What is ImagePipeline?
ImagePipeline is the image AI API for ecommerce and fashion teams, providing on-model imagery, virtual try-on, background and relight, and ad creative capabilities. The platform consolidates cutting-edge open-source AI technologies including Stable Diffusion (1.5, XL, SD3), Flux, and specialized checkpoints into a single streamlined service accessible via REST API and web interface.
Key features include comprehensive model support with over 15 ControlNet models for precise pose and composition control, full LoRA and embedding support for custom styling, advanced face control tools like Face Lock and Quick Swap, and specialized e-commerce solutions including Virtual Try-On for apparel and accessories. The platform also offers image editing tools such as inpainting, outpainting, background removal, and multi-model general purpose upscaling.
ImagePipeline is designed for developers building AI image applications, e-commerce and fashion brands needing virtual try-on and product photography, marketing and advertising teams creating campaign visuals at scale, interior designers and architects generating space renderings, and game developers creating character concepts and environments. The developer-first API features base64 output, webhooks for asynchronous notifications, and well-documented endpoints.

Frequently asked questions about ImagePipeline
What is ImagePipeline and what does it do?
ImagePipeline is a powerful AI image generation platform and REST API that consolidates cutting-edge open-source AI technologies including Stable Diffusion, Flux, ControlNets, and LoRAs into a single service. It enables developers, creators, and businesses to generate production-quality visual assets with granular control over the image creation process, supporting text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, virtual try-on, and advanced editing tools.
How do I authenticate API calls with ImagePipeline?
After signing up, you generate an API key from your dashboard in the User Credentials section. Pass the API-Key as authorization in the header of every API request. The API key must be kept secret - if leaked, reset it immediately to generate a new key. Enterprise users also receive a server ID upon subscribing to the Enterprise plan.
What AI models are available on ImagePipeline?
ImagePipeline provides access to Stable Diffusion 1.5, XL, SD3, Lightning Models for rapid generation, Flux, and specialized checkpoints like Juggernaut XL for ultra-realistic outputs. The platform also supports over 15 ControlNet models, custom checkpoints, LoRAs, textual embeddings, and IP adapters that can be combined in single pipelines.
How does Virtual Try-On work on ImagePipeline?
Virtual Try-On generates images by combining clothing and model images using the Fashion Image Generation API. You provide a public URL for the cloth_image and model_image, then set parameters like num_inference_steps, guidance_scale (max 20), and samples (max 4). The API returns download_urls with generated images when status is SUCCESS, or a task_id when status is PENDING.
What is the maximum number of images I can generate per request?
The maximum number of samples that can be generated per request is 4. This applies across text2image, image2image, and inpainting endpoints for both SD 1.5 and SDXL models.
How do I handle asynchronous image generation with webhooks?
Webhooks are available on the Unlimited plan and Enterprise plans. Include a webhook URL in your API request data to receive asynchronous notifications when images are generated. The webhook receives the generated image links once the task completes successfully. For large batches, use queued_image_urls to get links prematurely before task completion.
What image editing tools does ImagePipeline offer?
ImagePipeline offers inpainting for editing specific parts of images, outpainting for extending borders, background removal, and a multi-model general purpose upscaler. The Canvas 2.0 web interface also provides interactive creation tools for image editing without API calls.
Can I use my own custom models on ImagePipeline?
Yes, ImagePipeline allows you to upload your own custom checkpoints, LoRAs, and embeddings alongside the pre-trained models. You can mix and match pre-trained models like Checkpoint, LoRA, Controlnet, and embeddings, or upload your own models for maximum control over image generation.
What are the differences between Starter, Professional, and Unlimited plans?
Starter ($9/month) includes 1,000 generations with SD 1.5 and basic features. Professional ($39/month) includes 5,000 generations with SD XL & SD3 plus priority support. Unlimited ($149/month) provides unlimited generations with all Professional features plus advanced tools like Face Control, Virtual Try-on, and webhooks. All plans include API access and unused credits roll over.
When should I choose Enterprise Dedicated Servers over standard plans?
Choose Enterprise Dedicated Servers (starting $399/month for RTX 3080 or $1,299/month for A100) for high-volume applications requiring unlimited images, exclusive production-ready models, no rate limiting, custom pipelines, enhanced performance, and superfast generation speeds. Enterprise users also receive enhanced security and priority support, making it ideal for businesses with consistent large-scale image generation needs.
