Filtrix Image Gen
Generate and edit images via OpenAI, Gemini, or fal.ai.
Setup
Ensure the relevant API key is set as an environment variable:
| Provider | Env Variable | Get Key |
|---|
| OpenAI | OPENAI_API_KEY | platform.openai.com |
| Gemini | GOOGLE_API_KEY | aistudio.google.com |
| fal.ai | FAL_KEY | fal.ai/dashboard |
No pip dependencies — uses only Python stdlib.
Text-to-Image (Generate)
python scripts/generate.py --provider <openai|gemini|fal> --prompt "..." [--size WxH|RATIO] [--model MODEL] [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--output PATH] [--seed N]
Image-to-Image (Edit)
python scripts/edit.py --provider <openai|gemini|fal> --image input.png --prompt "edit instruction" [--mask mask.png] [--size WxH|RATIO] [--model MODEL] [--resolution 1K|2K|4K] [--output PATH] [--seed N]
--mask is OpenAI only (for inpainting)--resolution is Gemini only (requires --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview)--seed is fal only
Output: prints OK: /path/to/image.png (N bytes) on success.
Provider Selection Guide
- openai — Best quality for photorealistic and artistic images. Model:
gpt-image-1. Supports mask-based inpainting for edits.
- gemini — Default:
gemini-2.5-flash-image (fast, cheap). Premium: --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview (higher quality, more expensive, supports --resolution 1K/2K/4K). Prefer Flash unless user requests higher quality.
- fal — Default:
seedream45 (ByteDance SeedReam 4.5). Also: seedream4, flux-pro, flux-dev, recraft-v3. Or pass raw fal model ID.
If the user doesn't specify a provider, pick based on available API keys. Prefer gemini for speed, openai for quality.
Sizes
Generate (--size)
| Size | Aspect | Notes |

1024x1024 | 1:1 | Default, square |

For Gemini, also accepts aspect ratios directly: 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 21:9, 9:16, 3:4.
