The artificial intelligence It is advancing at a dizzying pace, offering innovative solutions, many of which we have already adopted as a daily thing. And one of the technologies that seems predestined to become a tool more than present in our day to day are the Image generating AI. Systems capable of creating realistic images or illustrations from descriptions written by their users.
The prominence that these models are gaining has been increasing and, far from stopping, continues to increase. Likewise, its complexity and its ability to understand and execute have also evolvedgoing from some simple initial prototypes to models with more than precise results.
These artificial intelligences are able to achieve a deep understanding of written language, generating images that fit the indicated description. A revolution that democratizes the creation of images and illustrations, bringing design closer to everyone, regardless of their artistic abilities.
What are the best AI image generators
If you still do not know these tools or if you have only heard of a few, we bring you a list of the most popular image-generating AI currently arranged in alphabetical order:
It so happens that it is the , back in April of this year. So starting our list by talking about Dalle-2 is a very satisfying kind of poetic justice.
As its name suggests, it is the second version of the system developed by the artificial intelligence research and development company OpenAI, the first being Dalle-1. This first model was launched in early 2021, while an improved Dalle-2 was presented to the public in January 2022.
Dale-2 functions as a “neuronal system” able to analyze a text in depth. These neurons can relate the subject (for example “teddy bears”), the action (“mixing sparkling chemicals as mad scientist”) and the artistic style (“as digital art”). In addition, the system does not generate a single proposal, but is capable of offering multiple options.
Likewise, the changes that this model integrated with respect to Dalle-1, were improvements in quality and resolution of the images, in comprehension of the texts and two new features: editing and versioning.
- Edition: offers the possibility of including new objects or elements in the composition or substituting others. In addition, the program takes into account lights, shadows, textures and reflections, providing a rich editing experience.
- versioning: allows you to create new designs that reinterpret existing ones, being able to vary aspects such as angles and perspectives, among others.
Up to nothing if you wanted access this toolyou had to fill out a form on the website of OpenAI, after which you went to enter a waiting list. However, this is no longer necessary now. What are you waiting for to start creating?
The second tool on our list is the created by Stability AIa community made up of more than 20,000 developers. Dreamstudio is based on the open source imaging model named as Stable Diffusion.
What differentiates Dreamstudio from other image-generating AIs are two main points. The first is that everyone can access it starting with a first free trial. Once the free images are exhausted, a minimum top-up of 10 pounds must be paid to continue using it. Likewise, the images are generated under a license that allows their commercial and non-commercial use. The second is that this it is not a closed modelalso from Stability IA encourage users to make public reviews and make improvements that drive and empower the tool.
Likewise, Dreamstudio offers a wide range of parameters that you can modify to adjust the result to your liking:
- Select the width and height of the image.
- cfg scale: The higher the value you indicate, the greater the degree of similarity between your description and the final image.
- number of steps that will be dedicated to creation.
- Number of images generated.
However, depending on the settings you set, this will consume more or less image credits. So you should be careful not to exhaust the limit of free images.
It has already been anticipated that, soon, new tools will be released to power Dreamstudio. With them, along with the improvements made by Internet users who access the open source, it is intended that the tool continue to learn and reduce possible adverse outcomes derived from the bad meanings, stigmas or negative connotations linked to language and how we use it.
Formerly known as Dalle-mini, Craiyon is a open source generator of OpenAI that was created by Boris Dayma and Pedro Cuenca.
This tool is free but slower that Dreamstudio. However, Craiyon automatically offers you several results (9 specifically), it is not necessary to specifically establish that you want more than one result. Likewise, works best when entering simple sentencessince its system is not as sophisticated as others and does not yet have an immense capacity for understanding.
Nevertheless, understands different languages, although the one that works best is English. Therefore, although you can understand certain words or phrases in Spanish, if you are looking for better results, we recommend that you enter your description in English.
Currently, Crayon is increasing the number of servers in order to offer a better and faster service. On the other hand, due to the high cost of having the computers and systems active for it to work, as well as its maintenance, it is financed by including advertisements on the tool’s website.
hot pot brings together various AI solutions and assistants and software for graphic design, editing and writing. Its premise is to help people create compositions, designs and images through attractive and simple tools and templates that facilitate editing and creation. But, of all the tools it offers, the one that interests us for this ranking is AI Art Maker.
This image-generating AI works in a similar way to the previous ones. The main thing is to enter a descriptive text that the program will process to convert it into an image. In addition to this, you can adjust criteria like the pictorial style, the size of the image, if you want different results, etc.
Just like Crayon, it takes more time than other options on the list when creating the images and its results are also somewhat simpler. The average waiting time is 20 seconds to 2 minutes, but the page itself warns that, in case of heavy web traffic, free creations can take 2-3 hours to create.
If you want its loading speed to increase, you can buy credits, which will also allow you to make commercial use of the images you generate. Purchase options offer one-time, monthly, or yearly payment plans.
night cafe was created by Angus Russell in November 2019 in Sydney, and over the years it has been refined until it has become more than 5 million users. Its name derives from Vincent Van Gogh’s work “The Cafe at Night”.
In addition to generating images according to a descriptive text, this tool offers the option to print them as an additional service, so that you can show off the work that Nightcafe and you have created.
The platform offers 5 free credits, with each image you generate you will spend a credit. Once you have your design, you can share it so that other users can enjoy it and get inspired.
Midjourney is a small independent research laboratory that seeks to open new paths and expand human creativity. It currently has 11 members and a set of advisers.
In order to make use of its image-generating AI, you can try a demo or start the full experience. In both cases you will need to sign in with a Discord account, and you can access through Midjourney Bot or the web platform. Once you start enjoying the tool, you will have a free image limit (approximately 25). When you pass that limit you will have to choose one of the ones that offer to be able to continue using Midjourney.
Every time you enter a text 4 image options will be generated, which usually takes a minute, a more than reasonable average time. After this, two rows of buttons will appear, which you can use to enlarge the images and to edit them to your liking.
