| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| prompt required | string | — | Describe the image you want to generate. Try using descriptive keywords and context for creative imagery or straight-forward terms for clear visuals. |
| size | enum | 1024x1024 | Choose how big the image should be. Use square for fast results and larger sizes for detailed or wide visuals. |
| quality | enum | high | Set the image's visual quality. Use high for intricate details or medium for efficiency without much compromise. |
| moderation | enum | auto | Choose moderation level for content. Use low for creative freedom, auto for balanced safety. |
| background | enum | opaque | Decide if background should be see-through or solid. Transparent is best for overlays; opaque suits standalone images. |
| output_compression | integer | 100 | Select how compressed the output image is. A higher number preserves quality; lower numbers shrink file size. |
| output_format | enum | png | Choose the file type for saving. PNG is great for quality; jpeg for smaller files. |
