The cheap image-generation API that hobbyists and indie devs actually use.
DeepAI isn't trying to win image generation benchmarks. It's a battle-tested, dirt-cheap API for adding AI features to your app: text-to-image, image-to-text, colorization, super-resolution, NSFW filter, text generation, even a chatbot. The web UI is bare-bones, but the API is the product — and it just works.
Who it's for: Indie devs building side projects, startups prototyping AI features, students learning API integration. Not for designers who care about photorealism.
Stable Diffusion-based generation via a 5-line API call. Pay per image ($0.05-0.20 depending on resolution). No setup, no GPU config.
Image colorization, super-resolution, background removal, NSFW detector, sentiment analysis, text generation, speech-to-text. All on one API key.
$5/mo gets you 100 API calls. No contract. Cancel any time. Perfect for prototypes that may or may not scale.
One of the oldest AI startups around. Has survived every hype cycle. API uptime is 99.9%+, payments don't break.
DeepAI is the indie dev's AI toolkit. It's not pretty, but it's reliable, cheap, and works. If you need an AI image API for a weekend project, a startup MVP, or a one-off script — start here. If you need photorealistic hero images for a brand campaign, pay for Midjourney or Flux Pro.
