Available Tools

Image Generation (createImage)

Generate sprites, icons, backgrounds, UI assets, and textures.

Credits: 0.5 per image

Edit Image (editImage)

Modify an existing image using text instructions (smart editing).

Credits: 0.5 per image

Generate with Style (generateWithStyle)

Generate new content while maintaining the visual style of a reference image.

Credits: 0.5 per image

Generate Pose (generatePose)

Generate a new pose for an existing sprite. Use this BEFORE animateSprite to get the best animation results - the starting pose should match your intended animation.

Returns: url, pose, motion_prompt

Example workflow:

1. Generate a "Walk / Run (Left)" pose with generatePose
2. Use the returned motion_prompt directly in animateSprite for optimal animation results

Credits: 0.5 per image

Remove Background (removeImageBackground)

Remove the background from an image, returning a transparent PNG.

Returns: url (transparent PNG)

Credits: 0.5 per image

3D Model Generation (create3DModel)

Convert a 2D image to a 3D GLB model with textures.

Returns: model_url (GLB file) + 4 snapshot images from different angles

Credits: 3 per model Processing time: 60-120 seconds

Sprite Animation (animateSprite)

Create animated spritesheets from static images.

Returns: spritesheet_url, video_url, gif_url, individual_frame_urls, spritesheet_with_background_url, individual_frame_with_background_urls, num_frames, num_cols, num_rows

Credits: 5 per animation Processing time: 30-90 seconds

Animation Presets (listAnimationPresets)

List available animation presets for use with motion transfer. Returns preset animations, perspectives, and directions — no video URLs are exposed.

Returns:

• animations — Array of presets with id, name, category, description, duration, preview_url

Credits: Free

Async Usage

You can use request_id to build fire-and-forget workflows. Tag any generation request with a request_id, then poll the corresponding results endpoint to pick up the output when it's ready — no need to keep the connection open.

1. Pass a request_id in your generation request
2. Poll the corresponding results endpoint to retrieve the output

# Fire off a sprite animation
animateSprite with request_id="my-anim-001", initial_image="url", motion_prompt="walking"

# Retrieve the result whenever you're ready
getSpriteResults with request_id="my-anim-001"

All generation endpoints accept an optional request_id parameter. Results are available for 7 days and each results endpoint returns up to 100 recent API-generated assets.

Asset URL Expiration

All generated asset URLs (images, spritesheets, videos, audio, 3D models) are temporary and expire after 7 days. If you need to keep an asset, download it before it expires.
