ModelsLab Image Generation

Generate stunning AI images using ModelsLab's extensive library of models and powerful generation endpoints.

When to Use This Skill

• Generate images from text descriptions
• Transform or modify existing images
• Fill in masked parts of images (inpainting)
• Use ControlNet for precise control
• Need fast generation (Realtime API)
• Need highest quality (Community/FLUX models)
• Create product images, marketing graphics, or artwork

Available APIs (v7)

1. Text to Image

• POST https://modelslab.com/api/v7/images/text-to-image
• 50,000+ models available

2. Image to Image

• POST https://modelslab.com/api/v7/images/image-to-image
• Transform existing images with a prompt

3. Inpainting

• POST https://modelslab.com/api/v7/images/inpaint
• Fill masked regions of an image

4. Fetch Result

• POST https://modelslab.com/api/v7/images/fetch/{id}
• Poll for async generation results

Note: v6 endpoints (/api/v6/images/text2img, etc.) still work but v7 is the current version.

Discovering Image Models

# Search image models by name
modelslab models search --feature imagen

# Search specific models
modelslab models search --search "flux"
modelslab models search --search "midjourney"

# Get model details
modelslab models detail --id flux

Key Parameters

Best Practices

1. Craft Effective Prompts

Bad: "a car"
Good: "A red Ferrari sports car, studio lighting, highly detailed, 4k, photorealistic"

Include: Subject, style, lighting, quality descriptors

2. Use Negative Prompts

negative_prompt = "blurry, low quality, distorted, deformed, ugly, bad anatomy, extra limbs"

3. Choose Right Model

• flux: Fast, high quality, good default choice
• midjourney: Artistic, stylized outputs
• imagen-3/4: Premium photorealistic (Google)
• sdxl: Versatile base with many fine-tunes

4. Handle Async Operations

# Always check status and poll if needed
if data["status"] == "processing":
    result = poll_result(data["id"], api_key)

5. Use Webhooks for Long Operations

payload = {
    "key": api_key,
    "prompt": "...",
    "webhook": "https://yourserver.com/webhook",
    "track_id": "unique-identifier"
}

Error Handling

try:
    image = generate_image(prompt, api_key)
    print(f"Success: {image}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Generation failed: {e}")
    # Log error, retry, or notify user
