Replicate

Obsidian plugin that integrates Replicate.com and enables using the various image generation models supported by Replicate (e.g., Stable Diffusion, FLUX.1, and many more) directly from your vault.

Demo:

Features

• Generate images from the current selection or from a prompt entered in a modal.
• Configurable Replicate model (<owner>/<name> or <owner>/<name>:<version>).
• Free-form JSON input passed as input to the chosen model — works with any model that accepts a prompt.
• Optional: copy the generated output (URLs) to the clipboard.
• Optional: append the generated output as markdown image embeds to the current note.

⚠️ Images generated via Replicate are only stored on Replicate's servers for one hour. Download anything you want to keep.

Prerequisites

• A Replicate.com account.
• A Replicate API token. Create one at replicate.com/account/api-tokens.
• A configured billing method on Replicate if the model you want to use is paid.

Installation

From the Obsidian community catalog (once available)

1. Open Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
2. Search for Replicate.
3. Select Install, then Enable.

Manual install

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest GitHub release.
2. Copy them into <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/replicate/.
3. Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed, enabled, and configured with your API key:

• Command palette: press Ctrl/Cmd + P, search for Generate image(s) using Replicate.com, and press Enter.
• Context menu: right-click inside a note and pick the same command.

Behaviour:

• If you have text selected, that selection is used as the prompt.
• If nothing is selected, a modal is shown so you can type a prompt.
• Ctrl/Cmd + Enter in the modal submits the prompt.

Configuration

See docs/configuration.md for the full reference.

Quick overview:

• Replicate.com API Key — your API token. Required.
• Copy output to clipboard — copies the generated URL(s) to the clipboard.
• Append output to current note — appends markdown image embeds to the active note.
• Image generation model — <owner>/<name> or <owner>/<name>:<version>.
• Image generation model configuration — JSON passed as the model's input. The prompt is merged in at call time.
