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.

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.
| Permission | Why it’s needed |
|---|---|
storage | Store your API key, preferences, cached models, and gallery locally. |
unlimitedStorage | Gallery images are stored as data URLs which can exceed Chrome’s default 10 MB quota. |
activeTab | Access the current tab to extract page text (Brainstorm) and inject the drag & drop helper. |
scripting | Inject content scripts on demand for text extraction and image overlays. |
contextMenus | Add the “Edit with Lumenfall” right-click menu on images. |
