Changelog
What's new in ImageLayer
New features, improvements, and fixes — shipped continuously.
Audio Generation & Text-to-Speech
Generate high-quality speech and voiceovers directly from the widget using Google Gemini TTS. Choose from 8 distinct voices, select MP3 or WAV format, and control duration up to 5 minutes.
Podcast Snippet Generation
Create two-host podcast-style audio from any topic — the AI writes the script and synthesizes both voices automatically. Perfect for social media content and LinkedIn posts.
Video Voiceover
Add AI-generated voiceovers to any completed video with one click. Audio is merged with the video using ffmpeg so you get a single downloadable file.
Video Generation (Veo 3.1 Lite)
Generate short videos from text prompts or source images using Google Veo 3.1 Lite. Supports 4–8 second clips at up to 1080p, with brand guidelines automatically applied.
Nano Banana 2 Image Model
Added Google's Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) as a new generation model — delivers character-consistent images with accurate text rendering at just 3 credits.
AI Content Moderation
Pro plan admins can now enable AI-powered content moderation to automatically filter inappropriate images and validate prompts. Configurable categories, blocked words, and enforcement modes available in dashboard settings.
Prompt Enhancement & Alt-Text Generation
AI now enriches short prompts into detailed generation instructions and auto-generates alt text for accessibility and SEO — powered by Gemma 4 on Cloudflare Workers AI.
Video-Aware Widget UX
The generation widget now fully supports video mode with a dedicated tab, video-specific loading messages, native video player controls, and duration/resolution settings.
Refreshed Loading Experience
Replaced the animated logo during generation with a clean ring loader animation and expanded the loading message pool to 20+ phrases so they never repeat during a single generation.
Dedicated Video Queue & Credit System
Video generation runs on its own BullMQ queue with extended lock durations. Credit costs are dynamically calculated based on model, duration, and resolution.
API Key Creation Modal
Creating API keys now opens a focused modal dialog instead of an inline form, making the flow clearer and ensuring you don't miss copying your new key.
Contextual Tooltips Across Dashboard
Added helpful tooltips to stat cards, table columns, chart legends, and settings tabs so you can understand metrics and controls without leaving the page.
Mobile-Friendly Tooltips
Tooltips now only appear on devices with a mouse or trackpad, preventing confusing tap interactions on phones and tablets.
Preset Guides & Case Studies
Published in-depth guides for every content-type preset — announcements, quote cards, testimonials, product photos, infographics, and more. Added brand showcase case studies demonstrating real-world usage.
Prompt Engine Improvements
Refactored the prompt pipeline for better consistency across generation modes and content types.
Blog Launch
Launched the blog with guides, tutorials, and product updates. Includes full-text search and tag-based filtering.
Performance & SEO Optimization
Lighthouse audit and performance pass across all pages — improved load times, Core Web Vitals, and search engine indexing.
Framework Integration Guides
Added dedicated integration pages for React, Vue, Next.js, Angular, Svelte, and Astro with copy-paste code snippets.
Brand Guidelines
Configure brand colors, tone of voice, and reference images in the dashboard. The AI uses these guidelines to produce visuals that match your brand identity automatically.
Content-Type Templates
Structured content types replace freeform aspect-ratio selection. Choose from LinkedIn posts, Instagram stories, event covers, product shots, and more — each with optimized format presets and prompt defaults.
Analytics & Monitoring
Added usage analytics tracking across the platform for better visibility into generation patterns and performance.
Interactive API Documentation
Published OpenAPI-powered API reference with Scalar — browse endpoints, try requests, and view schemas directly in the browser.
Platform-Ready APIs
Added sub-account management, per-account quota endpoints, and usage-by-account reporting for platform integrators.
Free Plan Hardening
Email verification required before API key creation. Added multiple layers of abuse prevention to keep the free tier fair for everyone.
Security & Trust Page
Published a dedicated security page with encryption practices, data handling policies, and links to independent verification tools.
Reliable Generation Queue
Moved image generation to a background job queue with automatic retries, backoff, and concurrency control. Eliminates dropped requests under load.
LemonSqueezy Payments
Integrated LemonSqueezy as merchant of record for subscriptions and credit packs. Added webhook handling, customer portal for self-service billing, and free tier registration.
Credit-Based Pricing
Introduced tiered plans with credit limits and purchasable credit packs. Usage tracked at the organization level with real-time quota enforcement.
Test Suite & Node.js 24
Added unit and integration tests for core packages. Upgraded runtime to Node.js 24 LTS.
ImageLayer Launch
Initial release of the embeddable AI image generation widget. Generate images from text prompts or rough sketches, with automatic brand overlays — logos, color palettes, and layout frames applied to every output.
Organization Dashboard
Real-time dashboard with usage analytics, generation history, API key management, and team settings. Live data from day one — no mock placeholders.
Authentication & Team Management
Full auth system with email/password login, email verification, password reset, and organization-scoped access control.
