Darkroom

By D3 Creative

Generate images with Google's Nano Banana models from the Statamic Control Panel and save them straight into your asset library.

1.0.1

October 2nd, 2026

Changed

  • The README no longer has a Testing section. Running the test suite is only needed to work on Darkroom itself.
  • The README lists the requirement as Statamic 6 rather than a point release. Composer still enforces the exact version.

1.0.0

October 2nd, 2026

First release.

Added

  • Generate images from the Control Panel with Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana 2 Lite, using your own Google API key.
  • Google's description of the chosen model is shown below the Model menu.
  • Choose aspect ratio (Auto plus ten ratios), quality (1K, 2K, 4K, plus 0.5K on Nano Banana 2), file type (JPEG, WebP or PNG) and a batch size of 1 to 4.
  • Estimated cost shown before generating.
  • Preview each image, then save it with a filename and alt text into a folder chosen in Statamic's own asset browser, where folders can also be created. Or discard it.
  • Filenames are slugified as they are typed or pasted.
  • Images are saved at full size, through Statamic's normal upload path.
  • Write alt text for an image with one click, using a Gemini text model on the same API key.
  • Upscale any unsaved or saved image to a larger size, on any model, with the pixel size and price of each option shown.
  • Reusable system instructions, with an optional default.
  • Saved prompts that remember their settings.
  • History tab listing every saved image, searchable by prompt, filename, alt text or system instruction, and paged like the Assets listing. Click an image to edit the asset in Statamic's own editor without leaving Darkroom, or reuse its prompt and settings, or upscale it.
  • Trash. Tick images in History and move them to Trash, where they stay in the asset library and keep working until they are deleted after 30 days. Restore them, or delete them forever from the Trash tab, which appears only while it has anything in it. Darkroom checks whether an image is used on the site first, offers to keep it in the asset library instead, and never deletes a used image automatically.
  • Spend tab with an estimated total per month, by model, and an itemised list. Each user sees their own images; the See everyone's spend in Darkroom permission shows everyone's.
  • Generation and saving run after the response, so no queue worker is needed.
  • An expired session says to reload and log in again.
  • darkroom:smoke and darkroom:prune commands.
  • Uninstall instructions in the README, including what Darkroom leaves behind.
