Brand Kits
Brand Kits allow administrators to define reusable combinations of:- Colours

Saved Designs
Members can save projects through My Designs, return to them later, continue editing and generate new versions.Eggy Generator therefore works as an ongoing creative workspace rather than a one-time image generator.

- Design showcases

- Promotional events
- Community inspiration
- Member-created content

Permissions & Usergroups
Generator access integrates with XenForo permissions and usergroups.Administrators can decide which members or groups have access, making Eggy Generator suitable for:
- General members
- Staff
- Supporter groups
- VIP memberships
- Creator groups
- Premium subscriptions
Monetisation Ready
Eggy Generator can become a genuine premium membership benefit.Site owners can restrict access to selected usergroups and include the Studio as part of paid memberships, supporter packages or subscriber benefits.
This gives administrators more than a graphics tool — it provides another feature that can help add value to community upgrades.
Perfect for members. Powerful for admins. Monetisation ready.
Production Rendering
When a user selects Generate, Eggy Generator creates a production-rendered output on the server.The interface provides visible generation feedback while processing, and once complete the finished graphic becomes available for download.
This provides real downloadable output rather than relying solely on browser screenshots.
Native XenForo Integration
Eggy Generator is built as a native XenForo add-on rather than an external service embedded into your site.It integrates with XenForo users, permissions, usergroups, administration tools, jobs and community features.
Your members remain inside your community while administrators retain control over the experience.

- WebP output: ImageMagick WebP support required.
- JPEG output: ImageMagick JPEG support required.
- AVIF output: ImageMagick AVIF support required if you wish to use AVIF.

- Background/batch processing uses the standard XenForo job queue.
Hosting recommendation
Graphics rendering — particularly large canvases, multiple layers, effects and animation — can be resource intensive. A sensible PHP memory limit and sufficient server memory, temporary storage and disk space are strongly recommended.If you are unsure whether your server supports Eggy Generator, please ask your hosting provider to confirm PHP Imagick/ImageMagick support before purchasing.
