Artbreeder AI Image Creator

🎨 Artbreeder AI Image Creator for text prompts

Artbreeder AI Image Creator generates images from text prompts on Artbreeder and saves one dataset row for each image that Artbreeder returns. Use it to run repeatable prompt tests, export image URLs with model settings and safety flags, and connect Artbreeder generation to Apify API workflows.

• Use an Artbreeder AI Image Creator to generate image URLs from product, design, character, or content prompts.
• Run a text to image generator from Apify Console, API calls, schedules, or webhooks.
• Create Artbreeder prompt experiments with model, shape, negative prompt, guidance scale, inference steps, and seed controls.
• Export generated image metadata with dimensions, safety flags, source URLs, seeds, and run timestamps.
• Build AI image batches for mood boards, creative testing, product mockups, content drafts, and design research.

📦 Data you can export

Each output item represents one successfully generated Artbreeder image. Fields include:

• prompt and promptIndex
• imageUrl
• width and height
• model
• shape
• isNsfw
• generatedAt
• settings.guidanceScale
• settings.numInferenceSteps
• settings.seed
• settings.imagesPerPrompt
• settings.negativePrompt when you provide one
• safety.isNsfw
• safety.topWords when Artbreeder returns safety or topic signals
• sourcePlatform
• sourceUrl

The imageUrl is the generated image asset returned by Artbreeder. Store it promptly if your workflow needs a long-lived copy, because source-hosted generated media URLs can be time-bound.

Rows are saved as images finish. Use promptIndex, prompt, and settings.seed to match each image back to the requested prompt and generation settings.

🚀 How to run

1. Add one or more image prompts in Prompts.
2. Keep Images per prompt at 1 for the first run.
3. Choose an Artbreeder model and shape.
4. Optionally add a negative prompt, seed, guidance scale, or inference steps.
5. Start the Actor.
6. Open the dataset and use imageUrl for each generated image.

Clear visual prompts work best. Include the subject, medium, scene, style, lighting, color, or composition you care about.

⚙️ Input

{
	"prompts": [
		"a small red glass apple on a clean white table, studio photo"
	],
	"imagesPerPrompt": 1,
	"modelVersion": "sdxl-1.0-lightning",
	"shape": "square",
	"guidanceScale": 1,
	"numInferenceSteps": 4
}

Prompts are Artbreeder text-to-image prompts. Empty and duplicate prompts are ignored. The Actor accepts up to 50 unique prompts in one run.

Images per prompt controls how many generated images to save for each prompt, from 1 to 4.

Model supports Flux Dev, Flux Schnell, Flux Krea, SDXL Lightning, SD 3.5 Large, SD 3.5 Medium, and SDXL 1.0.

Shape supports square, wider, wide, tall, and taller image layouts.

Negative prompt is optional. Use it when you want to avoid specific visual elements such as text, blur, watermark, or extra limbs.

Guidance scale, Inference steps, and Seed are advanced controls for prompt experiments. Leave them at the defaults for a simple first run.

💸 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each generated image that is successfully saved to the dataset. Invalid input, skipped generations, and runs that do not save generated images do not create generated-image events.

There is no separate Actor-start charge in this pricing artifact.

🔌 Integrations

• Run the Actor from Apify Console for quick prompt tests.
• Call the Actor through the Apify API when your app needs prompt-based image generation.
• Schedule repeat runs for recurring creative checks or prompt batches.
• Export dataset rows as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.
• Connect webhooks or downstream tools to receive generated image rows after each run.

❓ FAQ

🔐 Do I need an Artbreeder account?

No. The Actor does not ask for Artbreeder cookies, login details, or an Artbreeder API key.

🧠 Can I use this as a text to image generator?

Yes. Add one or more text prompts, choose the Artbreeder model and shape, and the Actor returns generated image URLs plus metadata in the dataset.

🔢 Can I generate more than one image per prompt?

Yes. Use Images per prompt to choose how many generated images to save for each prompt. The public input allows 1 to 4 images per prompt.

💾 Does it download image files into Apify storage?

No. The Actor returns generated image URLs and metadata in the dataset. It does not save binary image files to key-value storage.

🧹 Are failed generations saved as rows?

No. Dataset rows are only generated images. Warnings and handled input issues are shown in the run logs.

🧯 What happens if Artbreeder cannot generate every requested image?

The Actor keeps successful rows, logs the affected prompt, and finishes the run. Source-side capacity, safety handling, unavailable models, or temporary generation errors can affect output count.

🧪 Can I make repeatable Artbreeder prompt experiments?

Yes. Set a seed, model, shape, guidance scale, and inference steps to make prompt tests easier to compare across runs.

🧰 Why not use the Artbreeder API?

Use this Actor when you want Apify runs, dataset exports, schedules, webhooks, and pay-per-event usage without adding Artbreeder credentials or building your own integration.

🔄 What are Artbreeder alternatives?

If you need another public text-to-image source, try a Craiyon image generation Actor. If you need image processing instead of image generation, use an image resize or watermark Actor.
