Visuals

Subject-aware image generation

Stable image URLs, generated when you need them.

Define a subject once. Visuals turns every requested image path into a generated, cached PNG served from the edge.

Give every agent, node, ticket, device, animal, or demo record a stable visual identity without pretending it is a literal photo.

How it works

One subject. Any ID. A cached image URL.

Visuals keeps the subject definition centralized and lets your product request images exactly where they are needed.

1

Create a subject

Name it and describe the image family you want once.

2
/{tenant}/sheep/{id}

Use the URL

Request any image ID for that subject from your app, table, or pipeline.

3

Let Visuals handle it

Placeholder first, generated image stored and cached after.

Why it works well

Predictable paths instead of image chores.

Stable identity comes from the subject and ID, not from manual uploads or pre-rendering every possible record.

Predictable URLs

Use deterministic paths that fit existing image tags, markdown, and APIs.

Stable identity

The same subject and ID resolve to the same visual family every time.

Generated on demand

Start with placeholders, then cache generated PNGs when they are requested.

Edge delivery

Generated assets are stored and delivered through CloudFront-friendly URLs.

Reusable libraries

Keep subject prompts repeatable and organized inside tenant-scoped libraries.

Useful before photo ops

Prototypes, demos, tests, internal tools, and production-adjacent workflows.

Built for

Entities that need identity, not exact photography.

Category-aware visuals make dense screens easier to scan while keeping every generated image related to its subject.

Robot-like AI agent visual

AI agents

Robot-like identities for assistants, workers, and synthetic users.

Rendered infrastructure hardware visual

Infrastructure

Rendered hardware for nodes, clusters, devices, and environments.

Same-breed livestock visual

Livestock

Distinct animals within one breed, farm, or inspection workflow.

Paper ticket stack visual

Support tickets

Consistent paper visuals for cases, incidents, and IT tasks.

Rendered IoT device visual

IoT devices

Stable generated identities for sensors, gateways, and endpoints.

Rendered office building visual

Graph nodes

Organizations, buildings, and objects that benefit from visual grouping.

Product mockup visual

Product mockups

Reusable content families for prototypes, docs, and design systems.

Dynamic content pipeline visual

Dynamic content

Visuals for test data, marketing experiments, and generated records.

design systems demo data documentation marketing experiments internal tools dynamic content pipelines

Example

The subject stays centralized.

Subject name
sheep
Prompt
a sheep in a grass field on a sunny day
URL pattern
https://images.visuals.stable.engineering/{tenant}/sheep/{id}
Generated sheep image for sheep id 123 sheep/123
Generated sheep image for sheep id 812 sheep/812
Generated sheep image for sheep id 994 sheep/994

Where it fits

Recognizable identity over literal truth.

Visuals is best when the image helps people recognize and scan an entity, not when the image is expected to prove what the exact item looks like.

Good fit

Stable visual families for entities that do not need real photos.

  • agents
  • sheep
  • hardware
  • tickets
  • graph nodes
  • demo content

Not a fit

Listings or products where users expect the exact real-world item.

  • real estate listings
  • marketplaces
  • retail products
  • cars for sale
  • travel destinations
  • anything sold as literal photography

Security and access

Passkey-style sign-in

Use modern WebAuthn access for a cleaner sign-in flow.

Tenant-scoped content

Keep subject libraries and generated images organized by tenant.

Developer section

Drop stable visuals into any interface.

Deterministic URLs are easy to integrate, cache-friendly, and scalable without adding manual upload flows. 

const imageUrl = generateAvatar({
  subject: "sheep",
  id: "123",
});

// https://images.visuals.stable.engineering/acme-farm/sheep/123
URL placeholder queue S3 PNG CloudFront

Create your first subject.

Generate stable visuals for anything that needs identity, not manual image handling.
