AI Image Enhancement: fix key, model, upload, and enhancement errors
Learn how to fix Replicate key errors, upload limits, test failures, and enhancement failures during a run.
On this page
Key points
- Most errors come from Replicate: Key, model, and timeout errors come from your Replicate account, not from DropFlowLister.
- Runs keep going: If enhancement fails during a run, Flow Lister uses the original images.
- Check Replicate billing: A Replicate account without billing set up can't run models.
Setup errors
"Please configure AI settings before enabling enhancement"
Cause: You turned on AI Image Enhancement before saving a key, model, and prompt. Fix: Click Configure, fill in all three, and click Save Configuration.
"Please fill in all required fields"
Cause: Replicate AI API Key, AI Model, or Default AI Prompt is empty. Fix: Fill in every field marked with *, then save.
"Please enter an API key first", "Please select a model first", or "Please enter a prompt first"
Cause: A test needs that field. Fix: Fill in the field, then test again.
"Error saving configuration: …" or "Error loading configuration"
Cause: The browser couldn't save or read your settings.
Fix: Reload the page and try again. If it keeps happening, reload DropFlowLister at chrome://extensions.
Connection test errors
"❌ Invalid API key. Please check your credentials."
Cause: Replicate didn't accept the key. Fix:
- Copy a fresh token from your Replicate dashboard.
- Paste it with no spaces before or after.
- Click Save Configuration, then Test API Connection.
"❌ Model not found. Please select a valid model." or "Could not find model version"
Cause: Replicate couldn't find that model. Fix: Pick a different model in AI Model, save, and test again.
"❌ Network error. Please check your connection."
Cause: Your browser couldn't reach Replicate. Fix: Check your internet connection, VPN, or firewall, then test again.
Upload and test errors
"❌ Please select an image file"
Cause: The file you picked isn't an image. Fix: Use a PNG, JPG, or WEBP file.
"❌ Image size must be less than 10MB"
Cause: The image is over 10 MB. Fix: Resize or compress the image, then upload it again.
"Please upload an image or enter an image URL"
Cause: Image 1: Product Image (Required) is empty. Fix: Upload a photo or paste a direct image URL.
"Image enhancement timed out. Please try again."
Cause: Replicate took too long. Busy models can take a while. Fix: Wait a minute and try again, or pick a faster model.
"Image enhancement failed" or "No output image received from API"
Cause: Replicate returned an error or no image. Fix: Check your Replicate account for errors and billing, then try a simpler prompt.
Errors during a Flow Lister run
"Enhancement failed, using originals"
Cause: Replicate didn't return an enhanced image for that product, for example because of "Prediction failed" or "Prediction timed out after 2 minutes". Fix: No action needed for that listing, since it used the original photos. If it happens often, test your setup on the configuration page.
"AI Enhancement Service not configured"
Cause: Enhancement is on, but the saved setup is missing. Fix: Click Configure and save your key, model, and prompt again.
Note: Check the usage page in your Replicate account to see exactly what Replicate billed for each attempt.
