+# veida
+
+Generate images from Ruby with **no API key, no account and no card**.
+
+```ruby
+require "veida"
+
+img = Veida.generate("a paper boat on a calm lake at sunrise, soft light", aspect_ratio: "16:9")
+puts img.url          # https://cdn.veida.ai/uploads/....webp
+puts img.watermarked  # true on the free tier
+```
+
+Install:
+
+```bash
+gem install veida
+```
+
+Most image libraries want a key from OpenAI, fal or Replicate before they run once.
+This one talks to the anonymous tier of [Veida](https://veida.ai/?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package), an online AI image generator,
+using a client id the library invents rather than an account you register, so it works on a
+fresh machine with nothing configured.
+
+## What the free tier covers
+
+Measured against the running service:
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Anonymous grant per client id | 4 credits |
+| One text-to-image run | 4 credits, so one image per id |
+| Per-IP ceiling | 30 credits a day, roughly 7 images |
+| Output | 1K, watermarked |
+
+The library mints a fresh client id for every call, so a loop is not limited to one image;
+the per-IP ceiling is what stops it. When that is spent you get `Veida::QuotaError` saying so.
+
+Editing an existing photo is **not** offered here. The editing model costs 30 credits against
+a 4-credit grant, so an anonymous edit could never be paid for. Signed in, the
+[image editor](https://veida.ai/image/chatgpt-image-editor?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package) does that in a browser.
+
+## Past the free tier
+
+Signing in removes the watermark, lifts the cap and opens the larger models:
+[GPT Image 2](https://veida.ai/image/gpt-image-2?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package) when the picture must contain readable text,
+[Nano Banana 2](https://veida.ai/image/nano-banana-2?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package) for instruction following and
+[Seedream 5.0 Lite](https://veida.ai/image/seedream-5-lite?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package) for colour and composition.
+What each costs is on the [pricing page](https://veida.ai/pricing?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package).
+
+## Prompts that work
+
+Name the light, the material and the composition. "A product photo of a mug" gives the model
+nothing; "matte black ceramic mug on pale oak, soft window light from the left, shallow depth
+of field" gives it a picture. Worked examples live in the
+[prompt library](https://veida.ai/image/prompts?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package). The same engine backs the
+[ChatGPT image generator](https://veida.ai/image/chatgpt-image-generator?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package) and the
+[free AI image generator](https://veida.ai/image?utm_source=rubygems&utm_medium=package) in a browser.
+
+## API
+
+```ruby
+Veida.generate(prompt, aspect_ratio: "1:1", timeout: 240, poll_every: 4) # => Veida::Image(url, watermarked)
+
+Veida::QuotaError     # wait until tomorrow, or sign in
+Veida::RejectedError  # reword the prompt
+Veida::TimeoutError   # safe to retry
+```
+
+Aspect ratio is one of `1:1`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `4:3`, `3:4`.
+
+Standard library only (`net/http`, `json`), Ruby 2.6 and up.
+
+Other clients: [Python](https://pypi.org/project/veida/) ·
+[Go](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hanshs474/veida-go) ·
+[MCP server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/veida-mcp).
