Is there any way or any instance of free image generation tools floating around the internet?

      absolutely this. I have been messing around with this for about a week now.

      super fun and easy to set up. I used this since I wanted a docker env.

      Prompt: sad monkey working at a computer desk, realistic, office setting Negative prompt: digital art, happy, smiling Steps: 20, Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras, CFG scale: 4, Seed: 509018188, Size: 512x512, Model hash: 4199bcdd14, Model: revAnimated_v122, Version: v1.3.0

      Time taken: 13.62s

      Torch active/reserved: 2214/2992 MiB, Sys VRAM: 4145/8192 MiB (50.6%)

      (side note, Does anyone know why I can’t upload pictures directly from web? getting SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data )

      edit: its because of size…

      This is the way. The really top-tier AI art is almost guaranteed to use this, most online tools and other frontends just don’t have the features. Also, here is a link to a fork of that with an improved UI (no other changes).

      Beefy can mean things to different people too. I have a mobile 1660ti and it can generate images in decent times (about 40seconds for a 20iteration image from prompt)

      I’m slightly lacking in VRAM though, something 8GB VRAM would allow you to use most models.

        Fun fact, it can be run on as low as 2gb vram! It works out of the box with the --lowvram parameter, and with some extra fiddling with extensions you can even generate high resolution stuff.

        yeah thats fair enough on the wordage.

        Im rocking a 3070 and 11th gen i7, but only 16gb of ram.

        still pretty quick imo

    Yes. Various, with various limitations.

    The simplest is Stable Horde/AI horde. Volunteers donate GPU time to the public. Please do not abuse this trust by overusing it without giving back! Great for quick experiments, though, since it requires no sign-up. Also includes a “get probable description from uploaded image” function, I’ve just noticed:

    https://aqualxx.github.io/stable-ui/about

    Personally, I’ve been playing around with leonardo.ai. It has a payment structure, but the free tier is very generous, in my opinion. You get 150 free daily token. Images cost between 1-4 token. It has a prompt generator, and you can even train your own model for free. There are also a lot of community models, since every model is set to public by default. You can even browse public images and directly copy all settings/prompts into the generator or use them for image-to-image stuff.

    The company is very much focussing on building an active community, which can be both good and bad. You are first put on a waiting list, but your account is automatically activated if you join the discord and write some comments. There are also constant community contests/challenges to earn more token.

    https://leonardo.ai/

    Edit: leonardo.ai techncally allows nsfw generations, but heavily discourages them. It has an automatic filter for any terms deemed nsfw. You may also not discuss how to circumvent that filter in the discord. (You may discuss how to bypass the filter to prompt safe for work images. E.g. you may discuss how to create Charles Dickens characters despite Dickens being filtered out.)

    Here are few more, but I haven’t tried any of them:

      Ah so the ol Scuthorpe problem.

        Exactly. Difference is, you may also create fully NSFW models or pictures, if you figure out how. There’s a topless woman in the top community creations right now. They just don’t seem to want straight up porn, and this makes it difficult enough to keep it from being flooded by that.

    Yes if you have a spare PC with a fairly recent nvidia GPU and decent internet speeds or a couple hours to spare for inital setup, you can selfhost InvokeAI. You can use stable diffusion with quite a few open models and its not complex to setup.

    Out of the available image generators, Stable Diffusion is the best but be prepared to mess around with it to get the best results. If you have an iPhone or Mac, Draw Things is a great way to get started. If you want to dive head first into stable diffusion and have good hardware with lots of VRAM then try Automatic1111 as others have suggested.

    I’ve been playing around with Dreamerland for the last week or so. The app itself has almost no embedded ads which makes for a clean and usable interface, but it forces you to watch an ad every time you hit “generate” which can get tedious.

      Thank you for this recommendation. I find this app enjoyable, but seems like I keep wasting my credits/tokens with trying to figure things out. I’m trying to learn to how use Lucky Patcher, if that would help bypass the credits / get unlimited credits. No luck so far, but I did manage to stop those ads that play during image generation. This might help you.
