The Complete Generative Art Pipeline

VariantLab doesn't just generate images. It understands them, deconstructs them into traits, and reconstructs them into infinite unique variations.

How It Works

Four powerful stages that transform a few base images into thousands of unique compositions.

1

Generate or Upload Base Images

Start with AI-generated images using built-in prompts, or upload your own artwork. VariantLab works with any art style, from pixel art to photorealistic renders. Your base images establish the core visual identity that all variations will maintain.

2

AI Trait Detection & Masking

Our AI analyzes your images to identify and segment distinct traits like eyes, accessories, backgrounds, clothing, and more. Each trait is automatically masked with precise boundaries. Define which traits to detect, and the AI handles the complex segmentation work.

3

Variation Generation

For each detected trait, generate multiple variations that maintain the overall art style while changing specific elements. Want chrome wheels instead of rubber? Golden eyes instead of blue? The AI modifies individual traits while preserving everything else.

4

Layer Extraction & Combination

Extract each trait variation as a transparent PNG layer with feathered edges. Then let VariantLab automatically combine all possible trait combinations to create your final collection. From 5 base images with 3 traits each, generate hundreds or thousands of unique compositions.

Feature Deep Dive

Smart Trait Detection

Define traits by name (e.g., "eyes", "hat", "background"), and the AI locates them in your images. Bounding boxes and pixel-perfect masks are generated automatically using vision AI models.

Precision Mask Editing

Fine-tune AI-generated masks with built-in editing tools. Adjust boundaries, add or remove regions, and perfect the segmentation for complex traits that need human touch.

Layer Order Control

Define the z-order for trait compositing. Background layers render first, then body, then accessories, then foreground elements. You control exactly how layers stack.

Transparent PNG Export

Every extracted layer is a proper transparent PNG with anti-aliased edges and Gaussian-blurred alpha channels. Import directly into Photoshop, Figma, Unity, or any tool that supports transparency.

Batch Processing

Process multiple base images at once. The AI applies the same trait detection and variation logic across your entire collection, maintaining consistency while creating variety.

Flexible Resolution

Generate at any resolution from 512px to 2048px and beyond. Export final compositions at the exact dimensions you need for your project, from social media to print-ready.

Commercial-Use Friendly

Every image you create with VariantLab is yours to use for personal or commercial projects — including products, games, apps, and NFTs.
