Image Generation

Configure a workflow step that generates one or more images and returns uploaded asset records for later steps

Use Image Generation when you want a workflow step to create images from a prompt and reuse the generated assets later in the workflow.

Configuration

Option	Required	Description
Name	No	Label for the step in the workflow canvas.
Prompt	Yes	The text entered in Prompt.
Image Size	No	One of the visible size tiles in the settings form.
Image Count	No	Number of images to generate.
Image Quality	No	Quality level for the generated images.
Image Background	No	Background mode for the image output.
Image Moderation	No	Moderation setting for the generation request.
Output Format	No	Output file format.
Output Compression	No	Compression level for formats that support it.
Charge Type	No	Whether the step uses Hosted or Personal billing.
When the step fails	No	Controls whether the workflow should Terminate Workflow or Continue if this step fails.
Use the Insert Variable button next to Prompt when part of the image description should come from workflow inputs or earlier steps.

This step uses Settings and Output tabs. The Output tab shows the generated images as a gallery after a successful test run.

Output

This step outputs an array of generated asset records. Each item includes uploaded asset data such as:

• id

• file_url

• file_name

• file_size

• file_type

Use the base output reference to pass the full array forward:

{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}

To reference a specific generated image field, use an indexed path such as:

{{step_2.output.0.file_url}}
{{step_2.output.0.file_name}}

Use the variable picker after a test run to confirm the exact path you want to insert.

Example

Add Image Generation to your workflow.

Write a detailed Prompt such as Create a product hero image for a blue insulated water bottle on a clean studio background.

Choose a Size, set Image Count, then adjust Quality, Background, Moderation, and Output Format as needed.

If you want smaller JPEG or WebP output, lower Output Compression. If you keep Output Format set to PNG, that compression control stays disabled.

Click Run in the step header. After the run finishes, open Output to review the returned images and use the variable picker to reference the generated asset fields in later steps.

Notes

• If Output Format is JPEG, Transparent is not available in Background.

• If Output Format is PNG, Output Compression is disabled in the editor.

• This step returns uploaded asset records, not just raw image bytes.

• Generated file URLs are useful when a later step needs to pass an image reference forward.
