Top 5 Best Free AI Image Generator Apps (November 2023 Update!) Midjourney Alternative
Summary
TLDRThe video introduces and compares five of the best free AI art generator alternatives to Midjourney that are currently available. It first highlights Bing AI Image Creator and Canva AI as two easy-to-use options that produce high quality images with just a few clicks, although both have limits on free usage. It then moves on to the more fully-featured Leonardo AI and Adobe Firefly, which offer more advanced generative capabilities alongside free quotas that reset daily or monthly. Leonardo AI stands out for its unlimited daily token allotment, upscaling abilities to refine images, as well as intuitive mobile apps. Meanwhile Adobe Firefly provides unique stylistic filters and editing tools like expanding, erasing, or adding to image contents. Finally, the presenter recommends Playground AI as the best Midjourney alternative due to its extremely generous daily free quota and array of included generative features. Playground AI enables mixing image contents, swapping subjects between photos, inserting new objects or prompts, applying filters called "palettes", and fine-tuning image parameters like quality, details and prompt guidance. Its newly updated canvas layout also facilitates intuitive image manipulation and iteration. In summary, while all five AI art tools produce compelling results, Playground AI emerges as the top free alternative to Midjourney based on its virtually unlimited use quota and built-in generative capabilities that enhance creative control and customization. The presenter does note however that for quick and easy AI image generation with minimal configurability, Bing AI and Canva AI may still prove optimal.

Transcripts
I'll show you the top five best free mid
Journey Alternatives that are working
right now and they really are the best
some older videos on YouTube demonstrate
mid Journey Alternatives that are no
longer free to use I'll start with two
free AI art tools that are quick and
easy to use with a few button clicks and
move on to the more complex ones that
give much greater creative control
including awesome generative feel and
other generative AI features some of
these AI tools are free and unlimited to
use and others have daily or weekly
quoters of free use remember to check
out the AI video maker course in the
description and pin comment below you'll
learn cool ways to make money with AI
videos and you can try it out for just
$1 now let's take a look at these free
AI art generators the first best free
mid-journey alternative I'm going to
show you is Bing AI image generator
otherwise known as Bing Creator it uses
the new and improved Dar 3 AI art
generator engine and you can see below
in the Explorer area that there's some
really crisp and beautiful looking
designs here being image Creator is 100%
unlimited however it does take longer to
produce the images when you're not using
the Boost feature however when you do
use the Boost feature the images are
generated very quickly at this point you
get 22 boosts per week and this resets
every week so if you're a light user
this is going to be a great solution for
you this free AI image generator
platform is quite simple and doesn't
include many of the features we'll see
in the other free AI image generators
I'll show you it's great for producing
fantastic images in a short amount of
time at the click of a few buttons watch
the video above to learn a little bit
more about how to use Dar 3 for free how
to access and use it let's create an
image of a cute cood on an inflatable
pool bed in a swimming pool with sunset
in the background this took about 13
seconds but I sped it up for the sake of
this video and we've got four great
looking results here all in quite High
detail they're pretty much exactly what
I put in the prompt let's have a look at
these four yeah they're all very cute I
think I like this one here the best so I
can just easily save the file by tapping
download the next best free AI image
generator mid Journey alternative is
actually canva AI canva has recently
Incorporated AI into their design
platform if you're not already familiar
with canva it's a great tool for doing
Simple graphic design with simple
templates to use and it's very drag and
drop to access the free online AI image
generator create a design come over onto
the left here and select apps scroll
down and come to the AI powered section
and you need to look for the magic media
tool so select that go ahead and open it
and then type in your prompt we'll use
the same prompt as before to compare
images here again you can see we've got
the option for different styles and
aspect ratios other than that canva AI
image generator is again a very simple
platform to use with not too many bells
and whistles so it's great to use for a
quick design with just a few button
clicks next just click create your image
this generation took about 30 seconds
and let's take a look at the results
here flicking through them them one at a
time we're again given four designs all
of them quite good the details in the
fur are fantastic here but I think I
like this one here the best and just
zooming in you can see how much detail
there really is and to save I can just
tap share then download as a PNG down
the bottom you can see that we have now
use one of our 49 credits so this is
actually limited and it doesn't reset at
this point if you have canva Pro you get
500 per month but you can get around
this by simply creating a new account
each time you want to access another $40
magic media uses and you can simply
create a new account with an email
address each time Leonardo AI is the
next best free mid joury alternative
that's unlimited while virtually
unlimited it takes a little bit to
access including going on a white list
which doesn't take long but check out
this video here to see how to access it
free and quickly on the Leonardo AI
homepage you can see that we have tokens
that get reset every single day also a
recent upgrade to leonado AI is their
new Alchemy V2 engine which comes in the
models of Leonardo diffusion XL Leonardo
Vision XL and albo base XL and we have
all these other different styles of
models to choose from okay we'll paste
in this same prompt before we hit
generate let's check out some of the
feature Rich options we've got with
Leonardo AI I'll run through these real
quick we have photo real alchemi V2
which we have turned on and then we've
got input dimensions and then we have
what's called a guidance scale down here
and with each selection of these
features from the left hand side you can
see that the cost to generate the image
goes up which you can see isn't going to
be anywhere near what my daily quota is
I've accidentally generated twice so I'm
going to get six images instead of just
three and you can see that each time it
took about 35 or 40 seconds to generate
these images again we're presented with
some really great results here I
actually like the top left one the most
it's the most believable and then when
we open it up you can see that down in
the bottom right we have a bunch of
different options we can use to change
the quality of the image so we can do
some refining here and change the
strength of the refining to make it even
more detailed and then we can click
refine to make the image upscaled and
I've saved both of these images both
before and after refining and you can
see the difference in detail between the
two so the upscaling feature is really
good here on leonado AI there's a lot
more other features you can use inside
leonado AI but I won't go over them
today play with it in your own time I
will say that another great feature with
the free AI image generator that is
leonado AI is there an amazing fully
featured native IOS and Android app
available so you can generate on the Fly
and it's synced to your desktop version
as well which is great you can start
projects on your phone or on your
computer and pick them up at the other
end when you want to use it watch the
video above here to learn a little bit
more about using the leonado AI iPhone
app the next best free mid Journey
alternative is none other than Adobe
Firefly you can create a free Adobe ID
and use Adobe Firefly straight off the
web based version now looking at the
homepage of adobe Firefly you can see
all the great new features we have
included not only is adob Firefly a
great AI image generator but we have
some amazing generative AI features
built in that you can use for free so
yes we have text to image generative F
and text effects scrolling down you can
see we also have some of these other
features here that are either coming
soon or in Exploration mode scrolling
down further and you can see as we click
through backdrops animal portrait macro
people food and sci-fi we can move the
mouse left and right to see the
differences between Firefly image 1 and
Firefly image 2 Beta a huge upgrade in
performance let's put in that same
prompt and click generate this
generation took about 40 seconds some
interesting results definitely different
from the first three AI image generator
tools we looked at now on the right with
ad doobe Firefly we can choose between
again aspect ratios different types of
content we can change the visual
intensity and style couple of tool tips
here we've got what's called match image
style so you can upload an image for its
reference in generating an image and we
can play around with the photo settings
here so let's go with the hyperrealistic
and Bouquet effect and generate a new
image and you can see these images are a
lot more stylish and photographic
looking and I think out of the four of
these I like this one the best so I'll
go ahead and download that so again
using Adobe Firefly I have the feature
Rich generative AI editing tools I could
use such as expanding the dimensions of
the image to include more detail in the
extense of the image I can paint out
some parts of the image that I want
removed or even add in additional items
in the background or foreground but I
won't go into that today with this video
again Adobe Firefly is free to use but
it is limited as to how much you can use
it so we get 25 generative credits to
use and it resets each month looking at
this table here we can see what the cost
is to use each of the features and at
the moment for text effects it is
completely unlimited to use which is
great similar to with canbo if you
wanted to use this perpetually you could
just create Adobe ID after Adobe ID to
reset your count of generative credit
use the last best free mid Journey
alternative that I'm going to show you
is playground AI playground AI is
probably the most unlimited to use and
most feature Rich AI image generator
tool that we have for free at the moment
it has recently been updated and has
amazing generative AI features built in
as well as full control of all the
design features that you could want
scanning down the homepage you can see
we've got features such as what's called
mixed image editing use generative AI to
include more detail in the extent of the
image and we can see you can erase
things out of your image such as like
this and easily swap the subject of a
photo into different scenes like this
use your creativity to add in an object
using a prompt like this and much much
more pricing for playground Ai and you
can see the free plan includes 500
images per day which is so much and you
need to be a massively heavy user to go
over this each day all right we'll paste
in this prompt and generate that over on
the side here we can see we've got a
tutorial of this new canvas layout that
has been recently introduced and shows
us how to navigate around inside here I
think it's a unique and very cool way of
navigating around your canvas making it
as if it almost pitches on a wall that
you could move around at your own
Leisure you can see that on the left we
can choose between a few different
options including different f filters
they're called and we can make a new
image with this filter let's see what
type of image we come up with with this
filter uh this generation's moved a
little bit away from my prompt but
that's okay we can now look at the right
hand side where we have many more
adjustments we can tweak for our next
Generation including prompt guidance
quality and details and number of images
back on the left we also have negative
prompts and we can also use what's
called control traits and we've also got
image to image so after a few more
Generations we can see we've gone quite
far down the design tunnel but I like
this first one out of the lot so I'm
going to go ahead and save this one
comparing the results from all five
tools and they're actually all quite
compelling particularly Leonardo's
upscaled version Firefly is quite good
with that amazing Bok and Leonardo is
amazing too being in canva they were
quick Generations so it's great for what
it is at the click of a few buttons and
then of course with the other three
tools there's a lot more you can do to
get involved in the editing of the
design and then of course with five fly
and playground you have the generative
AI features overall I think the best two
platforms are Leonardo Ai and playground
AI simply because it's very close to
being unlimited use but the fact that
playground AI has generative AI built in
for free and it's pretty much unlimited
means it gets my number one position for
the best free mid Journey alternative I
didn't mention Photoshop 2024 as one of
the best free AI image generators as
it's mostly paid but watch this video to
see how to download and use Photoshop
2024 generative F to try it out for free
also subscribe to the channel so you can
get more AI updates as they happen
thanks for watching and I'll see you in
the next video
