- Cross-model consistency. Same character works with FLUX.2, MiniMax H3, Krea 2 and other supported models.
- Browser & local GPU generation. Generate images and videos in the cloud or on your own GPU without installing extra software.
- Integrated LoRA training. Train custom LoRAs for style or motion directly in the OmniChar canvas.
- Video generation with sound. Create 5-20 s videos with synchronized audio using LTX-2.5 or MiniMax H3 models.
- API & SDK integration. Use omniChar-sdk to call generation, LoRA loading and character loading from other apps.
Thumbor features
- Smart face & feature detection. Detects faces and key points to automatically crop images around important areas.
- On-demand resizing & flipping. Resize, crop, and flip images at request time without pre-processing.
- Extensible loaders & storages. Supports file, HTTP, Redis and Mongo loaders/storage and allows custom implementations.
- Image filters. Apply chainable filters such as brightness, contrast, grayscale, red-eye removal and blur.
- WebP & size reduction. Serves WebP to supported browsers and applies additional tactics to shrink file size.
- OpenCV off-loading. Can delegate heavy OpenCV processing to a separate farm for scalability.
