Shift+L (Mac: Cmd+Shift+L) to open the side panel.

Setup

  1. Create a free account at lumenfall.ai.
  2. Generate an API key from your dashboard.
  3. Open the extension and paste the key in Settings.
Models load automatically once a valid key is set. Your API key is stored locally on your device and is never synced or transmitted anywhere other than the Lumenfall API.

Permissions

The extension requests minimal permissions at install time. Broad host access (https://*/*) is not requested upfront — instead, Chrome prompts you the first time the extension needs to fetch an image from a specific site (e.g. when you right-click “Edit with Lumenfall” or drag an image in). You can revoke these per-site permissions at any time in chrome://extensions.

Build your own

The extension is open source and designed to be a starting point for building your own Lumenfall-powered tools.

GitHub Repository

Clone the repo, swap in your own UI, and ship a custom Chrome extension backed by the Lumenfall API.
The project is vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with no build dependencies for development. Load it as an unpacked extension in Chrome and start hacking:
git clone https://github.com/lumenfall-ai/lumenfall-chrome-extension.git
cd lumenfall-chrome-extension
  1. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
  2. Click Load unpacked and select the repo directory.
  3. Open the side panel and add your API key.
For production builds (Web Store submission):
bun run scripts/build.ts        # → dist/ + lumenfall-chrome.zip
bun run scripts/build.ts --dev  # → dist/ with localhost enabled
