The "how" is easy. Just enter any word or phrase you like - this is known as the text prompt. E.g. "A cow jumping over the moon". We have also provided you with a list of popular modifier keywords that will help influence the style of your art. E.g. "Abstract", "Trending on Artstation" and "Water Colour" just to name a few. Modifiers are optional. When you click "Create", our AI will work it’s magic to produce an image that matches your text prompt.

It takes between 2 and 15 minutes depending on how long you choose to run the algorithm for. A longer runtime gives your artwork a better chance of properly forming.

VQGAN and CLIP are two state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms that work together to create art from a text prompt. VQGAN is an image generator, and CLIP can judge how well the image matches your prompt. CLIP gives feedback to VQGAN on how to make the image more like the text prompt. Repeat this process a few hundred times and some incredible results emerge!

It's free to generate up to 2 artworks per day. To create more, you can purchase a credit pack, or earn credits by participating in the community. No subscriptions required.
