Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Headers

​
Accept-Encoding
string

Supported compression encodings (gzip, br). Only applied when return_binary is false.

Example:

"gzip, br"

Body

application/json
​
model
string
required

The model to use for image generation.

Example:

"venice-sd35"

​
prompt
string
required

The description for the image. Character limit is model specific and is listed in the promptCharacterLimit setting in the model list endpoint.

Required string length: 1 - 1500
Example:

"A beautiful sunset over a mountain range"

​
cfg_scale
number

CFG scale parameter. Higher values lead to more adherence to the prompt.

Required range: 0 < x <= 20
Example:

7.5

​
embed_exif_metadata
boolean
default:false

Embed prompt generation information into the image's EXIF metadata.

Example:

false

​
format
enum<string>
default:webp

The image format to return. WebP are smaller and optimized for web use. PNG are higher quality but larger in file size.

Available options:
jpeg,
png,
webp
Example:

"webp"

​
height
integer
default:1024

Height of the generated image. Each model has a specific height and width divisor listed in the widthHeightDivisor constraint in the model list endpoint.

Required range: 0 < x <= 1280
Example:

1024

​
hide_watermark
boolean
default:false

Whether to hide the Venice watermark. Venice may ignore this parameter for certain generated content.

Example:

false

​
inpaint
object
​
lora_strength
integer

Lora strength for the model. Only applies if the model uses additional Loras.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 100
Example:

50

​
negative_prompt
string

A description of what should not be in the image. Character limit is model specific and is listed in the promptCharacterLimit constraint in the model list endpoint.

Maximum length: 1500
Example:

"Clouds, Rain, Snow"

​
return_binary
boolean
default:false

Whether to return binary image data instead of base64.

Example:

false

​
safe_mode
boolean
default:true

Whether to use safe mode. If enabled, this will blur images that are classified as having adult content.

Example:

false

​
seed
integer
default:0

Random seed for generation. If not provided, a random seed will be used.

Required range: -999999999 <= x <= 999999999
Example:

123456789

​
steps
integer
default:20

Number of inference steps. The following models have reduced max steps from the global max: venice-sd35: 30 max steps, flux-dev: 30 max steps, flux-dev-uncensored: 30 max steps, stable-diffusion-3.5: 30 max steps. These constraints are exposed in the model list endpoint for each model.

Required range: 0 < x <= 30
Example:

20

​
style_preset
string

An image style to apply to the image. Visit https://docs.venice.ai/api-reference/endpoint/image/styles for more details.

Example:

"3D Model"

​
width
integer
default:1024

Width of the generated image. Each model has a specific height and width divisor listed in the widthHeightDivisor constraint in the model list endpoint.

Required range: 0 < x <= 1280
Example:

1024

Response

200

​
id
string
required

The ID of the request.

Example:

"generate-image-1234567890"

​
images
string[]
required

Base64 encoded image data.

​
timing
object
required
​
request
