AI art generators seems to be everywhere right now.

Awesome, right ?

Then, in this post, I'm going to share with you more than 20 picks when it comes to AI art generators.

I'll also add a bonus for you right at the end, so bear with me and ...

... Let's dive in.

How Can AI Art Generator Make Your Life Better in 2023 ?

 

As I said earlier, AI art generators are here to stay and their impact on our lives is probably beyond anything we can imagine right now.

Anyway, here are a few ways you can make the most out of the AI art generators I'm about to share with you :

  • stock and product photography;
  • creation of illustration for independent games (card / tabletop / video games), comics, books covers and album art.
  • animations and videos (a bit like an automated version of Canva or Adobe Illustrator)
  • high definition art from low resolution images (pixel art characters or blurred images) or low quality images (such as children's drawings)
  • art from guiding input such as photos;
  • inpainting i.e. adding or removing contents in images;
  • outpainting - that is expanding an existing image beyond its borders while keeping the same style.

Canva


The well-known design tool is now offering a free AI art generator.

It's free, as you might expect, and comes with many styles including Photo, Drawing, Painting, 3D, Pattern and Concept Art.

You give the AI some text describing what you're looking for, pick your preferred style and you get an image you can enhance using the built-in photo editor.

Later on, you can combine your generated image with other Canva's media library images to get a unique design.

It is available at the official website and also comes as an android mobile app on Google Play Store. 
 
For personal use like printing on a T-shirt, you can use it free of charge but you need to take a look at the terms of use for details about commercial licenses.
