Installation & Setup
For full install guides—choose your method:
Downloads
- Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux): Download the g4f-go launcher. It is a small self-contained binary that installs CPython and g4f on first run, so no system Python is required.
- Android: Download the G4F Android APK for the native app, or use the g4f-go Termux build on ARM64 devices.
- All builds: Browse every published asset on the GitHub releases page.
The homepage detects your operating system and links to the matching build automatically.
For rapid starts, you can use either Python or JavaScript (web).
Getting Started
📝 Text Generation
Python example for chat completion (with and without web search):
from g4f.client import Client
client = Client()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4.1", # Try "gpt-4o", "deepseek-v3", etc.
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
web_search=False
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)Output:
Hello! How can I assist you today?
🎨 Image Generation
Generate images with a single call (returns URLs or base64):
from g4f.client import Client
client = Client()
response = client.images.generate(
model="flux", # Other models: 'dalle-3', 'gpt-image', etc.
prompt="a white siamese cat",
response_format="url"
)
print(f"Generated image URL: {response.data[0].url}")🧙♂️ Using GPT4Free.js
Use the official JS client right in the browser—no backend needed.
For text generation:
<script type="module">
import Client from 'https://g4f.dev/dist/js/client.js';
const client = new Client();
const result = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4.1', // Or "gpt-4o", "deepseek-v3"
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Explain quantum computing' }]
});
console.log(result.choices[0].message.content);
</script>And for image generation:
<script type="module">
import Client from 'https://g4f.dev/dist/js/client.js';
const client = new Client();
const response = await client.images.generate({
model: "flux", // Or "dalle-3", "gpt-image"
prompt: "a white siamese cat"
});
const imageUrl = response.data[0].url;
console.log(`Generated Image URL: ${imageUrl}`);
// Example: document.body.innerHTML += `<img src="/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fg4f.dev%2F%24%257BimageUrl%257D" />`;
</script>💻 Using CLI Client
