4 Image/Icon Generating AI Tools for Designers: I tried them all and here are the Pros and cons

We have to admit, a new era of AI has come. AI tools are becoming so accessible and will eventually be part of our daily work. As designers, we have to adapt to the trend and use these fantastic tools to empower us.

Today I will introduce 4 AI tools for generating images/icons. First things first, some of them are still at the early stage and not that ideal. But hopefully in the near future, they will get better.

My prompt was “A moon rabbit and a tree that links all the way to the sky in traditional Chinese painting style”. I absolutely love Pic 2 and 4!! How about you?
