ImageRouter

Open WebUI native integration

This guide shows how to combine ImageRouter with a Large-Language-Model in Open WebUI so the same chat can both write and generate images.

Open WebUI native integration

Supported functions:
✅ Text to Image
❌ Image to Image - please use the Official Plugin as a workaround.
❌ Video generation (ImageRouter chat for videos)

Setup

Section titled “Setup”

  1. Open Open WebUI and click your profile picture (bottom left).

  2. Navigate to the Admin Panel, open Settings, and click Images on the left sidebar.

  3. Change the OpenAI Engine endpoint to https://api.imagerouter.io/v1/openai and enter your API key. Get an API key here if you need.

  4. Toggle Image Generation (Experimental) ON. Disable Image Prompt Generation if you wish (recommended).

  5. Set a default model. Any model from this list.

  6. Click Save. (We can ignore steps as they have no effect on images)

Open WebUI native integration setup

  1. Open a New chat and toggle Image generation before sending the prompt. You can also ask the LLM to generate a prompt, then click the little image icon under the AI response. Enjoy!
