JAKARTA - Text-based image makers who use artificial intelligence are increasingly popular and easily accessible every day. While visiting websites to produce the desired images is easy to do, the use of open source text-based image makers gives you more control over the manufacturing process.

There are dozens of free open-source AI-based image makers on the internet that specialize in certain types of images. So, we have filtered and found the best open-source AI-based image makers that you can try now.

Craiyon: The image maker is based on DALL-E Mini and is easily accessible through its official website. Although the official Github repository has not been updated since June 2022, the latest model is still available for free on the Craiyon site. Free users are limited to nine images in one minute. There are subscriptions to get the feature without ads, faster, and options to keep the image private.

Stable Diffusion 1.5: One of the most popular open source text-based image generation models. It's easy to install even for beginners and runs well with a GPU of at least 4GB. There are various versions (checkpoints) to use.

DreamShaper: A Stable Diffusion-based image generation model that focuses on photorealistics. More capable than Stable Diffusion with greater control over final results.

InvokeAI: Generation of Stable Diffusion based images with a focus on making visuals based on intellectual properties. Offering additional controls but requires more stringent hardware requirements.

Openjourney: Stable Diffusion-based image generation models trained on Midjourney images and can mimic these styles in the resulting images.

Users can access some of these models online or download them to run locally. There are also subscription options for additional features such as no ads, faster access, and additional image credit.

These are some of the best options for users who want to try AI text-based image generation technology for free and open sources.
