How to use AI Image Generator using Pikto AI?
- On Pikto AI, click on the "Image" tab in the format options, then select "Image Generator."
- Insert Your Prompt
- Describe your image idea in as much detail as possible in the prompt box — the more specific you are, the better the results!
- The final result will depend on the chosen AI model’s ability to interpret and transform your text prompt into an image.
- For example: “A scenic mountain landscape at sunrise, with golden light hitting the snow-covered peaks, pine trees in the foreground, and a clear blue sky.”
💡 Please note that there's a 150 character limit in the prompt including spaces.
💡 You can use the “Inspire Me” button to generate a random AI prompt suggestion for you. AI will suggest a creative prompt that you can use as-is or modify to suit your vision.
- Choose your preferred AI model
- Currently, Pikto AI Image Generator supports two powerful options:
- Imagen developed by Google, is known for producing clean, realistic visuals with high attention to detail. It’s great for natural scenes, everyday objects, and photorealistic results.
- OpenAI is more versatile when it comes to artistic styles and abstract concepts. It’s a good choice if you're looking to generate something more imaginative or illustrative.
💡 If you're on a PRO or Business plan, you’ll get access to the advanced versions of Imagen 4 and GPT, which offer higher-quality outputs and faster performance. Free users will have access to the Basic AI models only.
