Illustration Generator is an AI-powered text-to-image and image-to-image art maker that generates illustrations by providing text prompts or reference images. Here's a short tutorial to help you get the hang of this service.

Start by providing a prompt in this tab:


Illustration Generator understands non-English prompts, so you can use any language you like.

If you want your generated illustration to be more specific, you can also upload a reference or use a negative prompt:

Use images of people, animals, or objects on a simple background for better results. Check out Ouch and Moose for huge collections of illustrations and photos that you can use as reference images.

Switch between different styles to find the one that suits you best:


Choose the aspect ratio of your generated image here:

If you're using a reference image, the aspect ratio will be selected automatically based on your upload.

Make further changes by adjusting your prompt. Press the Remove Watermark button when the result is on point, and download the picture.


Upload your generated image to our online editing app Mega Creator and add some catchy details, stylish lettering, or background.

You can generate illustrations for free, but the resulting images will have watermarks. To remove watermarks, subscribe to a paid plan, which also includes a 30-day history and commercial use.

Currently, two subscription options are available: a Monthly Plan for $19 a month and a Yearly Plan for $190 a year. Both of them have the following features:

  • 1000 fast priority generations/month;

  • 25 no-watermark downloads per month (including those generated from reference images);

  • Instant background removal;

  • Private results (no publishing to the community);

  • 30-day history;

  • Commercial use.
