## In depth

### How text to image AI works
Most modern image models are diffusion models: they start from random noise and remove it step by step, guided by your text, until an image appears. Latent diffusion — the approach behind Stable Diffusion — does this in a compressed space so it runs fast enough for everyday use [1]. Newer models add better text understanding, so they follow long, specific prompts more faithfully.

### The prompt formula
Most strong prompts answer the same questions, in this order:
- Style or medium — photo, oil painting, anime, 3D render, poster.
- Subject — who or what, with one or two defining details.
- Action and setting — what's happening, and where.
- Light — golden hour, softbox, neon, candlelight.
- Camera or composition — lens, angle, framing.

### Why compare models
Every model has a personality: some are photographic, some painterly, some great with text, some fast. Running the same prompt on several models in Arena is the quickest way to find the one that suits your idea — then keep the seed and refine.

## FAQ
Q: What is text to image AI?
A: AI that turns a written description into an image. You describe the subject, style and mood; the model draws a new picture that matches.

Q: What is the best text to image AI?
A: No single model wins everything. Seedream 5.0 Pro and GPT Image 2 are strongest for polished and photoreal images, GPT Image 2 for text inside images, and Flux 2 Dev for drafts on the free plan. Arena lets you compare them on your own prompt.

Q: Is there a free text to image AI generator?
A: Yes, to start: a free account gets 25 credits to test, and seven models are on the free plan. Bigger jobs use one-time credit packs that never expire.

Q: How do I write a good text-to-image prompt?
A: Lead with the style or medium, then the subject and what it's doing, the setting, the light and the camera. Six clear details beat a long list of adjectives.

Q: Can I compare models on the same prompt?
A: Yes. Arena runs your prompt on your chosen model plus up to 4 more at once, side by side. Each image counts as a separate generation.

Q: Can it put text in the image?
A: Yes. GPT Image 2 and Qwen Image 3.0 are good at readable text such as signs, posters and labels.

Q: Does it add a watermark?
A: No. Images download without a watermark.
