7 AI Image Tools to Create Compelling Marketing for your Tech Startup
fast on Midjourney’s heels...
Midjourney made waves in 2022 as the AI image generator capable of transforming basic text-based prompts into photorealistic images.
It gained traction when an image of the Pope wearing a Balenciaga jacket went viral, fooling millions into believing it was real.
However, here are several other AI image generators fast on Midjourney’s heels, many for free:
Leonardo AI
Leonardo AI stands out with its professional interface and multiple models catering to various applications. It offers the most granular customization options among the tools mentioned here.
Users can set resolutions as high as 2688x2688 pixels, choose the number of outputs, and even adjust the depth of field.
The optional Alchemy V2 model delivers great results with intricate details, including reflections, shadows, and subtle textures.
If you are looking for free tools, LeonardoAI's limitation is that it offers just 7 free prompts daily, but this should be enough for trying it out.
Adobe Firefly
Adobe’s model generates more detailed human subjects compared to DALL-E 2, with inanimate objects and humans delivering equally high-quality results.
There is room for improvement in prompt recognition, but one interesting aspect is that Firefly appears to identify users' locations, generating regionally appropriate humans by default to mitigate regional biases.
DALL-E 2
Developed by OpenAI, DALL-E 2 is renowned for efficiently generating images from text and ranks among the most popular tools.
While prompt recognition accuracy may have issues, the tool allows for modification of existing images by adding or changing text prompts.
Bing Image Creator
Powered by DALL-E 3, Microsoft's Bing Image Creator offers free image generation with an impressive daily limit of 90 images.
It stands out for its greater accuracy in recognizing prompts compared to other tools.
The model includes safeguards to avoid generating objectionable images with deliberate distortions.
Stable Diffusion
Stable Diffusion, developed by Stability AI, employs advanced deep learning for swift image generation from text or image inputs.
While the full version requires downloading the code from GitHub, a more limited version is accessible via the DreamStudio website.
Picsart
Although primarily known as a mobile photo editing app, Picsart now includes an AI image generator accessible with a free account.
Users can select from various styles such as Portrait, Nature, and Steampunk, with options for different aspect ratios.
