# Create image

`POST /openai/v1/images/generations`

Generates images from text prompts using OpenAI-compatible format.

**Note:** Azure OpenAI deployments are also supported via the Azure integration endpoint.

**Note:** This endpoint also works without the `/v1` prefix (e.g., `/openai/images/generations`).

## Request body

- object
  - `model` string, required — Model identifier
  - `prompt` string, required — Text prompt to generate image
  - `n` integer — Number of images to generate
  - `size` '256x256' | '512x512' | '1024x1024' | '1792x1024' | '1024x1792' | '1536x1024' | '1024x1536' | 'auto' — Size of the generated image
  - `quality` 'standard' | 'hd' — Quality of the generated image
  - `style` 'natural' | 'vivid' — Style of the generated image
  - `response_format` 'url' | 'b64_json' — Format of the response. This parameter is not supported for streaming requests.
  - `user` string — User identifier for tracking
  - `stream` boolean — Whether to stream the response. When true, images are sent as base64 chunks via SSE.
  - `fallbacks` string[] — Fallback models to try if primary model fails
