Image generation API
Image generation API: models, pricing, and integration
EasyAI brings supported image generation models into the same account and prepaid balance used for text and video workloads. Choose a currently enabled model, confirm its endpoint and billing unit, and validate the output contract before production.
Direct answer
EasyAI provides API access to image generation models currently enabled for your account. Use the live model catalog to select an image model, confirm whether it supports generation or editing, verify the request schema and per-item billing expression, and test representative prompts before connecting production traffic.
Verified facts
- Model discovery
- Filter the EasyAI catalog for image models and confirm the ID with GET /v1/models
- Endpoint
- Use the image generation endpoint only when the selected model advertises support
- Billing unit
- Image models can be billed per generated item or another model-specific expression
- Account
- One EasyAI key and prepaid balance can reach models enabled for that account

Choose an image model from the live contract
Start with the current EasyAI model catalog. Confirm the exact model ID, whether it supports text-to-image, image editing, or both, and which endpoint and request fields it accepts.
Do not infer capabilities from a model family name. Test dimensions, output format, prompt handling, safety behavior, and error responses with the exact model you will deploy.
Estimate image API pricing without mixing units
Image generation may be billed per generated item or with a model-specific expression. Record the requested size, quality, number of outputs, account multiplier, and retry rate before estimating monthly cost.
Never compare an image price directly with token pricing. Keep the billing unit and check date beside every number, then reconcile estimates against live usage records.
Build an observable generation workflow
Keep keys on the server, validate user input, cap output counts, set request timeouts, and log model IDs and request identifiers without storing secrets. Decide how the product handles moderation failures, retries, and unavailable models.
Use a representative prompt suite to measure latency, output consistency, and total cost. Roll out gradually and preserve a tested fallback or user-visible failure state.
Integration example
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.EASYAI_API_KEY,
baseURL: process.env.EASYAI_BASE_URL,
});
const image = await client.images.generate({
model: process.env.EASYAI_IMAGE_MODEL!,
prompt: "A clean editorial illustration of an AI routing workflow",
n: 1,
});Who this is for
Developers building product imagery, creative tools, marketing automation, asset pipelines, and multimodal applications.
Get an API keyFrequently asked questions
Which image generation API models are available?
Availability changes with the EasyAI account and connected channels. Use the image section of the live catalog and GET /v1/models for the current model IDs.
How is image generation API pricing calculated?
Use the selected model's current billing expression. Image models may charge per generated item or another model-specific unit, and an account-group multiplier may apply.
Does EasyAI offer a permanently free image generation API?
Do not assume permanent free usage. Credits, trials, quotas, models, and limits can change; verify the current console and pricing page before testing.
Can I use an OpenAI client for image generation?
Use an OpenAI-compatible client only when it supports a custom base URL and the selected EasyAI image model advertises the corresponding endpoint and request fields.
Can the same EasyAI key call text and image models?
Yes, the same key can reach text, image, and video models that are enabled for that account. Model and endpoint availability remain account-specific.
