AI image generators: create images with AI

Last reviewed on

An AI image generator creates images from a text description. Some also edit existing photos via prompt. The Buzzmatic directory lists all available AI image generators (as of October 2026), with filters for free plans and a German interface. For a recommendation by use case, see the comparison of the best AI image generators.

This page lists all AI image generators in the Buzz­matic directory, with filters for price, platform and language. The list shows generators that create images from text. Tools for image editing, logos and avatars have their own categories.

You describe the subject, style and format as a text prompt, and the AI delivers variants. Some generators can also modify existing photos via prompt (image-to-image). A guide with prompt tips is in the article Generate images with AI. All categories are in the full AI tools directory.

Background

What to know beforehand

How do you create an image with AI?

Here is how:

  1. Choose a generator: Decide whether you want a standalone tool in the browser or the image feature of an AI assistant.
  2. Write a prompt: Describe the subject, style, colors and format. The more specific the prompt, the closer the result to your vision.
  3. Review variants: Most generators produce several suggestions. You can refine individual results via prompt or upscale them.
  4. Check the license: Before you publish an image, read the provider's license terms. In many free plans, commercial use is excluded.

The full guide with prompt examples is in the article Generate images with AI. Tips for better results are in Write better prompts.

Can you use your own photo as a starting point?

Yes, some AI image generators support image-to-image: you upload a photo and describe via prompt what the AI should change, such as the background, the style or individual objects. Depending on the provider, the feature is called image-to-image, inpainting or edit.

This overlaps with the AI image editing category. There you will find tools specialized in retouching existing images (background removal, upscaling, denoising). Both categories are separate in the directory.

Can you use AI images commercially?

That depends on the provider and plan. In free versions, commercial use is excluded or restricted according to the terms of service of most providers. Paid plans typically grant usage rights, but the exact terms differ by provider.

Since the EU AI Act, AI-generated images must be labeled as such in certain contexts. An overview is in the article EU AI Act explained. The license terms of individual generators are compared in the best-of list AI image generators.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about AI image generators

Can ChatGPT create images for free?

Yes, ChatGPT includes its own image generator called "ChatGPT Images 2.5" (as of October 2026, according to the provider). In the free plan, image generation is available with limitations. From the paid plan onward (from 8 EUR a month) the allowance increases. The best-of list AI image generators compares the free plans.

Are there free AI image generators without sign-up?

ChatGPT allows image generation without sign-up via its web interface (as of October 2026, according to the provider). Most specialized image generators such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly and Canva require an account. The "no sign-up" filter in the directory shows all tools where this value is maintained.

Which app is good for creating AI images on a phone?

Several image generators have iOS and Android apps, including Adobe Firefly, Canva, Leonardo.Ai, Recraft and Nano Banana in the Gemini app (as of October 2026, according to the providers). You can filter by platform in the directory. A recommendation by use case is in the best-of list AI image generators.

Can an AI create images in German?

Most AI image generators understand German prompts because the underlying language models are trained in multiple languages. A German-language user interface is offered by Adobe Firefly, Canva and Nano Banana in the Gemini app, among others, according to the providers (as of October 2026). The "German" filter in the directory shows all corresponding tools.

Can AI image generators be used in compliance with GDPR?

There is no blanket answer. The key factors are the provider's headquarters and server location, whether a data processing agreement (DPA) is available and whether uploaded images are used for training. Some generators display generated images in a public gallery. You can find these details, where documented by the provider, in each tool's directory entry.
