A beginner's guide to AI image generators
Oct 14, 2026 · 5 min read
AI image generators turn a text description into a picture. Quality depends less on clever wording and more on being specific about subject, style and framing.
Pick a style first: photo, illustration, 3D or flat design. Then describe the subject and the mood. Short, concrete prompts usually beat long, vague ones.
Check the licence before using an image commercially. Terms differ between tools, and some restrict commercial use on free plans.
Most tools offer a free allowance. Generate a handful of images with the same prompt in two tools and compare before paying for either.
