Built GhostSVG – a prompt-to-illustration tool for devs, designers, and indie builders

Hey Indie Hackers! πŸ‘‹

Just wanted to share something I’ve been building: GhostSVG, a tool that generates clean illustrations from text prompts β€” designed for devs, designers, and indie founders who want quick visuals for landing pages, docs, decks, or apps.

After building a few SaaS MVPs and internal tools, I kept running into the same issue:
β€’ I needed a fast, lightweight illustration that looked decent
β€’ Stock sites felt generic or off-brand
β€’ AI tools like DALLΒ·E takes too much luck or time to generate a decent one.
β€’ And I don’t always want to jump into Figma or Illustrator just to make a hero image πŸ˜…

So I built GhostSVG β€” something I wish I had years ago.

⚑ What makes it different?

🧠 Prompt-based: Just describe what you want β€” e.g. minimal line-art of a SaaS dashboard
πŸ“¦ Actual SVG markup: Clean, inspectable, and scalable
🎯 Style presets: Line art, flat art, sketch, cartoon-style
🧼 Background-removed SVGs
πŸ“€ Export options: SVG, PNG, JPG β€” ready for slides, sites, or docs

πŸ› οΈ Built with:
β€’ Next.js
β€’ Tailwind CSS
β€’ AI image generation via Fal API
