What it is
Craiyon is a web-based image generator that turns text prompts into photos, art, logos, anime, posters, and coloring pages. Users can choose a style and image shape or leave either on Auto, and an Exclude option specifies elements to omit. Craiyon says prompts can be written in languages other than English. Users can also provide reference images and edit generated images. Its gallery supports browsing themed pictures, viewing their prompts, and making versions; keyword search and similar-image discovery offer additional ways to explore. Commercial use is included. Text-only generation does not use credits, but retouching, photo input, reference images, upscaling, SVG conversion, and video do. Unused monthly credits do not roll over. The free plan provides limited generation, adds a watermark, makes images public to anyone with their link, and may involve waits at busy times. Craiyon began as DALL·E mini in 2021 and became Craiyon in 2022.
