Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the world of image generation, making it possible to create stunning visuals with just a few clicks. Here, we review some of the most popular AI image generators available today.


1. DALL-E 2 by OpenAI

DALL-E 2 is a remarkable AI image generator that creates high-quality and diverse images from textual descriptions. It has made significant improvements, including the ability to generate images up to 512x512 pixels in size, compared to the 256x256 pixel limit of the original model. However, it can struggle with complex prompts and may not always produce the intended output. Despite these challenges, DALL-E 2 is a significant step forward in the evolution of AI technology. It can be used from the OpenAI playground for free. OpenAi also offers and API to be able to generate images using Python or Javascript.

2. Stable Diffusion by Stability AI

Stable Diffusion is a unique AI image generator that offers a high degree of customization and control. It stands out from other deep learning text-to-image models due to its ability to run locally on your desktop PC, laptop, or Mac, provided they have at least 4GB of VRAM. This means you can use Stable Diffusion offline, without the need for cloud services, although these are available for those who prefer not to install the software themselves.

DreamStudio’s version of Stable Diffusion takes this technology and adds a range of features, including the ability to adjust image size, decide how closely the AI should follow prompts, and choose from different versions of the algorithm. It also offers in-painting and out-painting features, which can fill in gaps in images or expand an image beyond its original borders. DreamStudio operates on a credit system, providing 25 free credits upon sign-up, which can be used for around 30 prompts or 120 images with the default settings.

3. Midjourney

Midjourney, launched in July 2022, is an AI image generator that is exclusively available through its Discord bot. It is a powerful tool for artistic image creation that doesn’t require any artistic background. Users simply describe what they want to see, and the AI does the rest. However, the results are somewhat unpredictable, with a large dose of randomness. Midjourney is getting better at photorealism, and soon, its images will be almost indistinguishable from normal photos. The basic plan starts at $10/month and the most expensive Plan costs $120/month.

4. Adobe Photoshop Firefly

Adobe Photoshop Firefly, currently in beta testing, is an innovative AI tool that brings the power of generative AI technology to Photoshop. Firefly’s key feature is “Generative Fill”, which allows users to highlight a portion of an image and fill it with AI-generated imagery using a text prompt. However, it does require a certain level of Photoshop skill to use effectively. You need to be a current subscriber to Adobe CC to access Adobe Photoshop beta or Adobe Illustrator beta.

5. Bing Image Creator by Microsoft

Bing Image Creator, developed by Microsoft, is a free AI image generator based on Dalle-2 that offers a user-friendly interface and a variety of art styles. However, it often struggles with creating realistic images and fine details, specifically facial features. Despite these drawbacks, Bing Image Creator is entirely free and features a simple boost system and a recent prompt library, making it a good starting point for those new to AI image generation.
