SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Sourcing image assets for web and vibe-coding projects usually requires paid image-generation APIs or a credit card. This Skill provides tested, working free image generation paths so you can produce hero art, mockups, icons, and placeholders at zero cost. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tiered provider fallback: Uses Cloudflare Workers AI FLUX.1-schnell as the primary quality tier, Gemini "Nano Banana" as secondary, and Pollinations sana as a zero-setup last resort. - Live-verified provider landscape: Documents which free providers actually work (tested with real requests) and which are dead ends, so no time is wasted on broken endpoints. - Use Case: While building a landing page, you need a product hero image but have no paid image API. The Skill generates a photorealistic render via Cloudflare FLUX or Gemini, saves it locally, and verifies the output is a valid image file. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate a free image of your subject, for example a photorealistic product shot, and save it to a specific local path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate AI images for free without a credit card?▼

Use Cloudflare Workers AI FLUX.1-schnell, which offers 10,000 free neurons per day with an email-only signup, or Gemini Flash Image with a free key from Google AI Studio. Pollinations sana works with zero setup but produces lower quality output.

What is the best free AI image generation API?▼

Cloudflare Workers AI FLUX.1-schnell is the best free tier verified here, followed by Gemini Nano Banana for quality. Pollinations anonymous tier only serves the weaker sana model, so it is a last-resort placeholder option.

Can I edit an existing image with Gemini Nano Banana?▼

Yes, pass a source image with the --image flag to nanobanana.py for conversational edits and reference-based generation. All Gemini output images carry a SynthID watermark and are saved as PNG.

Why does my generated image file come out empty or tiny?▼

Failed generations return a small error blob instead of image data, often from transient 5xx errors. Retry once, then verify with the file command that the output reports valid JPEG or PNG image data before claiming success.

Does Pollinations still support FLUX for free?▼

No, the anonymous Pollinations tier now serves only the sana model; FLUX, GPT-Image, and Nano-Banana there are paid. Passing model=flux falls back to weak output, so use Cloudflare or Gemini instead.
