Image Generation Plugins

RealTimeX includes several built-in plugins that add image generation providers. These plugins are managed from Settings > Plugins and are disabled by default until you configure them.

Available built-in providers

RealTimeX currently ships built-in image generation plugins for:

• OpenAI Image Generation
• Google Gemini Image Generation
• FAL Flux Image Generation
• MiniMax Image Generation

What these plugins do

Each image generation plugin adds an image generation provider to RealTimeX. Once enabled and configured, that provider can be used anywhere RealTimeX supports image generation workflows.

These plugins do not all use the same API or the same defaults, so each one has its own configuration form.

Typical setup flow

1. Open Settings > Plugins.
2. Find the image generation plugin you want.
3. Click Enable.
4. Click Configure.
5. Enter the required API key.
6. Review optional values such as base URL or default model.
7. Save the configuration.
8. Reload the plugin.

Common configuration fields

Most image generation plugins use some combination of:

• API Key
• API Base URL
• Default Model

The exact labels vary by provider, but the setup pattern is the same.

Provider ordering and fallback

The Plugins page includes an image generation provider priority chain.

Use it to:

• choose the primary provider
• drag providers into fallback order
• enable automatic fallback when supported

This is useful when you want one provider to handle most requests but still want another provider available if the first one is unavailable.

When to enable multiple providers

Enable more than one image generation plugin when:

• you want a fallback provider
• you need access to different model families
• you use different providers for cost, quality, or reliability reasons

If you only plan to use one provider, keep the others disabled.

Provider notes

OpenAI Image Generation

Best for users who already operate with OpenAI credentials and want a straightforward built-in provider flow.

Google Gemini Image Generation

Useful when your RealTimeX setup already depends on Google's AI stack or you want a Gemini-based image generation path.

FAL Flux Image Generation

Useful when you specifically want Flux-family generation through FAL.

MiniMax Image Generation

Useful when your environment is centered on MiniMax image generation.

Troubleshooting

• If the provider does not appear usable, confirm the plugin is both enabled and configured.
• If the plugin saves but still does not work, reload it.
• If you added multiple providers, check the provider order and fallback settings.
• If a provider-specific API key is wrong or missing, the plugin may show an error on its card.
