Everything you need to create at scale

Not just another image generator. OpenCauldron is the full studio for teams that take their creative output seriously.

Workspaces, roles & invitations

Brand-scoped access for clients and freelancers. Token-based invitations, role tiers, and a studio switcher when you run more than one.

Real-time cost tracking

Per-user, per-model, per-brand, per-campaign. Daily limits, spend alerts, and a dashboard that surfaces the whole creative budget.

Live activity feed

See what your team is generating, reviewing, and approving — in real time. The studio's heartbeat, not a stale dashboard.

Unified library · Built-in DAM

Generate and manage in one place

Every asset — generated or uploaded — lives in one searchable library. Tag, collect, and find anything with semantic search. No more bouncing between a DAM and a generator, or losing track of what your team made yesterday.

Generations + uploads in one library

AI output and human-made assets sit side by side. One source of truth for your whole brand catalog.

Tags, collections & semantic search

Tag once, find forever. ⌘K palette searches by prompt, brand, or what the image actually contains.

Brand-scoped galleries with full history

Every generation keeps its prompt, model, and parameters. Reproduce or remix any result years later.

From prompt to approved

Collaborate on every asset

Generation is just step one. OpenCauldron builds the rest of the workflow in — threaded conversation on every asset, a keyboard-driven review queue, and shareable campaign galleries for clients and stakeholders.

Asset threads with @mentions

Every asset has its own conversation. Drop a note, tag a teammate, attach a reference — right next to the image.

Filmstrip review & approval

Burn through review queues with J / K keys. Approve, reject, or request changes — decisions are tracked.

Public campaign galleries

Bundle approved work into a campaign and share it via link — no login required for clients to review the deliverables.

How teams create together

Brands set the rules. Marketers ship the campaigns. Creators bring the craft. Agencies orchestrate. OpenCauldron is shaped around how every creative project actually moves.

Brand teams

Set the visual rules once. Brand presets, shared asset libraries, and review workflows keep every generation on-brief — across every team that touches your brand.

Brand-scoped presets & prompts
Shared asset libraries
Review & approval workflows

Marketers

Ship campaigns at velocity. One brand kit, every platform, infinite variants — without recreating assets from scratch every time the brief changes.

Campaign-ready variants in minutes
On-brand by default
Per-campaign cost tracking

Creators

Generate fast, iterate faster. Every major image and video model in one workspace — no subscription tabs to juggle, no losing track of what you made yesterday.

15+ providers, one interface
Per-prompt cost transparency
Save, share & remix versions

Agencies

Run multiple clients from one studio. Per-brand separation, role-based access for managers and freelancers, and per-client cost tracking that makes billing back painless.

How we handle your data

Four commitments we can make today — verifiable in the source, not in a marketing PDF.

We don't train on your work

Your prompts and generations stay yours. We don't train models on them or share them with third parties. When you bring your own provider keys, that provider's policy applies on their side.

Your keys, your spend

Bring your own OpenAI, Replicate, or model-provider keys. Requests pass through — providers bill you, no markup, no key escrow.

Export and exit anytime

Workspaces, prompts, and assets export to the same schema as self-host. Walk away with your data intact — no lock-in.

Same code, in the open

Cloud runs the source-available studio. Audit it, fork it, or self-host the exact same build whenever you want.

Open core

Built in the open. Run it yourself if you want.

The studio code is source-available under the Sustainable Use License — free to fork and self-host on your own infra in minutes. Cloud is just the same studio we run, hosted for you. No lock-in, no telemetry, no upsell to a different product.

View on GitHub Installation guide

~/opencauldron

$ curl -O .../docker-compose.yml

$ curl -o .env .../.env.example

# edit .env

$ docker compose up -d

Self-host in ~3 minutes — Docker is the recommended path.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing

Is OpenCauldron really free?

Both

Yes — in different ways. Cloud is free during invite-only beta; paid tiers will come later, and you can always bring your own provider keys to keep costs predictable. Self-host is source-available under the Sustainable Use License — you only pay providers like Google or Replicate directly for AI model API usage with your own keys.

Setup

What API keys do I need?

Both

You only need keys for the providers you want to use. For example, a Google AI API key gives you access to Imagen 4 and Veo. A Replicate token unlocks Flux Pro. You can start with just one provider and add more as needed.

Custom models

Can I add custom models?

Self-host

Yes. OpenCauldron has a provider registry that makes it straightforward to add new models. You can fork the repo and add any model that has an API. We also welcome PRs to add new providers to the main project.

Billing

How is billing handled?

Both

On Cloud, generation costs and a monthly subscription for the hosted convenience are charged together (free during beta). On self-host, OpenCauldron doesn't handle billing — your API keys are charged directly by each provider at their standard rates. Either way, the built-in usage dashboard breaks down every generation's cost by user, model, and brand.

Privacy

Where is my data stored?

Both

On Cloud, your data lives in our managed PostgreSQL and R2 storage with per-workspace isolation. Prompts, generations, and brand assets are scoped to your workspace and never shared across customers. On self-host, everything stays on your infrastructure — prompts and metadata in your PostgreSQL database, generated assets in your Cloudflare R2 bucket (or any S3-compatible storage). The self-hosted build doesn't collect telemetry.

Hosting

Can I use it without self-hosting?

Cloud

Yes — OpenCauldron Cloud is the hosted version of the studio. Sign in with Google, get a workspace, start generating — no Docker, no setup. It's in invite-only beta right now; request a spot from the beta form at the top of the page. Prefer to run your own? Docker takes a few minutes — see the installation docs.

License

What license is OpenCauldron under?

Both

OpenCauldron is released under the Sustainable Use License — the same license n8n uses. It's source-available: free for any internal business, personal, or non-commercial use, free to fork, modify, and contribute back. The one thing it prevents is third parties selling it as a competing commercial service. This keeps the project sustainable while staying open to almost everyone who wants to use or improve it.
