Free online AI image generator

How can I create an image using Craiyon AI?

To create an image, go to craiyon.com, type a descriptive prompt in the input field, choose your image type (art, drawing, or photo), and hit DRAW. You can refine prompts and retry to improve results. Pro tips: explore the Search to see prompts used by others and click images to view their prompts.

​

What are the waiting times for generating images on Craiyon.com?

Waiting times vary by plan. Free users may experience longer waits. Subscribers benefit from priority access: the Supporter plan reduces wait time to about 45 seconds, the Professional plan reduces it further to about 15 seconds, and Enterprise options can be even faster depending on your package.

​

Can I explore images created by other users on Craiyon.com?

Yes. Craiyon has a vast database of community creations. Browse images, click any image to see the exact prompt used, and explore similar or trending artworks for inspiration.

​

What is the Exclude section of the interface?

The Exclude field lets you specify what you don’t want in your image (for example, “people,” “text,” or “blue colors”). The AI will try to avoid including those elements to yield more precise results.

​

Why am I seeing "too much traffic"?

During peak times, free users may experience brief queues. The service is expanding its servers to reduce wait times. Subscribers have priority access and rarely see the queue; upgrading can skip the queue.

​

Are you related to DALL·E mini?

Yes. Craiyon started as DALL·E mini in 2021. The team has continued improving the technology, and Craiyon rebranded in 2022 to establish its own identity while building on the original work.

​

How does Craiyon's AI model work?

Craiyon models are trained on millions of images from the internet. When you enter a prompt, the model uses its learned understanding of concepts, styles, and relationships to generate a new image. We use diffusion-based generation that starts with noise and refines it toward your description.

​

Are there biases or limitations in AI generated art?

Yes. Like all AI models trained on internet data, Craiyon can reflect societal biases present in the training data. We’re actively researching and improving to reduce biases, and we encourage users to be mindful of this when generating content.

​

What rights do I have to Craiyon-generated images?

You can use Craiyon-generated images for personal, academic, or commercial purposes, as long as you respect the Terms of Use. If you’re a free subscriber, please credit craiyon.com for the images. Paid accounts may not require credit, per the site’s guidance.

​

How do credits work?

Credits are used to edit images with Craiyon’s highest quality models. Generating images from a text prompt does not require credits. Your subscription provides monthly credits that renew at the start of each billing period, and you can purchase top-up credit packs via the pricing page.

​

What's the difference between free and paid accounts?

• Free: base-quality images, watermarks, and potential wait times.
• Supporter: best quality images, credits for editing, all aspect ratios, no watermarks, priority generation, higher-quality downloads.
• Professional: everything in Supporter plus more editing credits, private image generation, fastest priority, early access to features.
