Changelog

May 20, 2025

  • Resolved an issue where Glyphs images were printed too small
  • Fixed compatibility issue with Crayons model in Turbo mode

March 12, 2025

  • Added transparent background option that removes the background from images and saves them as PNG files with transparency. For Sharpie and Whiteboard models, the white background is removed. For Chalk model, the black background is removed.

February 26, 2025

  • Improved speed of The Selector
  • Added Turbo mode: if you want ultra-fast images at the potential cost of quality, Turbo mode will give you upto 4 images in 3 seconds. This is particularly useful if you plan on selecting the best candidate(s) yourself. The crayons model does not yet support Turbo mode.
  • Added option to disable The Selector. This generates just 1-4 image(s) at a time as opposed to 10 to select the best ones. This too will improve the speed at the potential cost of quality.

February 20, 2025

  • Added crayons model to create extremely realistic children's doodles. Thanks to Pontus Lindman for supplying his kid's drawings as training data. This model does not use The Selector, as it is so forgiving in the way it portrays subjects. Drawing an extra leg or misplacing an eye is all acceptable in this model.

January 31, 2025

  • Fixed a bug that would disable upscaling.
  • While trying out a newer version of the models, speed is temporarily slowed down to roughly 15s per request.
