AI is changing the way we do things, and this applies to art as well.

As we progress with time, technological advancement keeps going higher, and as a result, our tasks become much more convenient and easier.

One byproduct of AI are art generators. Though it can also have its own downsides, in the bigger picture, it does more good than bad for ordinary people.

Dall-E software by OpenAI is an excellent example of that. It’s a revolutionary tool and helps you generate amazing-looking art within seconds. The only problem is that their new version, Dall-E 2, has a long waitlist to access the software.

Alternatively, you can use the software I will mention in this list. Before we get into it, let’s learn more about art generators.

What are Art Generators? 🖼️

Who would have thought typing some descriptive words could instantly create the kind of art you’re looking for and in high quality? That’s exactly what art generators are.

It is software that can come up with digital designs using simple text prompts, and it’s super useful for anybody looking to get art generated without putting much effort.

For example, someone who couldn’t create art for their project can use these art generators and create stunning art pieces in quick time by just typing a few words.

As mentioned above, Dall-E 2 is a phenomenal art generator and Google’s Imagen AI Tool

<img alt="" data- data-src="https://kirelos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/echo/imagen.png" data- height="448" src="data:image/svg xml,” width=”1347″>

In the above example, you can see Imagen has been able to deliver the exact art that was described via the text prompts. It’s that easy and simple.

Now, since Dall-E 2 and Imagen aren’t fully available to the public as of now, take a look at this list of alternatives.

Starryai

<img alt="" data- data-src="https://kirelos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/echo/starryai.png" data- height="298" src="data:image/svg xml,” width=”848″>

With a seamless interface and functionality, Starryai gives you full ownership of the art you generate with it. Upon typing a few simple descriptive texts, you’ll be given a bunch of digital art immediately created using their AI technology.

In fact, this software doesn’t even require you to provide a detailed description of your requirement. It has machine learning that’ll process images and suggest additional filters to best suit your wants.

You can use the art for NFTs, printing purposes, or for something as little as sharing on social media. Free users can generate up to 5 artworks daily without watermarks.

WOMBO

<img alt="" data- data-src="https://kirelos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/echo/wombo.png" data- height="290" src="data:image/svg xml,” width=”913″>

All it takes is a few seconds for WOMBO to generate digital art for you to print or use for NFT. You can start creating instantly by typing keyword(s), selecting the style, and optionally uploading a reference image.

Once it’s generated, you can purchase a high-quality print version if you wish. There are a lot of styles you can choose from, such as:

  • Realistic
  • Vibrant
  • Psychic
  • Fantasy Art
  • Mystical

There’s also an option to remix it with your existing NFTs to create something very cool. These features combined make WOMBO a great tool to utilize to generate art for any purpose.

Midjourney

A favorite for many people, Midjourney is almost scary because of how good it can be. It can generate absolutely mind-blowing results that’d almost want you to meet the creator and thank them personally for what they created. 😃

For example, look at this realistic and detailed art piece generated by Jim Clyde Monge.

<img alt="" data- data-src="https://kirelos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/echo/midjourney.png" data- height="374" src="data:image/svg xml,” width=”700″>

For how good the software is, you’d be disappointed to know that it is currently in closed beta and can only be accessed with private invites. However, the good news is that you can apply for the beta program and wait for them to get back to you with the access invite. You might have to wait a while, but it’ll be worth it.

Latent Diffusion LAION-400M

Latent Diffusion LAION-400M by Hugging Face is a pretty straightforward art generator. No fancy design. You get just the tool to operate, which allows several customizations and gets the job done.

After typing in your text prompt, you can:

  • Adjust width
  • Adjust height
  • Select the number of images to generate
  • Slide the diversity scale to how different you want each image to look

After finalizing these customizations, you can hit submit to get the results generated as per your selections.

Laionide V3

Another simple and to-the-point tool, Laionide V3, is the latest software release with improved performance and overall functionality. Most results are generated in under 2 minutes, which is quite decent for a tool that produces great results.

It lets you set a whole lot of customizations apart from the prompt, such as batch size, upsample temperature, and the number of variations. You can use this software as it is on their homepage, run it with API and even run it on your computer.

Out of all the good things this software has, you can be assured of regular updates to fix what’s needed with time.

NightCafe

<img alt="" data- data-src="https://kirelos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/echo/nightcafe.png" data- height="493" src="data:image/svg xml,” width=”1038″>

With various artistic styles to choose from, such as cosmic, matte, and cyberpunk, NightCafe has got what it takes to offer diversity in terms of what you wish to generate.

Its name is engraved with the big names in the art generators’ category, and the position is truly justified. It has numerous algorithms and options and is known to be quite powerful yet easy to use for novice users.

The software is based on a credit system. A free account will give you 5 credits, but you can earn free credits by actively participating in the community and doing other recommended steps. You’re also allowed to purchase credits whenever you wish to.

Dall-E Flow

<img alt="" data- data-src="https://kirelos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/echo/dalle-flow.png" data- height="423" src="data:image/svg xml,” width=”762″>

Built with the help of Jina, Dall-E Flow is the Human-in-the-loop (HITL) version of their art generator software. A tool that uses human interaction as well as machine learning for the results.

It can instantly generate HD images from the text you put into it and allows various customizations as per your liking. And since it’s a product of OpenAI, it’s bound to be good.

Conclusion

There’s no denying that software like Dall-E and Imagen are very high-profile and packed with tons of great features, but the above alternatives get the job done and are just as good.
