by However, not all AI generators are created equal. Some charge a fortune, and others aren’t worth the trouble. Take Midjourney, for example—considered one of the best, but only if you're willing to empty your wallet. That’s why I’ve put together a list of free AI generators that you can use without spending a dime. They may have limited quotas, but they get the job done.
Here are my top 4 picks for free AI image generators.
**4. Gemini by Google**
Gemini is Google’s response to ChatGPT. It’s a fantastic tool for creating beautiful images, and initially, it was one of my favorites. But then Google banned it from making images of humans because people were... well, people. Some users started making ridiculous edits like changing celebrity ethnicities, and now we all suffer for it.
So, for the time being, Gemini is only good for creating objects, animals, and anthropomorphic creatures. Still, it’s great at what it does—just don’t expect to generate a realistic human portrait anytime soon. That’s why Gemini ranks lower, but hey, at least your AI cat will look flawless.
**3. Cutout Pro**
Cutout Pro was my first AI love. It offers a range of styles from realistic to comic, anime, and CGI. However, it has a bit of a hand problem. Like most AI image generators, Cutout Pro struggles with hands—expect to see extra fingers or strange poses unless you’re really specific with your prompts.
That said, I’ve used it for many of my articles, and no one’s ever called me out on it. As long as you’re not scamming people with your AI-generated art, Cutout Pro will serve you well. And hey, if anyone notices, just tell them it’s “abstract.”
**2. Anime Genius**
For anime lovers, this one’s a no-brainer. Anime Genius lets you create anime-style characters from either text prompts or existing images. It's great for character design or blogs with a creative edge.
The downside? It doesn’t do well with distant shots—characters start to look like they’ve melted. It’s also pretty bad at generating darker skin tones, so if you’re looking for diversity, you’ll need to do some post-editing. Oh, and don’t be surprised if your characters come decked out in random jewelry. Apparently, bling is a default setting. It took me 15 attempts before I made this look decent
**1. Prome AI**
Topping the list is Prome AI, the sister tool of Cutout Pro. It’s limited to 20 images per month, so you’ll need to use those wisely. Stick to one image per prompt, and you should be good.
What makes Prome AI special? It can draw hands! Yes, five fingers, not some extra mutant appendage. The “negative” option lets you remove unwanted things like tattoos or accessories, and there’s even a feature to delete extra limbs if things get weird.
Sure, the 20-image limit is a pain, but with multiple email addresses, the sky’s the limit.
