I’m looking for an AI image generator I can use to create simple images for my articles, mostly as featured images. Since I don’t have a budget for this right now, I’m hoping to stick with free options.

I’ve seen people mention platforms like Vondy, Canva, or Fotor that bring different AI tools to the table, but I’m curious if anyone here has tried them specifically for this kind of use case.

What free tools have worked best for you when it comes to quick, decent quality images?

I want to use an AI image generator to create images for my articles, but know which one is a good option.

I mostly want to great simple images that will be used as as the featured image.

I don't have any money to invest so I just want to use free versions for now.

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.

Before I used Bing regularly in February with Copilot, but recently I have found that it has become much slower and it no longer generates as many images as I wanted (always a problem that it cannot generate anything)

So if you have apps (good ones eh) it would just be so nice (with good quality, similar to bing actually..)

Found similar threads in the past but the apps mentioned are not free anymore and I wanted a refresher of the list.

Just looking to have fun - no need for maximum quality. Keen to use other pictures as base (i.e. faces of my friends/other famous people), so image to image generation and not just text prompts. Also keen to know what are the cheapest options available if free options don't provide the minimum service I "need".

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

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?

Looking for any good apps for AI image generation. Very new to this field lol but I found Grok so far to be decent.

I’m planning a cute birthday gift for my wife — she’s a total travel buff!
I want to create images of her traveling around the world (kind of as a fun manifestation gift).

I’m looking for the best AI image generator that can make high-quality, realistic photos without distorting her face. I know Midjourney is great — and since I want to make around 30 images, I’d also love some suggestions for free or affordable alternatives that can still deliver good results.

Any recommendations or tips would be amazing!

What are the best free apps for generating images? I sometimes want to generate a custom image for my video because the default ones are too generic and doesn't fit the song. What do you guys use?

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.
