Synthetic-Engine — Hyper-Realistic Scene-Based Documents from Zero to One

Hi Indie Hackers,

I've been deep in the synthetic data space for a while. My previous project was very technical. I've now evolved it into Synthetic-Engine — a purpose-built engine that directly generates complete, photorealistic scene images of business documents.

We’re talking invoices, bank statements, receipts, contracts, delivery notes — whatever you need — generated from scratch with production-level realism. No base image required, no ControlNet-style hallucinations (the classic “text turns into gibberish” problem is basically solved), and the output looks like someone actually printed the document and photographed it in a real environment.

This is the new direction — scene-oriented, highly controllable, and visually convincing enough for serious use cases (VLM/OCR training).
The repo is the best way to evaluate it because one real output image is worth way more than a long description. I’ll keep adding more examples over time as I expand the supported document types and scenes.

I’m currently looking for the right partners — whether that’s teams working on document AI, FinTech/enterprise automation tools, data teams who need clean training data without privacy headaches, or anyone who wants to explore commercial applications or integrations.
If this solves a real pain point for you or your product, I’d love to hear from you.
