Leonardo.Ai has been primarily developed to generate game assets, be it environments, buildings, items, helmets, Alternative Midjourney and more. The company has brought multiple artistic tools to quickly generate production-ready visual assets.

You can even train your own AI model and create images for your personalized environment. What stood out to me the most is that Leonardo.Ai is also good at generating human faces without any blemish in the eyes. So if you are interested in a powerful text-to-image model like Midjourney, Leonardo.Ai is a great alternative. ProsConsBest for generating game assetsAccess to early-bird users onlyCharacter portraits are quite goodTrain your own visual model

In case you are unaware, Microsoft has integrated AI image generation into Bing AI Chat, besides the standalone website. You can now generate images with a natural prompt in the Bing Chat interface. However, you must use the "Creative" mode to trigger the Bing AI Image Creator. It’s powered by OpenAI’s DALL·E model, and there is seemingly no limit on creating images on Bing Chat. Basically, it exists as a free service in Bing Search.

That said, after the first 25 image generations per day, you don’t get quick output results and you need to wait for the final image. Sure, it’s not good at generating human faces, and the quality is a notch lower than Midjourney, but overall, it does a good job at quickly creating AI images even on an abstract concept. So if you are looking for a free alternative to Midjourney, you can very well give Bing Image Creator a shot. ProsConsBest free AI image generatorLimited customization optionsPowered by DALL·EIntegrated with Bing Chat

5. Adobe Firefly

In the digital graphics industry, Adobe is one of the foremost companies to have built a great suite of software. And now, in this AI age, Adobe is leaving no stone unturned to innovate and compete with other image-generation models. In an attempt to rival Midjourney, Adobe has released its own creative AI model called Firefly.

It has a number of tools for text-to-image generation, image expansion, vector recoloring, text effects, inpainting, sketch-to-image, and more. However, most of the tools are still in development, but Adobe has already released the Text to Image tool, and currently, it’s free to all users. Just like Midjourney, you can enter the prompt in natural language, and it will output four images in different variations. You can choose the content type such as Art, Graphic, Photo, or None. There are also other options like choosing color, tone, lighting, composition, and more. Overall, in my testing, I found it to be fast at generating images and did a decent job at creating landscapes and other concepts. However, for human subjects, it’s not very photorealistic like Midjourney. ProsConsIn-house text-to-image model by AdobeStill a work-in-progressHas promising features like image expansion and sketch-to-imageFree for now

Blue Willow is an interesting alternative to Midjourney that has amassed more than 300 million users on its Discord server. It’s completely free to use and runs on user donation. You can join the Blue Willow Discord server and enter your prompt to generate images then and there. People are using Blue Willow to create logos, characters from comics, digital artwork, landscapes, graphic concepts, and more.

I tried some prompts, and it generated some decent images. But talking about realistic scenes, well, Blue Willow falls short of Midjourney. Nevertheless, for any kind of digital art or graphics, Blue Willow does an excellent job. Though, what I liked the most about this tool is that it generates images within a minute despite the large user base, which is cool. To sum up, Blue Willow is a promising free alternative to Midjourney and you should definitely give it a try. ProsConsSurprisingly good at generating human facesNeed to join a Discord serverFree to use; no limitationVery fast

Platforms: Web (Discord), Android, iOSCheck out Blue Willow (Free) 7. InstantArt

InstantArt is not a text-to-image model per se, but it hosts more than 25 such models, which you can use to instantly create AI-generated images. It includes powerful AI models like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney V4, Anything V3, Wifu, SynthWavePunk, IconsMI, and a lot more. The website is easy to navigate, you enter your prompt in natural language, add some negative prompts you want, choose the model and you are good to go.

The website does not automatically pick the model for you, but instead, the choice is yours. I would say if you want to explore different text-to-image models and compare Midjourney with other such products, InstantArt is the best place for this exercise. You also get the option to choose the image dimension, offering a maximum size of 768 x 512. In conclusion, I really like InstantArt as it also lets you use Midjourney V4 for free. ProsCons25+ image models to choose from Often throws errorsMidjourney V4 available for freeEasy to use

8. NightCafe

Again, NightCafe is not an image model itself, but a website service that lets you access multiple text-to-image models. It supports Stable Diffusion (the latest SDXL model too), DALL-E 2, CLIP-Guided Diffusion, VQGAN+CLIP, and Style Transfer. If you want to create masterpieces modeled on old artworks, you can choose Style Transfer; you can pick CLIP-Guided Diffusion for artistic images; and pick VQGAN+CLIP to generate beautiful sceneries.

Then, there are Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2 models for next-generation image synthesis. Having said that, the website is not entirely free to use. You only get 3 free credits on sign up, and you have to pay or earn credits through social campaigns to use other advanced models. Simply put, NightCafe is another service that you can try to compare various image models. ProsConsVery capable text-to-image modelNot entirely freeStable Diffusion and DALL·E availableMultiple limitationsBest for creating old masterpieces

Platforms: WebCheck out NightCafe (Free up to 3 credits, Paid plan starts at $5.99/ month) 9. Lexica

Lexica is an AI-image generator website that has finetuned its own image model based on Stable Diffusion. It also acts as a search engine for Stable Diffusion-generated images. You can use it to generate 100 AI images per month without paying any charge. And for $10 a month, you can generate as many as 1000 images in a month.

Anyway, moving to image generation, you can use its Lexica Aperture v3 or v2 model and choose the dimension up to 768 x 1152. In my brief usage, Lexica performed pretty well and came up with high-quality images. If you want to use an AI image generator like Midjourney for free, this Stable Diffusion-powered Lexica model is a promising place to start from.

Platforms: WebCheck out Lexica (Free up to 100 images/month, Paid plans start at $10/month) 10. Playground AI

Playground AI is another fantastic AI image creator website that hosts Stable Diffusion and DALL-E. The best part about Playground AI is that it lets you create 1,000 images per day for free, which is just bonkers. However, you can’t use the DALL-E model under the free version, and there might be some limits on quality and details after 50 images.

In addition, you can’t change the image dimension from 515 x 512 or 768 x 768. But despite the limitations, it’s still a fantastic choice for newbies. The image generation is quick, and it does not keep you in a queue. To conclude, users who want to try a free alternative to Midjourney, Playground AI might be the one you are looking for. ProsConsGenerate 1000 images per day for freeFree users can generate only one image at a timeStable Diffusion and DALL·E are availablePlenty of limitations for free usersPretty quick at generating images
