Image Generation
AnyCap image generation gives agents, creators, and product teams one CLI for text-to-image and image-to-image workflows. You can create net-new visuals, revise existing assets, and run image editing loops through a consistent interface instead of wiring a separate image generation API for every model or provider. That makes it a practical image generation layer for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and anyone using agents to ship visual work faster.
Answer-first summary
Use Seedream 5 when the agent needs a stronger first-pass image, Nano Banana Pro when the workflow starts from an existing asset and needs targeted revisions, and Nano Banana 2 when speed and throughput matter more than maximizing polish on the first result.
Used with Claude Opus 4.7
Claude Code on Opus 4.7 + AnyCap image generation = insane
Claude Code now runs on Claude Opus 4.7 — the strongest reasoning and coding agent Anthropic has shipped. Opus 4.7 still does not natively generate images. Pair it with AnyCap and the same terminal session reaches Seedream 5, Nano Banana Pro, and Nano Banana 2 through one CLI and one login. The Opus 4.7 + AnyCap combo is the recommended default for image-heavy agent workflows in 2026.
How to choose among image models
First-pass quality
Seedream 5
Best when the workflow starts from a prompt and the first image needs to look closer to final.
Open model guide →Revision loops
Nano Banana Pro
Best when the agent already has an image and needs prompt-based edits or more controlled visual revisions.
Open model guide →Speed and scale
Nano Banana 2
Best when the agent needs many variants, quicker drafts, or a more scalable generation loop.

FAQ
What does AnyCap image generation let agents do?
It gives agents one command surface for text-to-image and image-to-image workflows. That means the same CLI can handle first-pass generation, creative iteration, and image editing without separate provider integrations.
Which image models are available through AnyCap today?
The current public image generation surface includes Seedream 5, Nano Banana Pro, and Nano Banana 2. Each model supports text-to-image and image-to-image modes through the same AnyCap image generation API and CLI interface.
Why does this page mention image editing as well as image generation?
Market language often splits text-to-image, image editing, and image generation. AnyCap groups those workflows under one image generation capability because agents frequently need both creation and revision in the same loop.
Is this page about an image generation API or a CLI?
Both. Teams often search for an image generation API, a text-to-image API, or an image editing API, while implementation inside agent workflows often happens through the AnyCap CLI.
Is this only for developers?
No. The same capability supports creators, marketers, operators, and everyday users who need product visuals, social content, thumbnails, or quick photo edits. The agent workflow is just one of the ways to reach it.
