Crevisto CLI: A Developer's Guide to Terminal-Based AI Image Generation
Most AI image tools live in the browser. That's fine for casual use, but developers need something different: scriptable, pipeable, automatable. The Crevisto CLI brings 100 AI image tools to the terminal.

BYOK: Unlimited generations at cost

Scripting and automation
The CLI outputs JSON, making it easy to script:
# Generate and parse the result
RESULT=$(crevisto generate logo-maker --input text="MyBrand" --output ./logo.webp --json)
echo $RESULT | jq '.output_url'
# Batch process a directory
for photo in ./photos/*.jpg; do
crevisto generate ghibli-style --input photo="$photo" --output "./output/$(basename "$photo" .jpg).webp"
done
