Image-to-Image Generation

Use an existing image as a reference to generate new images:

# Place a person in a new scene
uv run genai-cli image "Place this person in a modern datacenter with server racks and blue LED lights" \
  --input ./​person.png \
  --aspect 16:9

# Transform a photo
uv run genai-cli image "Convert to anime style, vibrant colors" \
  --input ./​photo.jpg

# Add elements to an existing image
uv run genai-cli image "Add a sunset background and dramatic lighting" \
  --input ./​portrait.png

Use cases for image-to-image:

• Place people in new environments/​scenes
• Style transfer (photorealistic to anime, etc.)
• Add or modify elements in existing images
• Create variations of a reference image
• Professional headshots in different settings

Supported Aspect Ratios

Examples

Basic Generation

uv run genai-cli image "A sunset over mountains" --aspect 16:9

High Quality Portrait

uv run genai-cli image "Professional headshot, studio lighting" --aspect 3:4 --quality 95

Batch Generation

uv run genai-cli image "Abstract art, vibrant colors" --variations 5 --aspect 1:1

Person in Datacenter (Image-to-Image)

uv run genai-cli image "Place this person in a modern datacenter environment with server racks, blue LED lights, professional IT atmosphere" \

Images are saved to ./​genai_outputs/ by default:

• genai_image_001.png
• genai_image_002.png (if variations > 1)
• etc.
