What each tool does

Midjourney

Midjourney generates images from prompts and offers controls for variations and visual references. It is available through its website and Discord with a paid subscription.

Ideogram made its name by rendering legible, well-placed text inside generated images — posters, logos, packaging and memes that don’t need retouching. Fast generations and a built-in canvas editor round out a strong free tier.

Leonardo AI

Leonardo AI focuses on repeatable, controllable image generation: trained styles, element controls and canvas editing make it practical for game assets, product shots and marketing visuals rather than one-off art. Now part of Canva, with a capable free tier.

Adobe Firefly

Firefly is Adobe’s generative engine, trained on licensed content so output is safe for commercial work. It powers Generative Fill in Photoshop and text effects across Creative Cloud, making it the least risky choice for agencies and brand teams.

FLUX

FLUX is the image model family from Black Forest Labs, founded by the original Stable Diffusion researchers. Known for photorealism, prompt fidelity and strong editing via Kontext, it powers image features in many popular apps and offers open-weight variants.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is the open-weight image generation family from Stability AI. Because the weights are public, it can run on your own GPU, be fine-tuned on custom styles, and powers a huge ecosystem of community tools like ComfyUI and countless LoRAs.

Recraft

Recraft targets working designers: consistent brand styles, precise text rendering, mockups and true vector SVG output that scales cleanly. Its models rank near the top of image benchmarks while staying focused on production design workflows.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s general-purpose assistant for drafting text, discussing ideas and working with uploaded files. Available models, tools and usage allowances depend on the plan.
