AI-generated images

The future is here

Have you heard of AI-generated images? If yes, then you probably already love the idea of as much as we do. Just imagine writing a few words and having the image of what you need in less than a minute - it’s almost like writing a magic spell and seeing your words take visual form instantly!

Check out the results of AI-generated images in the different tools. We tried the same phrase “A Rococo painting of a robot selling flowers in New York”.

Here are some of the best resources for AI-generated images and how to apply them in practice.

  1. DALL-E 2 is probably the most known tool for generating AI images. First of all, it allows to generate up to 50 images a month, which is enough for common use. The images are very realistic and you can specify the style you want for the result (digital art, watercolor, minimalism, etc). DALL·E 2 can also make realistic edits to existing images. You can add and remove elements while taking shadows, reflections, and textures into account. Apply for demo here: https://labs.openai.com/waitlist

  2. MidJourney allows to make images almost as well as Dall-E2, but it’s easier to use for businesses without having to deal with API. The art turns out very detailed even for simple requests. 25 images are free, then there are various subscription options. Try in here: https://www.midjourney.com/app/

  3. Stable Diffusion is a state of the art text-to-image model that generates images from text with a really high level quality is out in beta testing! You now can officially download the model and run on your servers. The images it generates are as good as DALL-E 2, but you can use it without having to use paid API, which is revolutionary in the area!

  4. AI Background Generator from PhotoRoom generates backgrounds based on your request. It can’t create complex images with a lot of object or people, but for backgrounds – it’s actually pretty good! After you pick the right image – you go directly to the editor where you can apply image sizes for social media, add text or an image on the background. Try here: https://www.photoroom.com/backgrounds/

AI art generators can significantly help designers by allowing to find inspirations faster and use creative ideas in their future work. But the tools can also be super useful for e-commerce, social media, or other businesses as well. Have you tried it already?
