Craiyon

Craiyon, formerly known as DALL-E Mini, is one of the most accessible AI image generators available. It requires no account to use — just type a prompt and get results. The free tier generates images with a brief wait time, while the paid plans remove ads, speed up generation, and increase resolution. The image quality is lower than Midjourney or DALL-E 3, but Craiyon fills an important niche as a completely free, no-barrier-to-entry tool for casual image generation. It is popular for memes, quick concepts, and experimentation. Craiyon has improved significantly since its viral DALL-E Mini days. The output is cleaner, and the model handles text prompts more accurately. For professional work, you will want a higher-end tool, but for quick ideation and fun, Craiyon delivers without asking for a credit card.
