AI image generator

To generate an AI image, follow these steps:

1. Open a new project with Wixel, and choose the AI image generator feature.

2. Enter a text prompt. Describe what you want to create in as much detail as possible. The more specific you are about the image you want AI to generate, the better your result will be. For help improving your prompt, try the “enhance prompt” feature in Wixel.

3. Add a reference image. You can upload an image of a person or object, and our AI image generator will use it as a reference.

4. Choose your settings. Choose your image size, and set the style, camera angle, and other details based on how you want your AI-generated image to look.

5. Generate the image. Click “Generate”. The platform uses advanced algorithms to interpret your text and produce unique images that align with your description.

6. Review and refine. The photo generator will create several options. Choose the one you like best, then you can perfect it with our AI photo editor, and download when ready.

To get the best results from Wixel’s AI image generator, provide clear, detailed prompts. Here’s how to get the best AI-generated image possible:

• Be specific and descriptive. Describe the image subject and environment in detail, and use sensory words to help the AI image generator understand the desired mood. For example, instead of “a beach at sunset” you could say “a tranquil beach at sunset, with golden sun rays reflected on the waves, and palm trees silhouetted against an orange and pink sky.”

• Define the composition and style. Specify how you want the subject framed, whether that’s close-up or a wide shot. Indicate an artistic style like realistic or cinematic. With Wixel, you can choose these settings before you generate an image, instead of writing them in the prompt.

• Refine your prompt. If there’s anything you don’t want the generated image to have, say it in the prompt. Check that the prompt is presented clearly and logically to help the image generator process the prompt effectively.

The best prompt ideas for an AI image generator are ones that clearly communicate your vision. With Wixel, you can describe the image, and set specific styles, camera angles, and compositions. When thinking of ideas for your prompt, here are the best aspects to incorporate:

A specific subject or scene: make sure you describe the who, what, and where for your image. Instead of “a car,” try “a classic 1960s convertible driving on a windy coastal road at dusk.”

A mood or atmosphere: use descriptive adjectives for the feeling you want the image to create, like “a bustling city street” or “a warm and cozy cafe.”

Texture: describe the surface and feel of objects in your image. You might want “smooth polished chrome” or “weathered wood grain” to add a layer of realism and detail.

Lighting: including what type of lighting the AI-generated image should have can transform the result. Is it soft or harsh? Direct or diffused? You can also describe the light source and color, whether it’s golden sunlight or cool blue moonlight.

Adding this rich detail in combination with Wixel’s image settings will help you create the best possible prompts.

To create realistic AI images, it helps to think like a photographer. Prompts that specify an aperture of f/1.8 for a blurry background, a fast shutter speed to freeze motion, or a desired 4K resolution give the AI a strong technical foundation. This helps generate a high-resolution image with sharp focus and clarity, mimicking the output of a professional camera.

Another way to ensure realism is by helping the AI get the subject's features right. For human portraits, AI can sometimes generate asymmetric results with misplaced facial features. To prevent this, specify that the subject should have “balanced features” or follow “natural realism.” You can then build a convincing environment around your subject using descriptive words to establish a specific mood, like a serene forest with muted colors, or a vibrant cityscape with dramatic shadows.

The best AI photo generator is one that provides high-quality results and fits into your creative workflow. As you research which image generator is right for you, here are some important factors to consider:

• Image quality and realism: look for a generator that consistently produces high-resolution, detailed images without any odd or warped details. The best platforms can create a wide range of styles, from photorealistic to artistic.

• Creative control: the best generators give you more control over the output with settings for style, camera angles, and aspect ratios, plus the ability to use a reference image.

• Ease of use: look for a platform with a clean interface and helpful features, like AI prompt enhancers, that make it easy to translate your ideas into stunning visuals.

• Integrated editing tools: a great platform will include built-in photo editing tools to help you refine or repurpose your AI-generated images without needing to switch to another software.

Wixel is designed to excel in all these areas, giving you the tools you need to generate high-quality, realistic images with precise control and perfect them with our photo editor, all in one place.

You can use Wixel’s AI image generator or any AI features under our free plan. With the free plan, you have 20 weekly AI credits, which you can use for generating images. All you need to do to start creating with Wixel is sign up for a free account. If you need more AI credits, you can always upgrade to one of our paid plans.

People use AI image generators because they make it faster, easier, and more affordable to explore ideas and create unique visuals at scale. With an AI image generator like Wixel’s, you can:

• Create visuals instantly with a text prompt, instead of spending hours searching through stock photo libraries.

• Reduce costs, because professional photography or premium stock images can be expensive, especially if you’re testing ideas. An AI image generator is a cost-effective alternative, allowing you to produce a virtually unlimited number of custom images for creative projects.

• Generate exactly the image you need, instead of settling for one that’s “close enough.” With a photo generator, you can create exactly what you need on-demand.

• Scale creative work by producing visuals at a scale that used to require large teams. Now, you can instantly generate images for an entire campaign, and ensure your visual style remains consistent across channels.

Using images you generate with Wixel’s image generator for your personal projects, marketing materials, and other commercial purposes is generally safe. However, we recommend that you double-check whether you have the right to use it, and review the potential risks of using generative AI tools. Note that all usage is subject to Wix’s Terms of Use. Please review these terms to ensure compliance with any specific guidelines or limitations that may apply.

Yes, AI can create stunning, photorealistic images that look like high-end 3D renders, and it does it directly from your text description.

Today’s AI models are trained on a vast dataset of images, so they understand how to realistically apply complex lighting, shadows, and material textures to the objects in your scene. This automates the most time-consuming parts of the creative process, allowing you to generate incredibly detailed visuals in seconds, without any specialized software.

With a tool like Wixel, you can instantly create visuals that were once only possible for 3D artists. Simply describe what you want, like a photorealistic render of a modern glass house or a detailed 3D render of a new product design, to get a professional-quality result.

The financial cost to generate an AI image varies across platforms, and can depend on factors like the final image’s resolution or quality. Many services offer monthly or annual subscription plans that provide a set number of credits for generating AI images. Others use a pay-as-you-go model. While some free tools are available, they often have limitations on image quality, speed, or commercial usage rights. Wixel offers clear subscription plans with set credits for all AI use. Beyond the direct price, there's also a significant computational and energy cost. Generating a high-quality AI image is an energy-intensive process that requires powerful servers to run complex algorithms. This operational cost is a key factor for any AI service.
