AI text-based image generator
Developed by Boris Dayma and Pedro Cuenca, Craiyon is a free AI image generator that uses artificial intelligence to produce images based on the user’s text input. Available as a web-based tool for the Google Chrome browser and as an Android app on the Google Play Store, Craiyon is similar to many other free AI tools like ChatGPT.
Formerly Dall-e Mini, this text-to-image generator was initially developed for a coding competition and inspired by OpenAI technology. Its creator, Boris Dayma, trained it to discern elements within images, interpret text input, and connect language to visual suggestions so that it can yield recognizable images from only a handful of words as well as more complex descriptions.
How does the image generator work?
The Craiyon image drawing tool features a text input box. Users can enter text in any language (preferably short and in English) and then hit Enter on their keyboard or press the orange Draw button to produce random images. A timer on the top right corner of the screen shows the time elapsed. Within minutes, it produces 9 images.
What can users do with the AI tool?
Aside from producing amusing but often unrealistic images with the free app, users can also share and print the content online, preferably crediting craiyon.com for the images. They can also see what the images would look like on a T-shirt and print them accordingly. Commercial users are subject to attribution, royalties, and other terms.
A must-try web & mobile tool
As the free Craiyon AI tool gains popularity, users are likely to find new ways to engage with it and help it improve its output, especially in terms of facial features. Though it leaves much to be desired in terms of anatomy and photorealism, Craiyon’s limitations are outweighed by its ability to create recognizable content that users can easily fine-tune.
