Because the app is not notarized by Apple, macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch. Follow these steps:

Step 1 — Mount the DMG and drag the app to /Applications

Step 2 — Open Terminal and run:

xattr -cr "/Applications/Open Generative AI.app"

Step 3 — Right-click the app in /Applications → click Open → click Open again on the dialog

You only need to do this once. After that, the app opens normally.

Alternative (no Terminal):

1. Try to open the app — macOS will block it
2. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security
3. Scroll down to find "Open Generative AI was blocked"
4. Click Open Anyway → Open

Windows SmartScreen may show a warning because the installer is not code-signed:

1. Click More info on the SmartScreen dialog
2. Click Run anyway

The app will install silently to %LocalAppData% with a Start Menu shortcut.

Open Generative AI is an open-source AI image, video, cinema, and lip sync studio that brings creative workflows to everyone. Powered by Muapi.ai, it supports text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, and audio-driven lip sync generation across models like Flux, Nano Banana, Midjourney, Kling, Sora, Veo, Seedream, Infinite Talk, LTX Lipsync, Wan 2.2, and more — all from a sleek, modern interface you can self-host and customize.

Why Open Generative AI instead of Higgsfield AI, Freepik, Krea AI, Openart AI?

• Free & open-source — no subscription, no vendor lock-in
• Self-hosted — your data stays on your machine
• 200+ models — text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, lip sync
• Multi-image input — feed up to 14 reference images into compatible models
• Lip Sync Studio — animate portraits or sync lips to any audio with 9 dedicated models
• Extensible — add your own models, modify the UI, build on top of it

For a deep dive into the technical architecture and the philosophy behind the "Infinite Budget" cinema workflow, see our comprehensive guide and roadmap.

• Image Studio — Generate images from text prompts (50+ text-to-image models) or transform existing images (55+ image-to-image models). Switches model set automatically based on whether a reference image is provided. Quality and resolution controls visible for models that support them.
• Multi-Image Input — Upload up to 14 reference images for compatible edit models (Nano Banana 2 Edit, Flux Kontext Dev, GPT-4o Edit, and more). Multi-select picker with order badges, batch upload, and a "Use Selected" confirmation flow.
• Video Studio — Generate videos from text prompts (40+ text-to-video models) or animate a start-frame image (60+ image-to-video models). Same intelligent mode switching as Image Studio.
• Lip Sync Studio — Animate portrait images or sync lips on existing videos using audio. 9 dedicated models across two modes: portrait image + audio → talking video, and video + audio → lipsync video.
• Cinema Studio — Interface for photorealistic cinematic shots with pro camera controls (Lens, Focal Length, Aperture)
• Upload History — Reference images are uploaded once and stored locally. A picker panel lets you reuse any previously uploaded image across sessions — no re-uploading.
• Smart Controls — Dynamic aspect ratio, resolution/quality, and duration pickers that adapt to each model's capabilities (including t2i models with resolution or quality options)
• Generation History — Browse, revisit, and download all past generations (persisted in browser storage)
• Image & Video Download — One-click download of generated outputs in full resolution
• API Key Management — Secure API key storage in browser localStorage (never sent to any server except Muapi)
• Responsive Design — Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile with dark glassmorphism UI

The Image Studio automatically switches between two model sets:

Models that accept multiple reference images expose a multi-select picker when active:

When a multi-image model is selected the upload trigger switches to multi-select mode:

• Checkboxes with order numbers — images are sent to the model in the order you select them
• Batch upload — pick multiple files at once from your file dialog
• Count badge on the trigger shows how many images are active; a + badge appears when more slots are available
• "Use Selected" button confirms and closes the picker

The Video Studio follows the same pattern:

The Lip Sync Studio generates audio-driven talking videos using 9 models across two input modes:

How it works:

1. Select Portrait Image or Video mode using the toggle
2. Upload your portrait image (or video) using the image/video upload button
3. Upload your audio file using the audio upload button
4. Optionally enter a prompt to guide the motion style
5. Select a model and resolution (where supported), then click Generate

Generation history is saved separately in lipsync_history and pending jobs resume automatically on page reload.

The Cinema Studio offers precise control over the virtual camera, translating your choices into optimized prompt modifiers:

Every image you upload is saved locally (URL + thumbnail) so you never upload the same file twice:

• Click the upload button to open the reference image picker
• Previously uploaded images appear in a 3-column grid with thumbnails
• Single-image models — click a thumbnail to instantly select and close
• Multi-image models — toggle multiple thumbnails (shown with order numbers), then click Use Selected
• Upload new images with the Upload files button (supports multi-file selection in multi-image mode)
• Remove individual images from history with the ✕ button
• History persists across browser sessions (stored in localStorage)

• Node.js (v18+)
• A Muapi.ai API key

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI.git
cd Open-Generative-AI

# Install dependencies (installs root + packages/studio workspace)
npm install

# Start the development server
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. You'll be prompted to enter your Muapi API key on first use.

npm run build
npm run start

Build native desktop apps with Electron:

# macOS (DMG — Intel + Apple Silicon)
npm run electron:build

# Windows (NSIS installer — x64 + ARM64)
npm run electron:build:win

# Both platforms in one pass
npm run electron:build:all

Installers are output to the release/ folder. Pre-built binaries are also available on the Releases page.

The app is a Next.js monorepo with a shared packages/studio component library.

The packages/studio library is also consumed by the hosted version on muapi.ai — model updates made in packages/studio/src/models.js apply to both the self-hosted app and the hosted version automatically.

The app communicates with Muapi.ai using a two-step pattern:

1. Submit — POST /api/v1/{model-endpoint} with prompt and parameters
2. Poll — GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/result until status is completed

Authentication uses the x-api-key header. During development, a Vite proxy handles CORS by routing /api requests to https://api.muapi.ai.

File uploads use POST /api/v1/upload_file (multipart/form-data) and return a hosted URL that is passed to image-conditioned models. For multi-image models the full images_list array is forwarded to the API in one request.

Lip sync jobs use the same two-step pattern: a dedicated processLipSync() method accepts image_url or video_url alongside audio_url, dispatches to the model's endpoint, and polls until the output video URL is available.
