Dreamup

DreamUp turns text prompts into AI-generated images. Describe the subject and add creative details like style, color palette, and background to guide what you want to see. You can then generate results across different visual directions, including options such as anime and 3D, as well as cinematic and other styles.

To get closer to your intended look, DreamUp includes controls for how strongly your prompt influences the result and for the image’s aspect ratio. This helps you refine both the look and the framing before finalizing, rather than relying entirely on a single automatic output.

DreamUp is also built with creator protections in mind. Artists can opt out of having AI-generated images created in their style, and when a DreamUp image is inspired by an artist’s style, proper credit can be provided under DeviantArt policies. There are also settings related to whether external AI models and platforms can use art for training.

DreamUp usage varies by plan. The free tier allows up to 30 images per week using 10 prompts, while Core Members can generate up to 500 prompts per month depending on their Core plan, with additional prompts available via DeviantArt Points after free prompts are used.
