Open standard
Open Image Template Schema
Version 1.2.0 defines a portable JSON format for reusable AI image generation templates: a visible prompt, editable slots, prompt-builder controls, suggested models, examples, provenance, and license metadata.
Visible prompt
No hidden marketplace prompt. The generation recipe is readable and copyable.
Prompt builder
Slots, look controls, extra details, and toggles make the template usable without editing JSON.
Portable examples
Example images include date and schema version for provenance.

}Open source schema
The schema is intended to live as an open standard. The public GitHub organization is available at github.com/openimagetemplates, and every template page links to a machine-readable JSON endpoint.
License and attribution
Public catalog entries identify their creator and license. Integrations should preserve the canonical template URL, schema version, creator, and license when importing or republishing template data.
Read the license guidanceSensitive-content metadata
Templates can set the optional nsfw boolean. Galleries should hide preview imagery for these templates by default, provide an individual reveal control, and let adults persist a site-wide viewing preference.
Required fields
standardschema_versionidtitledescriptionpromptslotscontrolssuggested_modelsexampleslicenseWhat is a template?
A template is a reusable image generation recipe: a visible prompt plus structured metadata that explains how to customize and reuse it.
What are slots?
Slots are the main movable parts of the prompt. Each slot has a stable name, a human label, and an example value.
How controls compile
Controls add optional style, palette, lighting, photography, material, medium, extra detail, and toggle instructions to the prompt-builder output.
How examples work
Example images include the image URL, generated date, and schema version so a gallery or agent can understand provenance.
How to implement it
Render slots as inputs, look controls as selectable tiles, details as a text area, and toggles as on/off choices. Keep the full prompt visible in HTML.
How agents retrieve it
Every template can expose /templates/{id}.json with the same data shown on the human page, including prompt, controls, examples, and license.
