Must be unique per task. ### [outputType](https://runware.ai/docs/models/clarity#request-outputtype) - **Type**: `string` - **Default**: `URL` Image output type. **Allowed values**: `URL` `base64Data` `dataURI` ### [outputFormat](https://runware.ai/docs/models/clarity#request-outputformat) - **Type**: `string` - **Default**: `JPG` Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities. - \`JPG\`: Best for photorealistic images with smaller file sizes (no transparency). - \`PNG\`: Lossless compression, supports high quality and transparency (alpha channel). - \`WEBP\`: Modern format providing superior compression and transparency support. > [!NOTE] > \*\*Transparency\*\*: If you are using features like background removal or LayerDiffuse that require transparency, you must select a format that supports an alpha channel (e.g., \`PNG\`, \`WEBP\`, \`TIFF\`). \`JPG\` does not support transparency. **Allowed values**: `JPG` `PNG` `WEBP` ### [outputQuality](https://runware.ai/docs/models/clarity#request-outputquality) - **Type**: `integer` - **Min**: `20` - **Max**: `99` - **Default**: `95` Compression quality of the output.
