Image Generation workflow ideas
Generate and edit images on the canvas — concept art, product shots, posters, and batch pipelines.
A Gradient Card as PNG
Build vector art, then rasterise it. SVGToImage is the bridge: author resolution-independently, hand a PNG to anything that needs pixels.
A Poster in Portrait
A 3:4 print-oriented frame. Generating at the final aspect ratio avoids the crop that otherwise loses whichever edge the composition needed.
A Repeating Texture Tile
A seamless tile for backgrounds. Prompting for the tiling explicitly matters — an unseamed texture is visibly wrong the moment it repeats.
Ad Loop from a Product Photo
Turn a single product photo into a short looping ad. A prompt node writes the motion brief, Kling 2.6 on Kie animates the still, and a speed pass slows it into a hero loop. Needs a KIE_API_KEY; the video step is billed per generation.
Album Art from a Mood
Square cover art. The aspect ratio is the requirement here — every platform crops to it, so generating anything else creates work.
Black and White, Hard
Grayscale first, then a soft-edged threshold. Thresholding colour directly gives you the luminance of whichever channel happens to dominate, which is rarely what you want.
Blur a Channel
Pull one colour channel, then blur it. A deliberately odd chain: it exists to check that single-channel output stays a valid image for the next node rather than silently losing its mode.
Blur an Image
Soften an image. Useful for backplates behind text, or for anonymising a background before publishing. Local pixel work - no model, no key, no cost.
Brand Asset Generator
Turn a brand name and vibe into a whole social kit in one run: the graph fans out to two branches at once — a streamed gallery of four on-brand, text-overlaid social images (Instagram, LinkedIn, X, product launch) and a one-page brand brief (voice, palette, tagline options). Differentiator: structured multi-asset outputs from a single fan-out graph. Uses fal-ai flux/schnell for images (paid) and gpt-5-mini for text.
Bring a Still to Life
Turn one image into a short moving shot. The brief forbids restyling so the model may move the camera and add atmosphere but not redraw the subject - the same constraint the product templates rely on.
Circles and Lines
The remaining SVG primitives in one document — circle, ellipse and line — so the shape vocabulary is visible in one place.
Concept Art Iteration Board
Fan one creative brief into a gallery of concept-art variations. An art-director agent turns your brief, style, and mood into a detailed direction, then a list generator writes N distinct image prompts that all render into an append-style variant gallery. Differentiator: one run, many on-brief variations you can compare side by side and regenerate. Text runs on gpt-5-mini; images on fal-ai/flux/schnell.
Concept Art, Then a Moving Version
Design the frame first, then animate the one you kept. Committing to a still before paying for video is the cheapest way to work — video calls cost many times an image.
Crop an Image
Cut a rectangle out of an image by pixel bounds. The blunt instrument - use Fit when you want the whole frame at a new size. Local pixel work - no model, no key, no cost.
Crop then Fit
Two image steps composed: cut to a region, then scale that region into a thumbnail box. Doing it in this order means the crop decides the subject and the fit only decides the size.
Cut Out the Subject
Strip an image down to its subject on transparency, ready to composite over any background. The usual first step for a product cut-out or a cast of characters that has to sit on brand colour.
Cut a Product Out of Its Background
The first step of every catalogue pipeline: isolate the product so it can sit on any background the channel requires. Bria returns a real alpha channel rather than a white matte, so the edge survives compositing.
Draw a Badge in SVG
Compose a badge from primitives rather than generating one. Every shape is an element you can reposition or recolour later — no regeneration, no resampling.
Edit a Still with Words
Change an image by describing the change. Nano Banana edits in place rather than regenerating, so composition and subject survive - the instruction should name what to alter and leave the rest unsaid.
Editorial Still from a Line
One line of subject text becomes a finished editorial photograph. A Template node holds the house look so the caller only supplies the subject. Billed per image, but FLUX.2 [klein] at six steps is among the cheapest ways to get a usable frame.
Emboss a Still
Turn the image into a relief. Emboss reads gradients rather than colour, so a flat region goes grey and only the edges survive.
Find the Edges
Canny edge detection with the two thresholds it actually turns on: the low one decides what counts as a weak edge, the high one what counts as certain.
Fit an Image
Scale an image to fit a box while keeping its aspect ratio. What you want for thumbnails, where a hard resize would distort. Local pixel work - no model, no key, no cost.
Generate then Upscale a Poster
Generate small and cheap, then pay for resolution only on the frame you keep. Iterating at 1K and upscaling once at the end costs a fraction of generating every draft at full size.
Hook & Thumbnail Factory
One video topic in, a full thumbnail pack out: scroll-stopping hook lines plus a color-graded, ready-to-post thumbnail for each. The differentiator is the fan-out — one hook stream drives a whole gallery of matching images in a single run. Uses fal-ai/flux/schnell (cheap, fast).
Image Enhance
A live photo editor: five GPU filters chained into one pipeline, each exposing a numeric property the app binds to a slider. Drag Denoise, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Sharpen and the preview updates in place — the filters run in-browser, so there is no model, no API key, and no per-run cost.
Image to Video Animation
Generate a high-quality still from text, then animate it into a short cinematic clip. Uses Veo 3.1 for the animation step, which costs more per run than image-only templates.
Invert a Still
A straight negative — every channel flipped. The cheapest way to see whether a filter chain is operating on the pixels you think it is.
Moodboard Frame from a Theme
One frame of a moodboard, generated from a described direction. Cheap enough to run a dozen times and pick, which is how moodboards actually get made.
Movie Posters
Turn a title, genre, and visual style into finished theatrical one-sheet posters. An art-direction agent first writes a key-art brief (positioning, palette, typography), which drives every generated poster — the differentiator is the agent-authored creative strategy, not a raw prompt.
Pad a Canvas
Place an image on a larger canvas without scaling it - the way to letterbox a landscape shot into a square post without cropping the subject. Local pixel work - no model, no key, no cost.
Photo Enhancement Suite
Batch-enhance a list of photos through a fixed retouch chain — auto-contrast, color, sharpening, and an AI cinematic-grade pass — with no folder path required, just drop images in.
Pixelate a Still
Cell size is the whole control. Useful for redaction, and the one filter where a bigger number is more privacy rather than more effect.
Poster on Kie
Generate a poster-style image through Kie's Seedream 4.5. Kie fronts several model families behind one key, so this is the shortest path to checking a Kie credential actually works.
Posterize to Four Bits
Reduce the bits per channel and the image collapses into flat bands — a screenprint look, and a quick way to see banding before it bites you.
Product Mockup Generator
Turn one product photo into a whole set of polished lifestyle mockups. An LLM art-director designs a varied shot list from your product description, then each scene is rendered with FLUX and finished with a brightness/contrast polish. Differentiator: the model invents the scenes, so a single input fans out into a coordinated mockup set — not one prompt, one image.
Product Spot from Text
Turn a product description into a short commercial spot — no photo needed. A prompt assembles a studio hero-shot brief, FLUX.2 [klein] renders the still, then LTX-2.3 animates that exact frame following only the camera notes. Cost note: the animation step is billed per second of output, so this costs more per run than an image-only template.
Pull a Still from a Clip
Grab a single frame at a given timestamp - the quick way to get a thumbnail or a reference still out of footage you already have. Runs locally through ffmpeg.
Put a Product on a Studio Backdrop
Cut the product out, then place it in a described setting. Two steps rather than one prompt, because generating around an existing product is what keeps the product itself unchanged — the thing a customer is actually buying.
Relight a Portrait
Change where the light comes from after the shot. The subject and framing stay put while the lighting is re-rendered from a description.
Relight a Product for a Seasonal Campaign
Same product, different season, no reshoot. Relighting keeps the geometry and materials and changes only where the light comes from.
Restyle a Photo as an Illustration
Keep the composition, change the medium. Strength is the dial: low preserves the photograph, high redraws it into something new.
Restyle a Still with FLUX Dev
Image-to-image at moderate strength: keep the composition, change the medium. Strength is the dial — low preserves the original, high redraws it.
Solarize a Still
Invert only the tones above a threshold — the darkroom accident that became a look.
Split a Channel
Pull one colour channel out as its own image. A quick way to inspect where an artefact lives, or to build a mask from one channel. Local pixel work - no model, no key, no cost.
Still on Replicate
Generate an image through Replicate rather than fal. Same graph shape as the fal and Kie variants - swapping provider is a model-field change, not a rewrite, which is the point worth demonstrating.
Take a Product Shot to Print Resolution
Web assets are rarely big enough for print. Upscaling at the end of the pipeline costs one call, where shooting or generating everything at print size costs it on every draft.
Turn a Logo into Print-Ready Vector
A raster logo cannot be set on a billboard or embroidered. Tracing to SVG paths gives a mark that scales to any size a supplier asks for.
Upscale a Still
Enlarge an image without the softness a plain resize gives you. ESRGAN on fal reconstructs detail rather than interpolating it, which is what makes a 4x blow-up hold together in print. Billed per image.
Vectorize a Generated Logo
Generate a flat mark, then trace it to true vector art. Raster generators cannot produce clean vectors, so the two steps are separate: FLUX draws the shape, Recraft converts it to SVG paths that scale without resampling.
Vectorize a Photo You Provide
Trace an image you supply into SVG paths. Useful for turning a scanned sketch or a flat render into artwork you can recolour and scale.
Video Restyle Studio
Repaint an existing clip in a new visual style while its motion stays put. A prompt node turns a short style note into a full restyle brief, then a video-to-video model applies it. Strength is the dial: low keeps the original read, high commits to the new look.
Vignette a Portrait
Darken the corners to pull the eye inward. Radius sets where the falloff starts, softness how abruptly it arrives.
Write a Listing from the Product Photo
Hand the model the photograph rather than a description of it. Marketplace copy written from the actual image catches details a spec sheet omits — finish, proportion, what it sits next to.
Write the Prompt, Then Make the Image
The model writes its own image prompt from a plain description. Useful when the person with the idea does not want to learn prompt craft — and the intermediate prompt stays visible, so it can be corrected rather than guessed at.
