Craiyon AI Image Creator

🎨 Craiyon AI image generator for text prompts

Craiyon AI Image Creator generates images from text prompts on Craiyon and saves each accepted image to an Apify dataset. Use it to turn prompts into downloadable image files with source URLs, dimensions, categories, style, shape, and generated timestamps.

• Use an AI image generator to turn product, design, or content prompts into saved image files.
• Run a text to image generator from Apify Console, API calls, schedules, or webhooks.
• Create Craiyon AI image generator results with style, aspect ratio, and negative prompt controls.
• Generate concept art prompts for mood boards, characters, product ideas, and creative briefs.
• Export generated image URLs for JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, HTML, or downstream tools.

📦 Data you can export

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

• prompt and promptIndex
• imageIndex
• sourceImageUrl
• width and height
• category
• style
• aspectRatio
• generatedAt
• downloadUrl

The sourceImageUrl points to the generated image returned by Craiyon. The downloadUrl points to the copy saved by this Actor, which is usually the safer URL to use in downstream workflows.

Rows are saved as images finish, so a multi-prompt run can appear out of input order. Use promptIndex and imageIndex to match each image back to the requested prompt and image number.

🚀 How to run

1. Add one or more image prompts in Prompts.
2. Keep Images per prompt at 1 for the first run.
3. Leave Style and Aspect ratio on automatic unless you need a specific shape.
4. Optionally add a Negative prompt such as text, watermark, blur.
5. Start the Actor.
6. Open the dataset and use downloadUrl or sourceImageUrl for each generated image.

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

⚙️ Input

{
	"prompts": [
		"a simple teal glass button icon with soft studio lighting on a white background"
	],
	"imagesPerPrompt": 1,
	"negativePrompt": "",
	"style": "auto",
	"aspectRatio": "auto"
}

Prompts are Craiyon text-to-image prompts. Empty and duplicate prompts are ignored. The Actor accepts up to 100 unique prompts in one run.

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

Style supports Craiyon's automatic mode plus artistic, photo, illustration, anime, vector, and raw.

Aspect ratio supports automatic sizing, square, landscape, and portrait requests. Craiyon may still return a different final shape, which the Actor reports in aspectRatio.

Negative prompt is optional. Use it when you want to avoid specific elements such as text, watermark, blur, extra limbs, or a color you do not want in the scene.

💸 Pricing

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

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

🔌 Integrations

• Run the Actor from the Apify API when your app needs generated image URLs.
• Schedule repeat prompt batches for content, design, or creative review workflows.
• Export generated images and metadata as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.
• Send finished dataset items to downstream tools with Apify webhooks.

❓ FAQ

🔐 Do I need a Craiyon account?

No. The Actor runs against Craiyon's public prompt generation flow and does not ask you for Craiyon cookies, login details, or an API key.

🖼️ Can I generate several images for the same prompt?

Yes. Set Images per prompt from 1 to 4. Each successfully saved image creates one dataset row and one generated-image pricing event.

⚠️ Why did a prompt return no image?

Craiyon may reject some prompts, temporarily block anonymous generation, run out of capacity, or fail to return a downloadable image. The Actor handles that as a skipped generation and continues with the rest of the run when possible.

🔗 Which image URL should I use?

Use downloadUrl when you want the image copy saved by the Actor. Use sourceImageUrl when you specifically need the original Craiyon-hosted image URL returned by the source.

🧩 Why not use the Craiyon API?

Craiyon does not require you to bring an API key to this Actor. This Actor packages Craiyon prompt generation into an Apify workflow with input forms, API runs, schedules, exports, webhooks, and dataset storage.

🔎 What are Craiyon alternatives?

Other AI image tools may offer different models, editing tools, higher resolution, or account-based workflows. Use this Actor when you specifically want Craiyon prompt generation with Apify storage and exports.
