What is an AI art generator?

An AI art generator creates original artwork from text descriptions. It uses machine learning models trained on millions of images to understand artistic styles, composition, color theory, and visual elements, then generates new images based on your input. Simply provide a text prompt like "futuristic cityscape in cyberpunk style" and select a style, and the AI generates unique visuals tailored to your request. This is great for:


  • Designers who need concept art or visual inspiration quickly.

  • Marketers creating eye-catching graphics for campaigns and social media.

  • Content creators looking for unique visuals without stock photo limitations.

  • Hobbyists exploring artistic styles without needing technical skills.


Wixel's free AI art generator offers a range of styles from oil painting to pixel art. Once you've created your artwork, you can incorporate it into other Wixel designs like personalized invitations using the birthday invitation maker, wedding invitation maker and more, to create memorable moments.

Can I use the AI art generator for free?

Yes. Wixel's AI art generator is free to use. You can generate artwork from text prompts for free until your credits run out. If you run out of credits and want to keep creating, you can upgrade to Wixel pro. Wixel has a variety of tools which you can use for free using a limited amount of credits, such as AI image generator, AI image extender and more.

What's the best way to prompt the AI art generator?

The best prompts are specific, descriptive, and include details about subject,  mood, lighting, and composition. The more context you give, the closer the result will match your vision. Follow this checklist to write effective prompts:


  1. Describe what you want to see (e.g., "a golden retriever," "a mountain landscape," "a futuristic robot").

  2. Use words like "serene," "dramatic," "vibrant," "moody," "ethereal," or "energetic" to set the tone.

  3. Mention the type of lighting you’re envisioning, like "golden hour," "soft studio lighting," "neon glow," "foggy atmosphere," or "high contrast shadows."

  4. Guide the framing with "close-up portrait," "wide-angle view," "centered composition," or "dynamic angle."

  5. Give color direction like "warm tones," "cool blues and purples," "black and white," or "vibrant colors."


Example prompt: "A mystical forest at sunset in watercolor style, soft lighting, serene mood, warm tones with purple and orange hues."

Avoid vague prompts like "nice picture" or "something cool". These give the AI too little direction. If your first result isn't quite right, tweak one element at a time and regenerate. Once you've created artwork you love, take your vision even further with Wixel’s editing tools. For example, you can replace the image’s background with new scenery, solid colors and more with our background changer or use the image resizer for Instagram to adapt the image for the platform.

Which AI art generator delivers the best artistic results?

The best AI art generator balances speed, style variety, creative control, and output quality. Wixel’s free AI art generator interprets your prompts fast, offers a wide range of styles while leaving you creative freedom and control. Once you've generated your art, Wixel's tools allow you to keep perfecting it for your project. You can change color of image to ensure visual harmony with existing visuals, add text to photo to turn your generated artwork into engaging social media posts and more.

How does AI create art from text or ideas?

Wixel's free AI art generator analyzes your text prompt and translates it into visual elements. When you type a description like "sunset over mountains in watercolor style," our AI breaks down your prompt into components like subject (mountains), setting (sunset), and style (watercolor). Then, it generates an image that matches those criteria. The more specific your prompt, the closer the result matches your vision. Details about lighting, color palette, mood, and composition help the AI understand exactly what you're imagining. If your first result isn't quite right, simply click the "enhance prompt" button in the editor to let the AI suggest improvements for even better results. Once you're happy with your AI-generated art, keep making the artwork uniquely yours using Wixel’s editing tools. Try our photo filters  to adjust mood and tone or even combine multiple effects to create custom styles.

Can users explore different art styles with the AI art generator?

Yes, Wixel's AI art generator offers various art styles so you can match the aesthetic of any project, brand, or personal preference. Popular art styles available include:


  • Oil painting : rich textures and brushstrokes that mimic traditional canvas art with depth and warmth.

  • Pop art: bold colors, graphic shapes, and high-contrast visuals inspired by contemporary culture and advertising.

  • Digital art: clean, modern illustrations with crisp lines and polished finishes perfect for branding and web design.

  • B&W drawing: classic pencil or ink-style sketches with hand-drawn charm and timeless simplicity.

  • Watercolor: soft, flowing colors with a light, airy feel and delicate translucent washes.

  • Pixel art: retro, grid-based graphics with nostalgic 8-bit and 16-bit video game aesthetics.


Explore which style fits your vision by generating one piece, then switching styles. This flexibility makes the AI art generator ideal for designers testing concepts, marketers exploring visual directions, and creatives who want variety without starting from scratch. Once you've settled on a style, bring your artwork into other Wixel tools. Use the transparent background maker to prep art for overlays, or incorporate your artwork as is when using the invitation maker to create a memorable invite.

Can AI-generated art be used in branding and creative projects?

Yes. AI-generated art is great for branding, marketing, social media, websites, print materials, and personal projects. It's a fast, cost-effective way to create unique visuals that reflect your personality without hiring an illustrator or licensing stock imagery. Because Wixel's free AI online art generator produces high-resolution files, your artwork will look sharp in print and various screen sizes. If you’re working on a new brand, you can also generate a logo using the AI logo generator and create cohesive social media posts using our free social media templates.

What makes AI-generated artwork unique compared with traditional digital art?

AI-generated artwork offers speed, accessibility, and creative exploration that traditional digital art doesn’t. Our free AI art generator is unique because it helps you:


  • Generate finished artwork in seconds instead of hours or days.

  • Create what you’re envisioning without drawing skills, software expertise, or expensive tools.

  • Test styles, compositions, and concepts freely until you find exactly what’s right.

  • Get inspired by AI’s surprising results based on your prompts.

Once you're finished, simply click download and select your preferred format—PNG, JPG, or WEBP are available for free.
