Examples

Start from a prompt that works

Every image here was made on BudgetPixel with the prompt shown. Pick one and it opens in the workshop with the prompt and model ready — change a word and make it yours.

Models

The right model for every image

No single model is best at everything. One account runs all of them, so you can put the same prompt through two or three and keep the one you like.

Beyond text to image

Bring a photo. Describe the change.

Add an image and the same workshop becomes an editor: change what is in it, blend several references into one frame, or put a product somewhere new.

  • A photo of a scooter rider, edited to add a dog while the road and sea stay unchanged
    Before

    Edit any photo

    Describe the change — add, remove or replace — and the rest of the picture stays as it was.

  • A perfume bottle from a reference image composited into a portrait
    Before

    Combine references

    Bring up to nine images — a product, a person, a place — and describe how they meet in one frame.

  • The same ship moved from the open ocean to a desert

    Restage a product

    Keep the object, change the world around it: the same product in any scene, light or season.

    Text that reads

    Logos, posters and packaging with legible type — pick a model that renders text well.

Questions

Questions about the AI image generator

Short answers. Every model page lists its own price, limits and terms.

Is this AI image generator free?

New accounts get free credits to start generating immediately, and a daily allowance of free generations on selected models. No card is needed to try it. A free account gets 300 credits every month — about 5 images with Seedream 5.0 Pro. Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2.5, Midjourney V7 and Muse Image 1.0 need a paid plan, from $10 a month.

What is the best AI image generator?

There isn't one answer — models differ by job. Flux 2 and Muse Image are strongest for readable text inside an image, Recraft for brand and design assets, Midjourney for photoreal polish. Because one subscription covers all of them here, the practical approach is to run the same prompt through two or three and compare.

How much does an AI image cost?

From $0.01 an image at the credit-pack rate. The models featured on this page run $0.012–$0.12 an image. Resolution changes the price, and every model shows its cost before you generate. Plans add up to 10% more credits per dollar.

Can I edit an existing photo with AI?

Yes. Upload an image and use an editing-capable model to restyle it, replace a background, or blend several reference images. The model picker marks which models accept image input.

Do I keep the rights to what I generate?

Output rights depend on the provider's terms for the model you used, and they differ between models. Each model's page links to what its provider allows.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser on desktop and phone, and every image lands in your asset library.

Your first image is one prompt away.

300 free credits every month. No card needed.

AI Image Generator

Generate and edit images with every leading AI model in one workshop — text-to-image, image editing, multi-reference composition and upscaling.

Type a prompt and pick a model. The same workshop runs GPT Image 2.5, Seedream, Nano Banana, Flux, Midjourney, Qwen Image, Recraft, Muse Image and the rest, so you can put one prompt through several models and keep the result you like rather than committing to whichever tool you happened to sign up for.

Bring an image and it becomes an editor: restyle a photo, change a background, combine several references into one frame, or upscale a finished piece. Everything runs on the same credits, and results land in your asset library where the rest of the studio can pick them up.
