This One\u2019s My Pick"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p id=\"2a3c\">In the dawn of the online AI era, there were tons of free image generator options to create AI-generated images for free. Now, most of us have run out of our free 25 Midjourney credits. It\u2019s harder to find places to make free AI art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"dde0\">Luckily, I have trawled through many (many!) websites and landed on these seven sites that will let you make just about any AI image. Every AI image generator on this list is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free (at least you get a certain number of credits to use for free)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Web-based<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"0940\">I\u2019ll use the same prompt (\u201ccat in a cozy treehouse cafe, reading a book. cinematic style\u201d) for each generative AI tool, so you\u2019ll be able to easily compare each art generator for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c8fa\">The Best Free Online AI Image Generators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"422f\">Canva: The best art<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"764\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_zmtI2E17Kod5DAzo.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_zmtI2E17Kod5DAzo.webp 764w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_zmtI2E17Kod5DAzo-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_zmtI2E17Kod5DAzo-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_zmtI2E17Kod5DAzo-75x75.webp 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Look at this cute lil man!

Then use the image generator to make whatever you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cfeb\">Pros:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b58e\">There are no watermarks or costs for downloading it. It also offers a few suggested image styles. You can easily change the image aspect ratio, though you only get three styles: portrait, landscape, or square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"acc2\">Cons:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"67a6\">Only three image aspect ratio choices. Also, there\u2019s a cap \u2014 as a free user, you\u2019ll only ever get 50 lifetime credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2d51\">Overall:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"374f\">Great for simple AI art creation. Not a lot of fine-tuning options, though. Also, expensive once you run out of your free generations. Canva Pro costs $14.99 per month to get 500 monthly text-to-image credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ghost-block-cta ghost-cta-block\"><h3>Join the UX Magazine Community!<\/h3><p>Dive into exclusive articles, podcast episodes, whitepapers, and more on the cutting-edge of AI and automation.

If you scroll down a little, you\u2019ll see: \u201cDon\u2019t expect the quality to be photorealistic, however. You would need a really really big AI to do that, and have you priced those lately?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"4bbd\">You can upgrade to the HD model, or get other styles if you\u2019re ready to pay for it. It\u2019s only $5 per 100 API calls, or around 2 cents per image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"760d\">Overall:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"4e10\">It\u2019s free \u2014 and the quality reflects that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9808\">Freepik: Best all-around<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq-75x75.webp 75w, https:\/\/uxmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/0_Ydc1Z5JWtJvMHZbq.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>I would pay a very high price for this image to become reality.
