Studio

A completely rebuilt AI Studio

The new Studio isn't an update — it's a full rebuild. Every workflow has been redesigned around speed, precision, and a non-destructive editing model that keeps your originals safe.

Smart URLs: AI-generated SEO slugs with automatic dimensions.
Natural Language: Specify sizes like "800 pixels wide" or "900x500".
AI Editing: Describe changes naturally — "add a sunset" or "make it vintage".
Resize & Outpainting: Expand any image with AI-powered canvas expansion.
Text Overlays: Drag-and-drop watermarks with full typography control.
Style Modifiers: One-click presets for lighting, mood, and art styles.
Batch Generation: Create 4 variations at once to find the perfect shot.
Reference Images: Upload your own images to guide the AI's style.

CLI

Generate images from your terminal

@inliner/cli brings AI image generation to the command line. Smart mode, Unix pipes, GitHub Actions — no browser needed. Perfect for developers and CI/CD pipelines.

# Install globally (or use npx)
npm install -g @inliner/cli

# Set your API key once
export INLINER_API_KEY=inl_your_key_here

# Smart mode — just describe what you need
inliner-ai "professional-team-modern-office_1200x600.png" -p mysite

# Pipe into other tools
inliner-ai "fluffy cats 900x900" | convert - output.jpg

Commands: generate, edit, inline, images, tags, metadata, projects, usage
Smart mode: parses description, dimensions, and format from a single string
Asset operations: bulk tagging/metadata, transactional collection moves, pattern rename, and CSV/JSON exports from the Images workspace
Output: URL to TTY, raw bytes when piped, -o file to save
CI/CD: use in GitHub Actions with INLINER_API_KEY in secrets to auto-generate OG/Twitter images

MCP Server

Let your AI agent generate images

@inliner/mcp-server implements the Model Context Protocol so Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf can call Inliner tools directly — no copy-paste, no context switching.

# Claude Code — one command
claude mcp add inliner -- npx @inliner/mcp-server

# Cursor / VS Code — .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "inliner": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["@inliner/mcp-server"],
    "env": { "INLINER_API_KEY": "inl_..." }
  }
}

11 tools available to your agent:

generate_image_url

generate_image

create_image

edit_image

get_projects

create_project

get_project_details

Everything under the hood

Smart URL Format

Images are self-describing CDN URLs — embed directly in HTML, Markdown, or code. No uploads, no hosting.

Advanced Resize

9-point anchor, aspect ratio lock, quick presets, AI outpainting, and optional upscaling — all in one tool.

Text & Watermark Overlay

Drag-and-drop text with 9-point alignment, full typography control: font, size, color, background, opacity.

Reference Images

Upload references to guide the AI's style. Per-project libraries keep your visual identity consistent.

Asset Ops at Scale

Bulk edit metadata, enforce quality queues (missing title/alt/caption), merge tags, move collections transactionally, and export CSV/JSON.

API Keys

Format inl_…. Optional expiry, instant revoke. Use in env vars for the CLI, MCP, or direct API.

Role-Based Access

Owners manage billing, keys, and analytics. Members generate and edit — no access to sensitive settings.

CI/CD Integration

Auto-generate OG images, Twitter cards, and product visuals in GitHub Actions — zero manual steps.

Project Namespaces

Organize images by project. Each project gets its own URL namespace, reference library, and settings.
