How to choose

No tool is best for everyone. Try two or three on one real task of yours, then use this checklist.

  1. Can you use the images commercially?Read the licence. Rules for selling or publishing generated images differ between tools and plans.
  2. How does it handle text in images?Some tools draw readable words better than others. Test with the words you need.
  3. What is the free option?Check whether you can try it free, and whether free images carry limits or a watermark.
  4. How much control do you get?Look for editing, style options and the ability to reuse a look across several images.
  5. Is the training data explained?If it matters to you, look at what the maker says about how the model was trained.
  6. Does it label AI images?Some tools add a label or content credentials. Think about whether you want to disclose AI use.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use AI images for my business?

It depends on the tool's licence and your plan. Read the terms before you publish or sell anything.

Why do the hands and text look wrong?

Image models still make mistakes with fine details. Generate several versions, and fix details in an editor.

Should I tell people an image is AI-made?

In many places and platforms it is expected or required. When in doubt, say so.
