Text to Image APIs

Text to Image API

About Text to Image

Converting text to an image can help convey messages more descriptively, help prevent sensitive text from being copied by crawlers, bots, and viruses on web pages and computers, and more.

What is a Text to Image API?

Text-to-image APIs can perform a multitude of functions. While some may simply turn text into a picture, many can compress and decompress the image, optimize depth, convert file types, work with scanners, and other capabilities.

Conversely, image to text APIs, like optical character recognition (OCR), can pull data from images. Others can perform tasks like turning handwritten notes into editable text.

How does a Text to Image API work?

Text to image APIs interact with a database through GET and POST requests and are usually returned in XML and JSON. Languages often used are Python, cURL, Javascript, and Ruby.

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning technology is progressing to the point that a user can put in a keyword phrase, and the API connects to the endpoint and returns an image created from scratch.

Who can benefit from Text to Image APIs?

Turning text into an image is often used to protect sensitive information. For instance, a developer may not want an email or phone number to be scannable on a website. By creating an image, bots cannot 'see' anything other than the picture's metadata, so the text is protected as long as it is not included in the file information.

Another example is social sites like Twitter and Facebook, where large amounts of text are not feasible. Turning the text into an image allows for a single post as opposed to multiple.

Why is a Text to Image API necessary?

Text to image technology allows for creativity and security online, while image to text and OCR provide functionality and convenience throughout many use cases.

What can you expect from a Text to Image API?

A text to image API should accurately recognize the text, output the correct file format, and provide a stable connection from the originating application to the required database.
