Craiyon

Craiyon is a free online image generator powered by AI that allows users to create pictures from text descriptions. Originally known as DALL-E Mini, Craiyon was rebranded and became popular for giving anyone access to basic image generation without needing technical setup.

Users simply enter a prompt—any imaginative description—and Craiyon’s AI model produces several small images attempting to depict the prompt. Although the results are often lower resolution and can be less refined than those from more advanced models, Craiyon is continually improving and provides a fun, accessible experience.

It covers a wide range of subjects and styles, though outputs might sometimes look abstract or distorted for very complex prompts. Craiyon is widely used for casual experimentation, memes, or getting rough visual ideas down quickly, demonstrating the possibilities of AI art to a broad audience.
