Not all AI image generators are made equal. Here’s an overview:

1. Adobe Firefly. The free browser version is simple to use and safe for commercial purposes because it’s trained on Adobe stock photos and public domain content. In tests, it exhibits a high level of realism for human faces and hands. Plans start at $5.74.
2. Midjourney. This Discord-based tool takes a little bit of experimentation to get comfortable, but it allows you to see what other users are generating with prompts. It yields consistent, high-quality results. Plans start at $8.
3. DALL-E 3. This one is baked into ChatGPT4’s Plus Plan. The bot will generate a single image based on your prompt, which you can augment with further direction. Creative skews a little more artistic than photographic, especially when it comes to humans. Plans start at $20.
4. JumpStory. It’s trained on its own library and data, and it offers global insurance against legal trouble. It’s easy to use and entirely browser-based. It yields good results, but it’s not exactly photorealistic. Plans start at $23.
5. Canva. Free with an account, Canva’s AI generator is a powerful adjunct to the platform, but it’s a little behind in realism. Still, you get 50 credits for free, so it’s worth trying.
6. Meta AI. The image generator is free and available across Meta apps, but your assets will come with the Meta AI logo and a watermark that reads “imagined with AI.” Its animation capabilities are more impressive than its photorealism.
7. DreamStudio. This one lets you choose from 16 art styles and designate how many images will be generated. Add exclusions in the “negative prompt” box. Then, play with variations. Not consistent in quality, but the level of input is nice. Plans start at $10.
