Multimodal models like GPT-4o generate images alongside text conversations. Dedicated models like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion specialize in image quality and control.
Marketing materials, product mockups, social media content, concept art, UI/UX prototyping, and creative illustration — all possible with modern image generation AI.
Many models support inpainting, outpainting, and style transfer. Vision-capable multimodal models can also analyze and modify existing images based on text instructions.
Open-source models like Stable Diffusion and FLUX can be run locally for unlimited generation at zero per-image cost, with full control over outputs and fine-tuning.
