SOLUTIONS / IMAGE GENERATION
From first prompt to production-ready asset.
Generate images with leading AI models without adding new tools to your stack. Cloudinary matches each request to the right model, then manages, transforms, optimizes, and delivers every result automatically.
MODEL ORCHESTRATION
Change the AI model, not your workflow.
Access leading AI image models through one integration. Cloudinary routes each request based on your needs for quality, cost, and speed, without adding evaluation work or rebuilding your pipeline.
FLEXIBLE INPUT
No prompt engineering required.
Create visuals from scratch or use an existing image as your prompt. Preserve the products, composition, style, or creative context words can’t capture, then generate entirely new assets around them.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Managed, stored, and ready to use, automatically.
Every generated image is automatically stored as a Cloudinary asset with its own public_id, metadata, governance, and transformation capabilities, ready to use the moment it’s created.
DELIVERY & OPTIMIZATION
Generate once, then create every variation you need.
Transform, enhance, and optimize every generated image with Cloudinary, then automatically deliver the right version for every device, browser, and channel.
DEVELOPER API
From standalone tool to built-in capability.
Build image generation directly into commerce, marketplaces, creative workflows, marketing applications, and AI-powered products through Cloudinary’s API, so it becomes a core capability instead of a one-off tool.
