AI image generators are among the most exciting AI innovations, so much creative potential! Where we once needed a photographer or designer, our imagination now runs wild, thanks to these tools. With many companies offering generous free plans, you can create to your heart’s content.
The most famous and pioneering AI image generator, MidJourney, continues to lead the industry. Designers remain captivated by its capabilities. But exciting new approaches are emerging: Adobe’s Firefly proves they’re ready to embrace the future and avoid the fate of companies like Kodak, who once missed the wave of technological innovation. With their unique perspective feature, they put themselves apart from other AI image generators.
Tools like Canva now seamlessly integrate their own image generators into their design toolboxes, and DALL-E, included with a ChatGPT subscription, stands out as one of the best image generators available.
However, many tools still struggle with certain challenges, such as achieving proper perspective or maintaining consistency across designs. A common frustration—creating the same character in different settings—was resolved when MidJourney introduced the character consistency feature, now a staple for advanced image generation.
For better results, use this simple formula when prompting your image generator:
Style + Subject
Optionally add more details like:

But be warned: image generation is addictive! Once you dive into this rabbit hole, hours will pass before you even notice.
