Free AI image generators: what they can and cannot do
MIXEDMixed: useful for some people, depends on how you use it.
AIAI image tools can create posters, thumbnails and illustrations from a text description in seconds. They are fun and useful, with real limits.
Good uses
- Blog and social media illustrations
- Quick mockups and mood boards
- Backgrounds and patterns
Watch out for
- Text inside images is often misspelled
- Hands, logos and faces can come out strange
- Images of real people or brands can create legal and ethical problems
- Free plans may limit commercial use, so read the terms
Describe the scene, the style and the lighting in your prompt. "Flat illustration of a laptop on a desk, warm morning light, blue and orange colours" works far better than "laptop picture".
