Best AI Tools for Art

Best AI tools for Art

Best AI tools for generating art are often based on something called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which have two parts: a generator that creates images from random noise, and a discriminator that tries to tell if an image is real or made by the generator. As that’s the case with many things in life, the generator gets better with proper training. And at the end of the day, that “proper training” results in some amazingly generated images that could look realistic, artistic or game-like — depending on the training model.

In that sense, artists and designers rely on these AI tools like DALL-E, Midjourney and Adobe Firefly to speed things up, whereas the general public likes to play with them to see what the computer can create with a simple prompt (or more of them). And the results could be nothing short of stunning, as you can see for yourself by trying one of the tools in this section.

What kind of art can I create with AI tools?

Generally speaking, there are no limits to what kind of art and images you can create with AI tools for art. For instance, you could use them to:

  • Create digital paintings and illustrations

    These tools support various styles, from realistic to abstract and even anime (like PixAI.Art). Moreover, some tools let you upload a basic sketch and then generate a completed painting.

  • Enhance photos

    Other tools let you enhance existing photos, like changing colors, adding colors to old black-and-white photos, turning photos into paintings, adding artistic effects, and more. Probably, the best example here is Adobe Firefly though you may also want to try out ZMO.AI, which offers a set of different tools for enhancing photos.

  • Design

    Some AI art tools let you design art and then use it in logos, posters, banners, and other graphic design elements. Again, you may want to check Adobe Firefly for this.

  • 3D art

    Beyond 2D designs, there are tools that add a third dimension to the mix. Such models can then be used in video games, animations, and other digital media.

  • Animations

    Why settle for a static image when you can have an animated one? There are tools that will let you do this.

  • Create new paintings from old masters

    Since many image-generating models have been trained on old images, including paintings from old masters, you can use them to create new art that looks like it was created by major artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Degas, Picasso, and so on. Midjourney is amazing for this, but so is OpenAI’s DALL-E.

  • Text-based art

    Text could look just as nice as a photo with some AI art tools allowing you to create fancy text from your prompts. The “Happy Birthday” notes will never be the same…

And there’s more, but we invite you to check out for yourself and see what modern AI tools for art can do. We are confident you will find your own AI voice and create unique works of art with nothing but a prompt.
