Blinkshot: Free Real-Time AI Image Generator
Generate images in real-time with blinkshot, a free AI tool that delivers instant results with every prompt.
Blinkshot is a free and open-source AI image generator that lets you create images in real-time. Users input text prompt and see AI-generated images appear within milliseconds.
This image generator is based on the latest Flux 1.1 Schnell model, a high-speed image generation model designed for efficiency and simplicity.
It relies on Together AI for inference, a Next.js app router with Tailwind, Helicone for LLM observability, and Plausible for privacy-first website analytics.
How to deploy it:
1. You can deploy Blinkshot locally or try the free online demo.
2. Clone the repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Nutlope/blinkshot.3. Create a .env.local file in the project directory. Inside this file, add your Together AI and Helicone API keys:
TOGETHER_API_KEY=
HELICONE_API_KEY=
4. Install dependencies and run the app locally:
npm install
npm run dev
5. This launches a local version of Blinkshot. Enter prompts in the text box and watch as images materialize in real-time. Adjust your text to refine results. The speed allows for rapid iteration and experimentation with different ideas.
