Why deAPI for
AI image editing?

Build a complete image editing pipeline without stitching together expensive SaaS tools. deAPI gives you direct API access to open-source AI models — image generation, editing, upscaling, and background removal — all on decentralized GPU infrastructure at a fraction of the cost. See the full list of models.

4-Step Pipeline

Generate, edit, upscale, and remove backgrounds — chain four API calls into one automated workflow.

AI-Powered Editing

Qwen Image Edit for precise modifications, FLUX-2 Klein for creative transformations — two img2img models for any editing need.

Low Cost

Full editing pipeline from ~$0.01. Decentralized GPUs keep image editing affordable at any scale.

Open-Source Models

No vendor lock-in. FLUX, Qwen, and dedicated upscale/rmbg models — swap anytime as better ones emerge.

Four Steps to a Perfect Image

Each step is a separate API call — compose them into any workflow

Step 1: Generate an Image

What it does

Create any image from a text description. Photorealistic photos, illustrations, product mockups, marketing visuals — describe it and the AI generates it. FLUX-2 Klein delivers high-quality results in seconds.

API workflow

Single POST to /txt2img with your prompt, model, and dimensions. Receive a download URL with the generated image. Use prompt enhancement for optimized results automatically.

Available Models

FLUX-2 Klein Text → Image

Fast, high-quality photorealistic images

from $0.00141/img

Z-Image Text → Image

Alternative model for stylized images

from $0.00248/img

Prompt Enhancement AI Boost

Optimize prompts for better image generation

Step 2: Upscale the Image

What it does

Increase image resolution by 2× to 4× while preserving and enhancing details. AI upscaling adds realistic texture, sharpens edges, and removes artifacts — turning a 512px image into a crisp 2048px result.

API workflow

POST to /img-upscale with the image URL and scale factor (2× or 4×). Receive a high-resolution version of the image. Works with any image source.

Available Models

AI Upscaler 2×–4×

AI-powered resolution enhancement with detail preservation

from $0.003/image

Step 3: Edit with AI

What it does

Modify existing images using AI. Two approaches: Qwen Image Edit for instruction-based editing (“change the sky to sunset”) and FLUX-2 Klein for style transfer and creative transformations with multi-image compositing support.

API workflow

POST to /img2img with the source image URL, editing prompt, and model choice. Qwen uses text instructions for targeted edits; FLUX-2 Klein supports up to 3 input images for compositing and style transfer.

Available Models

Qwen Image Edit Img → Img

Instruction-based editing, 256–1024px, up to 50 steps

from $0.002/edit

FLUX-2 Klein Img → Img

Style transfer, up to 1536px, multi-image compositing (3 inputs)

from $0.00659/edit

Step 4: Remove Background

What it does

Instantly remove backgrounds from any image with pixel-perfect accuracy. Handles complex edges like hair, fur, and transparent objects. Output a clean PNG with transparent background, ready for compositing.

API workflow

POST to /img-rmbg with the image URL. Receive a transparent PNG. No configuration needed — the model automatically detects and removes the background.

Available Models

Background Removal Instant

Pixel-perfect background removal with transparency

from $0.003/image
