The use of AI image generators is currently trending online. The fundamental technology of these technologies is not new. They are currently becoming more approachable for the average user. While some of these text-to-art converters are free, others only allow for payment or offer free trials.
What exactly is an AI image generator?
An AI image generator is essentially a programme that uses machine learning to create art. It will ask you what kind of art you want to make using text prompts in its most basic form before making an attempt to create it. They can be used to make original desktop wallpaper backgrounds or character graphics for your board game. Think about creating a funny meme. On the other hand, some people create memes.
- DALL-E 2
DALL-E 2 is one of the greatest programmes for producing unique AI graphics. Users of different skill levels can find their niche with the text-to-image generator thanks to the tool’s range of possibilities. Additionally, it has tools for developers that guarantee originality and allow for quality-preserving photo resizing.
On September 28, 2022, DALL-E 2 accepted registrations from the general public. But there are limits: After your first month of enrollment, you’ll get 15 free credits that you may use to make images. The number of free credits you can obtain each month will therefore be limited to 15, and none of them will roll over from one month to the next. You can buy extra credits for $15, which is equal to 115 credits.
- Mid-journey
Midjourney may produce some of the most beautiful, colourful photos available, while not being the most user-friendly AI image generator. Contrary to the other photo generators on this list, Midjourney’s generator can only be accessed through a Discord server, therefore you’ll need a Discord account and to join the server in order to use it. 
Midjourney offers a free trial that includes roughly 25 free picture production tasks, despite the fact that the most of its services are charged. After utilising those, you’ll need to sign up for the service if you want to keep making images. The price of a monthly subscription is $10. Only paid subscribers are legitimate proprietors of the photos they take using Midjourney, and only they are allowed to sell those photos.
- Bing Image Creator
The Bing Image Creator AI image maker from Microsoft is “powered by DALL-E.” With the exception of the requirement for a Microsoft account, this picture generator is simple to use and generates images quickly. (While adding photos, we initially encountered an error page; however, refreshing the website quickly fixed the issue.) Bing Image Creator can be used in a number of different ways.
Boosts are necessary if you wish the processing speeds of the photographs you make to be sped up, even if Bing Image Creator is free to use. When you use Bing Image Creator for the first time, you will receive 25 boosts. Each image you create requires one boost. After exhausting all of your initial boosts, you must use your Microsoft Rewards points to get faster processing.
- Jasper
Jasper is regarded as a standard tool for producing high-quality AI images in general. With the help of this text-to-image generator, you may make four freely usable graphics from a single prompt.
You can subscribe to the Jasper Art service. The programme offers a five-day free trial after which access to the service costs $20 per user per month.
- Photo-sonic
You can create images from text prompts you submit and choose an aesthetic for using Photosonic, an AI image generating application. Any image you create may be used commercially without attribution, but some people have criticised the final artwork because it frequently looks cartoonish rather than serious. However, Photosonic is a paid service.
When you use the tool, Photosonic will bill you using a credit payment option. You can test it out with five free credits before deciding whether to continue with a sign-up. Following that, a free trial sign-up tier with 15 credits is offered. Once you’ve signed up, you may purchase 100 credits for $10 a month or an unlimited number of credits for $25 a month.
- Craiyon
The Google Play Store offers both a website and an app for Android smartphones called Craiyon, which is an unusual AI picture creator.This free service, which was formerly known as DALL-E Mini, works in a similar manner as its premium version. 
You can generate reasonably high-quality photos from thorough text descriptions. However, Craiyon is prone to server overload, which could result in protracted wait times for creations and regrettable design errors. However, if you’re a free user (one who doesn’t pay a subscription fee), you must give credit to Craiyon and follow its usage policies, which are outlined in its Terms of Use.
- Starry-AI
The AI image maker StarryAI focuses in converting words into works of art that resemble drawings. Many of the results have a fanciful appearance since the programme is good at making nightscape photos, which is how it got its name, StarryAI. 
The service is accessible online and on iOS and Android devices, and the generated photos are free for their creator to use commercially. Up to five works of art are available to you each day without a watermark.
