Explore your imagination with 8 AI art generators
What’s an AI art generator anyway and why use one? Artists and marketers may leverage them differently.
Art means different things to different people. Painters, for example, use the word differently than marketers do. Now dozens of new AI art generators have sprouted up, and the question of “what is art” has perhaps never been more subjective.
AI art generators can spit out photorealistic art and or psychedelic paintings in minutes by typing up a few prompts. If you’re a graphic designer, NFT creator, or just want a new cool cover image for your social profile , this collection of art generators will let you play with this technology to create virtually whatever your mind can dream up.
Uses go beyond art for art’s sake as well. Midjourney, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion are three popular AI art generation models that enable you to create art, and let entrepreneurs create new tools that cater to distinct groups of creatives. While Stable Diffusion is currently the only open-source tool, all three models are available for public use.
These art generators are rapidly expanding the possibilities to create art in all kinds of mediums for all sorts of channels. Whether you want to hang art in your home, dress up your tech, modernize your profile picture, launch ads for your product, or make something for the simple joy of creating, AI art generators can help. Let’s explore some fun ways to incorporate AI into your creative toolbox.
TLDR
DALL.E is the leading AI generative art model. It is trained using stock photography and creates images from written prompts.
The Details
DALL.E is a 12-billion parameter version of GPT-3 trained to generate images from text descriptions. Open AI launched DALL.E in 2021 and many credit the launch for the rapid rise in AI generative art tools. The model is trained with Shutterstock stock photography and is largely regarded as the generative art model for commercial use. Examples of these commercial uses include marketing content, stock photos, and logos, but the tool is not all business anymore.
DALL.E 2 opened to the public in September 2022, and people are excitedly signing up to make art on the platform. Some standout features of DALL.E include expanding and tweaking generated images with text prompts and creating variations inspired by an original work of art. Users get a monthly allowance of credits to create art and can purchase more credits as needed.
From the Community
Minds have been blown, art has been created. Since it launched in January 2021, DALL.E has dazzled with its AI generative art capabilities and 12-billion parameter version of GPT-3. OpenAI keeps making it better. One user shares their experience with the tool: “This is great !!! I've been using GPT-3 and my mind blew. DALL·E is awesome and my mind blew again.”
TLDR
Stable Diffusion - DreamStudio is an easy-to-use web app interface for creating images with Stable Diffusion.
The Details
Type in a prompt and hit Dream to see Stability AI’s DreamStudio create art. The tool also uses a credit system and sliding scale of image complexity that ramps up the credits as you increase the parameters. Users start with a small bank of credits to play with the tool and learn how it works. Additional credits can be added to your account as you go.
The right-hand menu contains image generation settings where users can control the height, width and reference points to create your image. Adjusting these settings can improve quality and allow users to fine tune their images. The default settings generate what I would call rough draft images and once you find a composition you like, you can lock the composition (AKA the seed) and adjust the various slider settings to add complexity and interest to your image.
From the Community
The debate about whether AI art will replace or impede artist’s is ongoing and expanding. This user is convinced that artists have a little bit to worry about: “The output from Stable Diffusion is... insane! It's SO good. This will be both a golden age for AI-generated art and an uncertain one for the human artists that previously had a monopoly over these forms.”
TLDR
Midjourney is the AI art generating bot that lives on Discord.
The Details
Instead of typing prompts into a search bar on a website, users can message prompts to a Discord bot to create stunning works of art with AI. Midjourney bills themselves as “an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species.”
Compared to DALL.E and Stable Diffusion, users tend to agree that Midjourney excels in producing intricate environments and fantasy-like forms. The more art created across these models the better they become, but a key differentiator of Midjourney is you can do it all right on Discord. Perhaps they want users to stop sending GIFs and send AI generated art instead.
From the Community
Midjourney is a masterclass on meeting customers where they are. “Spent endless of hours in Discord thanks to MJ,” wrote one early adopter?
TLDR
Prompthero lets you browse or search the best prompts from popular AI text-to-image generators and study what makes a great prompt.
The Details
The more advanced your prompt, the more interesting your AI-generated image, but there’s a learning curve (and an art) to developing great prompts. Prompthero helps you learn how to craft a great prompt and offers a visually stunning browsing experience in the process.
The homepage features a search bar at the top and a Pinterest-style infinite scroll of AI-generated images. Hover over an image to see the prompt, the AI art generative model it was made with, and the views and likes on the image. You can refine your search by the model used or browse collections by category. Users are encouraged to take an active role in the community by creating an account and following popular artists on the platform. Prompthero also offers Prompthero Academy for users who want an in-depth course of how to talk to AI art generative models.
From the Community
Some users are also using the tool to find and use images without generating new art at all! “Brilliant stuff, helps you find what you're looking for far more easily without having to worry too much about the prompts!”
TLDR
Text-to-Image by Photoleap is an iOS app (Android support coming soon) that combines AI generative art with advanced image editing capabilities.
The Details
What happens when you combine an AI-generated image with editing tools such as filters, effects, cut-outs and more? AI becomes your sous chef and you are the chef making the final decisions. Text-to-Image by Photoleap marries the artist and technology smoothly. Photoleap has been around for several years and has a large community to market to, which may give them an edge on the competition.
From the Community
Product stickiness is always a good thing and Photoleap’s ‘Generate again’ button is getting some love, “I am seriously addicted by the "Generate again" button. There are too many possibilities! It's endless!”
TLDR
Claid AI enables users to edit images with AI and create AI-generated product images for websites, social media, or marketing campaigns in seconds.
The Details
Claid AI launched its image editing product three months ago so users can enhance their images with the help of AI. Lighting, smart framing, focus, and image quality can all be improved with Claid AI. This means brands can spend less time in post-production and use AI to achieve brand cohesion with user-generated content.
The latest yet-to-be-released innovation from Claid AI is a tool for marketers that doubles down on the AI generative model for product content creation. Soon users will be able to create brand new AI-generated images to be used across marketing channels. Users will be able to take a photo of one product and place it in multiple settings and environments to create unique looks. The tool is available by request and Product Hunt users can follow Claid AI and get notified when the new tool is released.
From the Community
Quality user-generated content is the holy grail in product marketing. The solutions have been few and far between to address this problem and it’s nice to see Claid offer a solution. Users are excited to leverage this for e-commerce: “This is great! User-generated images are such an important addition to e-commerce, but the quality is usually so low. Love this approach!”
TLDR
Avatar AI trains its AI with your selfies to create more than 100 unique avatars of you.
The Details
A great introduction to AI art generators is to play with your own images. Avatar AI invites users to upload 20 images of themselves to rapidly train its AI and recreate your likeness in a variety of styles. The tool is powered by Stable Diffusion’s generative art model and while some argue the price point is high, it takes the hard work out of developing prompts. The high learning curve in AI art is flattened with Avatar AI and users quickly get high quality images with minimal effort.
From the Community
The thrill of updating your profile pic isn’t lost on this user, “Really cool product, looking forward to seeing these avatars replace NFT profile pictures on Twitter 🙏”
TLDR
AI Canvas is a collaborative AI art generator that continually expands on images to make them grow.
The Details
Kive positions AI Canvas as “Figma meets Midjourney and DALL.E.'' Buzzwords aside, the collaborative capabilities in AI Canvas are a noteworthy advancement in the generative art space.
Start with a simple prompt and then generate additional elements to the image with the same or new text prompts. If you get stuck or you’re working on a concept with a team, AI Canvas lets users invite collaborators to your canvas and work in tandem. You can also join shared rooms and build on art made by the community. Most tools involve a human generating prompts and an AI responding to the prompts. AI Canvas layers in a fun social component that melds minds and imaginations.
From the Community
I really appreciate the collaborative and social spin on generating art with others. What’s a few extra brains in a game of AI and humans? This user shares the sentiment: “This is one of the most transformational collaborative generative AI art tools I've seen yet. I'm totally gobsmacked!”
The future of AI art generators
The tech and art relationship is always evolving and AI is only ratcheting up the intensity. This list merely scratches the surface of AI art generators, as new tools are created almost daily and the applications of those tools are quickly adapting to meet both business and personal needs.
If you’re starting from scratch with AI art, I would definitely explore Prompthero first. I made a lot of ugly images (and wasted my credits!) before learning what makes a good prompt.
