The Midjourney Alternative for Developers
High-fidelity AI images without the Discord bottleneck.
Midjourney creates stunning art, but for developers, it's an integration nightmare. There is no official API, forcing teams into brittle Discord bot hacks or manual copy-pasting. Inliner.ai gives you Midjourney-level quality with a developer-first URL and API workflow.
The "Discord Tax"
Using Midjourney in a production app usually looks like this:
- Open Discord β Type
/imagine - Wait for 4-grid generation β Upscale one
- Manually download the file
- Upload to your own CDN
- Copy link into your code
Why Inliner.ai is the Better Choice for Apps
1. URL-Based Generation
Inliner replaces the 5-step Discord process with a single <img> tag. Just describe the image in the URL path, and our Generative CDN handles the restβcreation, optimization, and global delivery.
2. Official API & SDKs
Unlike Midjourney, Inliner is built for code. Our @inliner/js library and REST API provide first-class support for generation, editing, and asset management. No bot-scraping or brittle workarounds required.
3. AI-Powered Asset Management
Every image you create with Inliner is automatically analyzed. While Midjourney images get lost in a sea of Discord messages, Inliner automatically generates titles, descriptions, and searchable tags for every asset.
Studio-quality results, delivered via API.
Comparison: Inliner.ai vs. Midjourney
| Feature | Midjourney | Inliner.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Official API | β No | β Yes (REST + SDK) |
| URL-to-Image | β No | β Yes (CDN Native) |

| Built-in CDN | β No | β Yes (Cloudflare Global) |
| Auto-Tagging | β No | β Yes (Vision AI) |
The Developer Experience Matters
Stop managing bots and start managing code. Inliner.ai provides the same high-fidelity visual output but wraps it in the tools developers actually use: **CLI, MCP, and NPM libraries.**
