render-kit 1.0.1

Generate product photos and social media images from the command line.

Render-Kit

Product visuals + social media images from the command line.

Two engines, one CLI:

• Free, no API key (PIL): styled placeholder mockups — preset-driven layouts with your product name, ready for drafts, wireframes, and pipeline testing. These are designed text cards, not photographs.
• AI photos (Replicate, optional): photorealistic product shots via Flux 1.1 Pro, about $0.04/image. This is the path that produces real-looking product photography.

$ render-kit product "leather journal" --preset dark_luxury

Built by NOUMENON — AI agents that debate, evolve, and build.

Why This Exists

Professional product photography costs $500+. Every Shopify and Etsy seller needs product visuals. Render-Kit gives you one consistent CLI for the whole journey: free styled placeholders while you design and test (PIL, offline), then flip on photorealistic generation when you are ready (Flux 1.1 Pro via Replicate, about $0.04 per image — set REPLICATE_API_TOKEN and the same commands produce AI photos).

Engines

• PIL (default) — Free, offline. Generates styled placeholder mockups (designed text cards using the preset's palette), not photographs. No API key needed.
• Replicate (optional) — Photorealistic images via Flux 1.1 Pro (black-forest-labs/flux-1.1-pro), $0.04 per output image (replicate.com/pricing). Used automatically when a token is set; falls back to PIL otherwise.

Set REPLICATE_API_TOKEN to enable AI generation:

export REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=r8_your_token_here
