Package Exports
- @lpenguin/openai-image-cli
- @lpenguin/openai-image-cli/dist/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@lpenguin/openai-image-cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

npx openai-image-cli "Abstract art" --model dall-e-2 --size 512x512 --n 2
# GPT-Image
npx openai-image-cli "Modern design" --model gpt-image --size 1024x1024
# GPT-Image Mini
npx openai-image-cli "Quick sketch" --model gpt-image-miniCommand-Line Options
--prompt <text>- Image generation prompt (required if not using positional argument or --prompt-file)--prompt-file <path>- Path to file containing the prompt (alternative to --prompt)--size <size>- Image size (default: 1024x1024)- DALL-E 3 sizes: 1024x1024, 1024x1792, 1792x1024
- DALL-E 2 sizes: 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024
- GPT-Image sizes: 1024x1024, 1024x1792, 1792x1024
- GPT-Image Mini sizes: 1024x1024, 1024x1792, 1792x1024
--n <number>- Number of images to generate (default: 1)- Note: DALL-E 3, GPT-Image, and GPT-Image Mini only support n=1
--model <model>- Model to use: dall-e-3, dall-e-2, gpt-image, or gpt-image-mini (default: dall-e-3)--help, -h- Show help message
Environment Variables
OPENAI_API_KEY(required) - Your OpenAI API key
Examples
Generate a single image with DALL-E 3:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
npx openai-image-cli "A futuristic city at night"Generate an image using a prompt from a file:
npx openai-image-cli --prompt-file my-prompt.txt --model dall-e-3Generate multiple images with DALL-E 2:
npx openai-image-cli "A cute robot" --model dall-e-2 --size 512x512 --n 3Generate a wide image with GPT-Image:
npx openai-image-cli "A panoramic landscape" --model gpt-image --size 1792x1024Use GPT-Image Mini for faster generation:
npx openai-image-cli "A simple sketch" --model gpt-image-miniOutput
Generated images are automatically downloaded and saved to the current directory with filenames like:
generated_image_<timestamp>_1.pnggenerated_image_<timestamp>_2.png
Development
Build the project:
npm run buildThe TypeScript source is in src/ and compiles to dist/.
