What is Bria?
Bria is an enterprise visual generative AI platform that delivers controllable, predictable AI image and video generation with full compliance and seamless integration. Built for production at scale, Bria enables developers and enterprises to generate and edit high-quality visual content using structured JSON control rather than traditional prompt engineering. The platform's core innovation is VGL (Visual Generative Language), a structured language that Bria's models are natively trained to read and execute, allowing users to specify every visual parameter explicitly including lighting, camera angle, composition, background, and objects.
Key features include Fibo, Bria's groundbreaking JSON-native text-to-image model that separates over 100 visual attributes for fine-grained control; Reimagine for structure reference-guided generation; Prompt Enhancement to expand simple prompts; ControlNet capabilities (canny, depth, recoloring); IP Adapter for style/content guidance; video editing; ads generation at scale; product imagery editing for packshots and lifestyle images; and the ability to train tailored models that preserve visual IP. The platform offers SDKs, iFrames, APIs, MCP servers, Skills, and plugins for Photoshop and Figma, with deployment options across Bria Cloud, BYOC on AWS/Azure, on-premise, or fully air-gapped environments.
Bria is designed for developers building visual AI products, enterprises requiring brand consistency and commercial safety, regulated industries mandating data control, marketing teams automating creative production, design teams needing consistent aesthetics, and organizations requiring SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and EU AI Act compliance. All Bria models are trained exclusively on licensed data from Getty Images, Alamy, and Envato with full IP indemnification protecting against copyright claims.

Frequently asked questions about Bria
Is Bria's generated content legally safe for commercial use?
Yes. All Bria models are trained exclusively on licensed data from Getty Images, Alamy, and Envato. Every output is covered by full IP indemnification, meaning Bria contractually protects you against copyright claims from generated content. Bria is also SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and EU AI Act compliant with tri-layer content moderation ensuring brand-safe results.
Where can I deploy Bria's visual AI platform?
Bria runs on Bria Cloud, your cloud via BYOC on AWS or Azure, on-premise, or fully air-gapped environments. Your inputs, outputs, and training data never leave your environment unless you choose a cloud option. Full data sovereignty is a deployment option, not just a promise, meeting the strictest regulatory requirements for regulated industries.
What is VGL (Visual Generative Language)?
VGL is the structured language Bria's models are natively trained to read and execute. Instead of prompting with natural language and hoping for consistent results, you direct every visual parameter explicitly: lighting, camera angle, composition, background, objects. Same direction produces the same result every time. VGL integrates into code pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and version control exactly like structured data, allowing programmatic validation and diffing of VGL specs.
What is Fibo and how does it differ from traditional text-to-image models?
Fibo (Fixed Input, Bounded Output) is Bria's groundbreaking JSON-native text-to-image model, the first open-source model designed for long structured captions. Fibo uses a Vision-Language Model bridge to transform natural language prompts and reference images into structured JSON instructions, separating over 100 visual attributes like lighting, depth, color, and composition. This disentangled architecture enables fine-grained, auditable refinement and variation without breaking image coherence, making it ideal for agentic workflows and enterprise-scale creative automation.
How many free API calls does Bria offer to start?
Bria offers 1,000 free API calls with full access to Bria's open-source models and weights to experience generation and editing workflows firsthand. The Free Trial plan includes 500 free API calls monthly cap with 10 requests per minute per endpoint rate limit. Once ready to scale, you can continue with pay-as-you-go or partner for tailored enterprise deployment.
Can I fine-tune Bria models for my specific domain or brand?
Yes. Bria allows you to train your own tailored models that preserve and faithfully reproduce your visual IP, ensuring consistency across all generated outputs. The platform supports private fine-tuned API with dedicated models for enterprise customers. You can fine-tune models for specific domains to generate highly relevant and customized visuals while maintaining brand consistency.
What image formats and input methods does Bria's API support?
Bria's API supports images in two formats: publicly accessible image URLs and Base64-encoded images. For Base64, convert an image to a Base64 string without including Base64 headers (like data:image/png;base64). The API accepts common formats including JPEG and PNG. Reference images for style guidance should be provided as accessible URLs.
How does Bria handle asynchronous API requests?
Bria API V2 endpoints process requests asynchronously by default. When making a request, the API immediately returns a request_id and status_url instead of the final result. You can poll the status_url to track progress through IN_PROGRESS, COMPLETED (with result.image_url containing the generated asset), ERROR, or UNKNOWN states. Alternatively, use Webhooks to have Bria POST results directly to your server when completing, eliminating polling.
Is Bria compliant with the EU AI Act?
Yes. Bria is the first AI provider to fully comply with the EU AI Act. This milestone demonstrates Bria's core belief that generative AI can be both innovative and ethical. The platform also maintains SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance with 100% licensed training data, complete provenance tracking, content moderation, and C2PA watermarking eliminating legal barriers.
What integration options does Bria offer for existing workflows?
Bria offers SDKs, iFrames, APIs, MCP servers, Skills, and plugins for Photoshop (PS) and Figma. Every capability is an independent, composable skill discoverable via MCP, invocable via API, and orchestratable in any pipeline. The platform is built for developers and AI agents equally, with documentation optimized for AI coding agents including an MCP Server at mcp.prod.bria-api.com/mcp and Claude Skill available via npx skills add bria-ai/bria-skill.
