The A.I (Artificial Intelligence) picture generator has become the new buzz tool in the market. Why wouldn't it be? The A.I image generator work like magic and are helping creators worldwide to bring their imagination into reality by entering a few texts.

Just a few months before at the start of 2022, we didn’t even have a single text to image AI generator available for public use, and now we have many of them to choose from. This blog will guide you through all the best AI picture generators you should try.

Best AI Picture Generator Tools

Stable Diffusion

Although Stable Diffusion doesn’t have the novelty to be called the first AI text-to-image generator, that doesn't mean it won't hold the horsepower to execute what it is built for. In fact, it should be considered as the top-of-the-line image generator AI and the reason for that is to look inside how it was built and how it has been managed as of now.

Stable Diffusion was developed by StablitliAI which collaborated with LAION & EleutherAI. And right from the point, it was launched into the market, the source code of Stable Diffusion has been available in the open for the community under the license of Creative ML OpenRail-M, and this has been a game changer. As people are now fiddling with the original code and are set to make the AI better at its job. It has improved to the point where now you also have a Stable Diffusion Plugin for Photoshop.

This open-source approach and the rapid development make Stable Diffusion top of our list of best AI image generator tools. To access Stable Diffusion online you can visit DreamStudio or install & run the stable diffusion software on your computer. You can also access it from a free API-based website called Hugging Face Stable Diffusion. Upon signing up on DreamStudio, you get 200 credits for free but beyond that, you’ll have to pay £1 for 100 credit tokens and £100 will get you 10,000 generations.

DALL-E

Now coming to the ai picture generator software that has started all of this, DALL-E. DALL-E or its latest iteration DALL-E 2 is a product of OpenAI, a research lab that has been co-founded by Elon Musk.

Everyone on social platforms was amazed to see what an AI can do just by throwing some text to it and how quickly it can bring things from imagination to reality. The reason why DALL-E has this immense reputation is that the images generated by DALL-E are more visually appealing and more realistic than its competitors. Users were amazed to see how realistic and accurate images it can generate.

The reason for these ultra-realistic images is because it uses an algorithm that is owned by OpenAI called GPT 3 natural languages machine learning, which is the most advanced algorithm currently available to humans.

DALL-E also has features that allow users to add any object or person to an existing image, and at first, it generates square images but they can be expanded into full resolution the feature is called Outpainting.

To use DALL-E or its latest iteration DALL-E 2 you’ll have to sign up for the waiting list as currently, DALL-E is in its Beta Stage of development. Once signed up your DALL-E account will receive 50 free credits and you can gain 15 credits each month, beyond that it will cost you $15 per 115 images generated.

MidJourney

The MidJourney is another ace in the game along with Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, it is a popular and well-recognized Text to image generator out there. The main reason it has got all the popularity is that a user has won a fine art competition using a picture created on Mid Journey making everyone ask the question of what really art is.

MidJourney has a different take on image generation, instead of realistic image generation like DALL-E it adds more artistic or sketch-type effects to the visual elements. The images are extremely stylized and in general no matter what you type it becomes almost impossible to create a photorealistic image on MidJourney.

Although MidJourney creates pictures of public figures and celebrities perfectly well, then again they are extremely stylized. To access the software you have to use Discord, and operates on discord bot commands. This makes the initial learning of this tool much tricker, especially for someone who is not familiar with discord and its bot commands. But once you start using it operating MidJourney becomes easier.

MidJourney allows the first 25 images for free, and they have 3 different plans for every kind of user. The basic plan is for $10/month for 200 pictures, the standard membership is $30/month with unlimited access, and the enterprise membership is $600/month.

Craiyon (DALL-E mini)

Craiyon has a completely different approach to the online AI image generator. It was previously known as DALL-E mini but it has nothing to do with the original DALL-E or OpenAI. Craiyon was created by a software developer named Boris Dayma.

Craiyon uses a huge amount of publicly available information and images as the reference point and generates an AI image from it. Craiyon is free to use and can be accessed directly from it Craiyon’s website. Although Craiyon does struggle to match other competitors in the quality of image regenerated. However, DALL-E is great with generated faces it just requires more inputs from the user's side. The user has to provide more long & detailed textual information about the image.

Crayon also allows the user to download the images you create as a screenshot rather than high-resolution images. While it is not the best system out there but it is a fun and free way to learn about AI image Generation.
