# 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. ### Model IDs | Model | API ID | Provider | |-------|--------|----------...
