Image Pipeline features
- Typed Python & JS SDKs. Drop-in clients with webhook support let you generate images in minutes.
- Provenance & Watermarking. All outputs include C2PA, IPTC metadata and an invisible watermark for commercial licensing.
- Privacy-by-Default. Faces, images and clothing are never stored; results expire after 24 hours.
- Identity & Outfit Swap. Replace models, outfits or scenes via API with segmentation and tone correction.
- Batch & Async Processing. Queue jobs, receive webhooks, and poll status for high-throughput pipelines.
- Extended Media Generation. Studio tier adds video, voice, text-to-speech and 3D generation alongside images.
Replicate features
- One-line model inference. Run any public model with a single line of code in Node, Python or HTTP.
- Fine-tune with your data. Improve existing models by training on your own datasets via the Replicate API.
- Deploy custom models. Package models with Cog to create private, scalable API endpoints.
- Pay-as-you-go pricing. Only pay for compute time or per-output token/image; no upfront fees.
- Hardware selection. Choose CPU or GPU instances (A100, H100, L40S, T4) and scale automatically.
