Tired of stock photos that look like stock? I shipped the solution β€” looking for beta users

Hey IH πŸ‘‹

I'm Gautam, solo dev on inktag.io. The beta is officially live and open β€” no waitlist, no application. Sign in with your email and you get 5 free images to try it.

The one-liner

Set your brand once β€” palette, render style, and a "never include" list β€” then describe any image. Every output comes back on-brand. No stock photos, no Photoshop cleanup step, no prompt-wrangling to keep things consistent.

The problem I kept hitting

I run a couple of content sites and burned hours every week hunting for hero images. Stock looks like stock. And generic AI image tools drift β€” a "wine cellar" in my brand colors today looks nothing like the one I generated last week. I wanted consistency to be the default, not something I have to fight for every single generation.

So the idea isn't "another image generator." It's locking the things that should never change (your palette, style, aspect, the stuff you never want to appear) so the model only varies the subject. You describe the image; your brand rides along automatically.

What's shipping right now (and what isn't)

I'm shipping this UI-first:

  • A dashboard where you set + lock your brand
  • Type a prompt, pick a size β€” generate an on-brand image in seconds
  • Download the file or copy a hosted CDN URL and drop it anywhere (blog, newsletter, social/OG, docs)

No API or developer embed in this beta β€” those are on the roadmap. I wanted the core "does this actually keep my brand consistent?" loop to be great before exposing it programmatically.

That said: if API access is the thing you'd actually use, reply here or email me. I'm prioritizing the roadmap by what people ask for, and "I'd integrate this if there were an API" is exactly the signal I'm looking for.

The ask

Two things:

  1. Try it and tell me where it breaks. 5 free images, no credit card. Set up a brand, generate a few, and tell me if the outputs actually look like you. Honest feedback > polite feedback.
  2. Want API access? Say so. It's not in the beta yet, but interest moves it up the list.

After the free credits, it's a simple $9.99 pack for 50 more β€” no subscription. Early folks get founder pricing locked in.

Happy to answer anything in the comments β€” how the brand-locking works, why I went UI-first instead of API-first, pricing direction, model choices, whatever.
