# AI Image Generator
Generate images using AI APIs (Google Gemini and OpenAI GPT). This skill teaches the prompting patterns and API mechanics for producing professional images directly from Claude Code.
> **Managed alternative**: If you don't want to manage API keys, [ImageBot](https://imagebot.au) provides a managed image generation service with album templates and brand kit support.
## Model Selection
Choose the right model for the job:
| Need | Model | Why |
|------|-------|-----|
| **Photorealistic scenes / stock photos** | Gemini 3.1 Flash Image | Best depth, complexity, environmental context |
| **Final client scenes (higher detail)** | Gemini 3 Pro Image | Higher detail, better style consistency |
| **Text on images** (posters, OG with copy, infographics) | GPT Image 2 | Text rendering actually works — including multi-script |
| **10-variation style exploration** | GPT Image 2 | Native batch — one prompt, 10 variants sharing composition + palette |
| **Multi-reference compositing** (product + lifestyle) | GPT Image 2 | Handles lighting, scale, perspective across references |
| **Transparent icons / logos** | GPT Image 1.5 | Native RGBA alpha — **GPT Image 2 cannot do transparency** |
| **Quick drafts / iteration** | Gemini 2.5 Flash Image | Free tier (~500/day) |
**Rule of thumb**: any image with readable text → GPT Image 2 (unless you need transparency, then GPT 1.5). Otherwise → Gemini.
