Features

  • Generate images from the current selection or from a prompt entered in a modal.
  • Configurable Replicate model (<owner>/<name> or <owner>/<name>:<version>).
  • Free-form JSON input passed as input to the chosen model — works with any model that accepts a prompt.
  • Optional: copy the generated output (URLs) to the clipboard.
  • Optional: append the generated output as markdown image embeds to the current note.

⚠️ Images generated via Replicate are only stored on Replicate's servers for one hour. Download anything you want to keep.

Prerequisites

Installation

From the Obsidian community catalog (once available)

  1. Open Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
  2. Search for Replicate.
  3. Select Install, then Enable.

Manual install

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest GitHub release.
  2. Copy them into <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/replicate/.
  3. Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed, enabled, and configured with your API key:

  • Command palette: press Ctrl/Cmd + P, search for Generate image(s) using Replicate.com, and press Enter.
  • Context menu: right-click inside a note and pick the same command.

Behaviour:

  • If you have text selected, that selection is used as the prompt.
  • If nothing is selected, a modal is shown so you can type a prompt.
  • Ctrl/Cmd + Enter in the modal submits the prompt.

Configuration

See docs/configuration.md for the full reference.

Quick overview:

  • Replicate.com API Key — your API token. Required.
  • Copy output to clipboard — copies the generated URL(s) to the clipboard.
  • Append output to current note — appends markdown image embeds to the active note.
  • Image generation model<owner>/<name> or <owner>/<name>:<version>.
  • Image generation model configuration — JSON passed as the model's input. The prompt is merged in at call time.
