# AI Image Generator > An AI image generator turns a text prompt into a picture. Kenerate AI offers 80+ image models — including Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 — so you can pick the right one for each job or compare several in Arena. Generate from text, restyle or combine images, free to start, with no subscription required or watermark.

In our 19-model test on the same prompt, the results ranged from painterly to photographic to anime. Having them in one account means you can draft, compare, and finish on the model that suits the image, without juggling subscriptions. ### How AI image generators work Most models are diffusion models: they start from noise and refine it step by step toward your prompt. Latent diffusion does this in a compressed space, which made image generation fast enough for everyday use [1]. Newer models add stronger text understanding, reference images and editing. ### Getting better results Habits that help on every model: - Lead with the medium: photo, oil painting, anime, 3D render, poster. - Describe light and camera: golden hour, softbox, 50mm, film grain. - Put any text in quotes and say where it goes. - Keep the seed when you like a result and change one detail at a time.

A: It depends on the job: Seedream 5.0 Pro for polished photos, GPT Image 2 for text, Recraft V4.1 for design, Krea 2 Large for mood and Flux 2 Dev for drafts on the free plan. Kenerate puts all of them in one account, and Arena runs the same prompt on up to 5 models so you can compare before you pick. Q: Is Kenerate's AI image generator free? A: Yes, to start. A new account gets starter credits on sign-up to test, and seven models are on the free plan, including Flux 2 Dev for drafts. Bigger jobs use one-time credit packs rather than a subscription, and credits never expire. Sign-in takes one click with Google, GitHub or Discord, and downloads have no watermark. Q: How many models does Kenerate have? A: 80+ image models from ByteDance, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Microsoft, Alibaba, Black Forest Labs, Tencent, Kuaishou, Recraft, Krea and open-source projects. In our test, the same knight prompt on 19 of them ranged from painterly to photographic to anime. The full list, with each model's limits, is on the models page. Q: Do I need a subscription? A: No. You buy one-time credit packs when you need them, and credits never expire, so there is nothing to cancel. A new account starts with free starter credits, and seven models are on the free plan. Having 80+ models in one account also means you don't juggle separate subscriptions for each image tool. Q: Does it add a watermark? A: No. Images download without a watermark, whether they come from starter credits, a credit pack or a free-plan model such as Flux 2 Dev. The same goes for edits, combines and Edit Studio upscales, so the file you download is ready to use as it is, with nothing to crop out. Q: Can I edit my own photos? A: Yes. Upload a photo and describe the change in one sentence, combine up to 16 images into one scene with GPT Image 2, or use the 14 tools in Edit Studio, from background removal to an upscaler that reaches 8K. You can also restyle your own photo or sketch with image to image. Q: What resolution can I get? A: Up to 4K on models such as Seedream 5.0 Lite and GPT Image 2; Seedream 5.0 Lite is our pick for 4K output and for phone and desktop wallpapers. For anything bigger, generate at the size you need and use the upscaler in Edit Studio, which goes up to 8K, before you download without a watermark. ## Related pages - Text to image: https://kenerateai.com/text-to-image-ai - Image to image: https://kenerateai.com/image-to-image-ai - Edit a photo: https://kenerateai.com/ai-image-editor - Combine images: https://kenerateai.com/ai-image-combiner - Realistic photos: https://kenerateai.com/realistic-ai-image-generator - Characters: https://kenerateai.com/ai-character-generator - Posters: https://kenerateai.com/ai-poster-generator - Thumbnails: https://kenerateai.com/ai-thumbnail-generator - Wallpapers: https://kenerateai.com/ai-wallpaper-generator - Tattoo designs: https://kenerateai.com/ai-tattoo-generator - Stickers: https://kenerateai.com/ai-sticker-generator - Sketch to image: https://kenerateai.com/sketch-to-image - Hairstyles: https://kenerateai.com/ai-hairstyle-changer - Family crests: https://kenerateai.com/family-crest-maker - AI influencers: https://kenerateai.com/ai-influencer-generator - Better prompts: https://kenerateai.com/prompt-enhancer - Headshots: https://kenerateai.com/ai-headshot-generator - Logos: https://kenerateai.com/ai-logo-generator - Colorize photos: https://kenerateai.com/colorize-photo - Anime: https://kenerateai.com/ai-anime-generator - Cartoons: https://kenerateai.com/ai-cartoon-generator - Pixel art: https://kenerateai.com/image-to-pixel-art - Album covers: https://kenerateai.com/ai-album-cover-generator - Hair colour: https://kenerateai.com/ai-hair-color-changer ## Sources - Rombach et al., “High-Resolution Image Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Models” (CVPR 2022): https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.10752
