CloviImage

Generate, edit, and enhance images with AI

The content creation bottleneck — sourcing original, on-brand visuals — is a $27B+ market with 62% of marketers citing it as their #1 constraint. CloviImage owns the gap between raw AI tools (require prompt engineering) and expensive creative suites (cost $50–$600/month), offering a unified $9–$79/month workflow that pays for itself in under 2 hours of designer time saved.

What it is

An overview of CloviImage

CloviImage is a complete AI visual workspace that handles image generation, natural-language editing, background removal, format conversion, and stock photo search in a single integrated session — eliminating the tool-switching that currently costs content creators and e-commerce operators 30+ minutes per week.

What makes it different

Built to win, not to blend in

Integrated workflow—generate, edit, remove background, and export in one session with zero tab-switching, unlike fragmented tool ecosystems

Purpose-built for non-technical operators—no prompt engineering required; uses accessible natural-language instructions and pre-built style presets

Native CloviTek ecosystem integration—cross-sell with CloviDecks, CloviBuild, CloviNarrate, and CloviSEO; SSO into platform reduces friction and compounds ARPU

Broad stock photo reach—simultaneous search across Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay, and Depositphotos; no competitor below $30/month offers this scope

Defensible moat—background removal + format conversion + style presets create sticky, high-frequency-use workflows that competitors don't bundle

Precise, controllable outputs—style presets, negative prompts, seed hints, and aspect ratio templates for consistency without requiring design expertise

Capabilities

Key features

AI Image Generation from Text Prompts
Generate photorealistic images from natural-language descriptions using Gemini 2.5 Flash Image; supports custom style presets (6 presets: photorealistic, illustration, product, minimalist, vintage, and abstract), all aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 9:16, 2:3, 3:2), and social media size templates (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, email headers)
Natural-Language Image Editing
Modify existing images using Gemini's edit endpoint with human-readable instructions ('remove the logo,' 'brighten the background,' 'change the shirt color to blue'); Pro+ includes compound edits combining style preset + instruction in a single pass
Background Removal
One-click background removal using rembg model; unlimited across all paid tiers; outputs PNG with transparent alpha channel; enables quick product cut-outs for e-commerce
Format Conversion & Optimization
Convert generated images to PNG, JPG, WebP, and AVIF with quality slider and metadata stripping; unlimited across all tiers; webp output ideal for page speed optimization
Multi-Source Stock Photo Search
Search and preview 4 free stock photo providers simultaneously (Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay, Depositphotos); discovery and preview free; generation from stock results uses generation credits
Generation History & Re-run
Permanent generation history with visual thumbnails and searchable metadata; Re-run from history recreates any previous generation with variations; Free tier limited to 30 days, Paid tiers unlimited
Batch Generation (Pro+)
Generate up to 10 images from different prompts simultaneously via background job queue; Starter tier generates one at a time; Pro and above prioritize queue (40% faster)
Brand Kit & Export Presets (Business+)
Save named prompt packages (style preset + aspect ratio + prompt prefix + negative prompt) for consistent multi-client workflows; export presets save format + quality settings (e.g., 'blog header: WebP 85%')
External API & Webhooks (Business+)
REST API with rate limits (Pro: 100 calls/day, Business: 1,000 calls/day, Enterprise: custom up to 100k/day); webhook events on generation.complete, edit.complete, batch.complete, quota.warning, subscription.changed; enables Zapier, Make, n8n integrations and custom automation pipelines
