What it is

Craiyon is a web-based tool for generating images from text descriptions, including photos, art, logos, anime, posters, and coloring pages. Users can choose an image style and shape or leave either on Auto, and an Exclude option lets them specify elements to leave out. Prompts can be written in languages other than English. Users can also provide reference images and edit images.

A gallery supports browsing themed images, viewing their prompts, and creating versions; keyword search and similar-image discovery provide additional ways to find images. Text-only generation does not use credits, while retouching, photo input, reference images, upscaling, SVG conversion, and video do. Unused monthly credits do not roll over. Commercial use is included. Free-plan images are public to anyone with their link; paid plans allow private images. The Free plan is listed at free and includes limited generation, a watermark, and possible waits at busy times. Support is available by email and through Discord. Craiyon says its system may reflect societal biases in its training data.
