Molmo2-4B Prompt Optimizer: Enhance prompts for image and video generation with intelligent restructuring, style guidance, and context-aware improvements. Open-source vision-language model. Ready-to-use REST API, no cold starts, affordable pricing.

Features

Enhance your prompts for better AI generation results with Molmo2 Prompt Optimizer. This intelligent tool analyzes your input — whether text or image — and generates optimized prompts tailored for different styles and output modes. Perfect for improving text-to-image and text-to-video generation quality.

Why It Works Great

  • Dual input modes: Analyze images or text to generate optimized prompts.
  • Multiple styles: Optimize for artistic, photographic, technical, anime, or realistic output.
  • Image & video support: Generate prompts optimized for either image or video generation.
  • Instant results: Fast processing for seamless workflow integration.
  • Ultra-affordable: Just $0.003 per optimization — 333 runs for $1.
  • Quality boost: Get better results from your generation models.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageNoReference image to analyze and describe.
textNoText prompt to enhance and optimize.
styleNoOutput style: default, artistic, photographic, technical, anime, or realistic.
modeNoTarget generation type: image or video. Default: image.

How to Use

From Image

  1. Upload an image — the image you want to describe or recreate.
  2. Select style — choose the aesthetic direction.
  3. Select mode — image or video generation target.
  4. Run — get an optimized prompt describing the image.

From Text

  1. Enter your prompt — your basic idea or description.
  2. Select style — choose the aesthetic direction.
  3. Select mode — image or video generation target.
  4. Run — get an enhanced, detailed prompt.

Mode Options

ModeDescription
imageOptimizes prompts for text-to-image models
videoOptimizes prompts for text-to-video models with motion descriptions

Best Use Cases

  • Image Captioning — Generate detailed prompts from reference images.
  • Prompt Enhancement — Upgrade basic prompts to detailed descriptions.
  • Style Conversion — Reframe prompts for different aesthetic styles.
  • Cross-model Optimization — Adapt prompts for image vs video generation.
  • Batch Processing — Optimize many prompts affordably at scale.
  • Learning Tool — Understand what makes effective generation prompts.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Use image input to reverse-engineer prompts from existing artwork.
  • Match style to your target model’s strengths (anime for anime models, etc.).
  • Switch mode to “video” when targeting video generation for motion-aware prompts.
  • Combine: upload image + add text for context-aware optimization.
  • At $0.003 per run, experiment freely to find optimal prompt styles.

Notes

  • Provide either image or text (or both) as input.
  • Processing is near-instant for rapid iteration.
  • Video mode adds motion and temporal descriptions to prompts.
  • Results can be directly used with generation models on WaveSpeed.

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
imagestringNo-Image to use as context for prompt optimization.
textstringNo--Text to expand or use as context for prompt optimization.
stylestringNodefaultdefault, artistic, photographic, technical, anime, realisticStyle or tone to apply to the optimized prompt.
modestringNoimageimage, videoThe aim of the optimization, either for image or video generation.
enable_sync_modebooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models.
