Show HN: Nano2Image – Turn prompts and reference photos into images (no signup)

https://nano2image.com
1•xiaoyuan23•2h ago
I built Nano2Image: a tiny tool that turns a text prompt and/or a reference photo into a usable image in seconds. The goal is the fastest way to get something decent for e-commerce thumbnails, social headers, or quick design trials—without a login wall.

What it does now

Text → image and reference image → image (image-to-image).

Preset aspect ratios (1:1, 3:4, 9:16) to avoid post-crop.

No account required for a quick trial (daily rate limit to prevent abuse).

A minimal, guided UI: only the knobs most people need to ship a result.

How it’s built / trade-offs

Next.js on Cloudflare Pages (fast cold starts, global CDN).

Supabase for simple per-day quotas and lightweight logs.

Reference handling via https image URL to keep the front end lean.

Basic file checks; no batch queue yet to keep infra simple.

What’s intentionally different

Optimized for reference-driven results and speed-to-first-image.

Fewer choices by design—aiming for “good enough, quickly,” not a studio console.

Known limits / near roadmap

Character/identity consistency over long series isn’t robust yet.

No workspace/history or batch generation (planned).

Upcoming: batch mode, visual style/lighting presets, and shareable recipe links.

I’d love feedback on

Reliable input rules for reference images (size/crop/compression).

The minimum set of parameters you still want for practical outputs.

Whether recipe export or batch mode should land first.

Demo: https://nano2image.com/

I’ll be in the comments to answer questions and ship fixes quickly.
