Really depends on the type of image you are looking for. For icons, I am liking Envato's. For other generic stock-images, Google Gemini's Nano Banana is top notch atm imo. Answer from pasak1987 on reddit.com

r/instructionaldesign on Reddit: Recommendations for AI image generation?
September 13, 2025 -

What do people recommend? I have used Midjourney and debating on asking my company if they'd be willing to pay a monthly subscription so I can more easily populate courses with imagery. Are there better options?

Midjourney is my favorite AI image tool, and the one I usually start with. For photorealistic images that look more realistic and interesting than stock images (or ChatGPT), Midjourney is a solid choice. Midjourney is capable of a wide range of illustration styles, and it's easy to create multiple images that have consistent styles and colors. The editing options are good too. Midjourney is terrible at text though. While I've had lots of success with Midjourney for creating multiple images of a single character, there's no good way to create scenes with multiple characters that stay consistent. For that, I create the images in Midjourney first and then go elsewhere for assembling the scenes. I've had good luck with Runway for assembling scenes with multiple references images. ChatGPT can sometimes work; Gemini (Nano Banana) might work too. Flux is a great tool too. It's as good at Midjourney for photorealistic images and better at text. I don't think it's as good at illustrations as Midjourney though, and I can't get the consistency in characters and style with Flux. Recraft is good for vector images, and you can set specific colors to match your branding. Ideogram is good for text accuracy. They have a new consistent character tool that I haven't tried but looks promising. Personally, I'm only paying for Midjourney as a consistent subscription. It's the most versatile. That's the one that mostly replaces stock images and cutout character libraries that I used to pay for. But, I switch to those other tools sometimes if I need something specific. You might want to look at a tool that gives you access to multiple tools like Galaxy AI or Wavespeed. If your company will only pay for one, you might want to see if one of the collective tools would be better to give you some flexibility.

I like the new ChatGPT generator but it takes too long to generate images for my purpose. I need something faster but also has the same quality. Google Gemini's Imagen seems to produce only low resolution images... I'm very uneducated in this area and really need advice. Can someone recommend me an engine? For context, I have to generate a lot of images for the B-roll of Instagram reels and TIktoks I record.

2 years back I used midjourney and it worked really well. I haven’t been using image generation for a while so wonder what are the good options out there. I’m helping our team to promote our products so want to leverage AI for creating marketing images. Would appreciate recommendations - if the AI is specialised for marketing images that would be even better.

I’ve been trying out a few AI image tools lately, but I’m still looking for something that gives really sharp, consistent results without needing super-complicated prompts. I’ve used Midjourney and imini AI so far, Midjourney is great for style and creativity, while imini is a bit more straightforward when I just want a clean, fast image from a prompt.

Curious what everyone else is using these days. Are there any image generators or newer models that have been giving you noticeably better results?

r/automation on Reddit: I tried 20+ AI image generator tools to find 7 cheapest ones
October 17, 2025 -

I went down the rabbit hole this week testing “free or cheap” AI image generator I could find. Some were great, some were mid-render, and a few asked my credit card before showing a single image so they didnt made it to my final list.
here’s my short list of the 7 cheapest or underrated tools that were pretty good:

Ideogram
Free daily generations (around 10 per day). Great for logos, posters, or concept art. The quality surprised me, though text rendering is still hit or miss.

Pixray
Old-school interface but powerful. You can tweak tons of settings, which makes it great if you like experimenting with prompts and fine-tuning styles.

MuleRun
Not exactly an image generator, more like a hub that gives you access to several different AI image editors and generators. I got 1,000 free credits when I signed up, which easily covered my test run. Worth checking out if you like creating cute pictures of your pets.

Wombo Dream
Fast and straightforward. Ideal if you just want to visualize a quick idea or moodboard without fiddling around with sliders.

Pebblely
More of a product photo tool. Perfect if you’re running a small store and want lifestyle images for your products. You get around 40 free renders before hitting the limit.

DeepAI
Doesn’t even need a login. Just open the site, type your prompt, and you’re good to go. Basic quality but instant.

Craiyon (DALL-E Mini)
Still one of the few that’s truly free and unlimited. Results look rough, but great for brainstorming or quick concept sketches.

I mostly used leonardo ai for image creation and have been very satisfied with the images. But lately, I don't et what I want out of leonardo. It doesn't even create half orcs for me. No matter if I use phoenix, flux or albedo as the model. So I'm going to suspend my membership with leonardo. But what do i use instead?

So what is your favorite moddl/ai to use? Heard theimage generation of chat gpt got real good. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks and best regards!
