Images made by mixing other images
Artbreeder works by crossing and nudging images rather than by writing a prompt and hoping, which suits character and portrait work where you want the next version to be nearly the last one. Splicer mixes two pictures, Collager builds from rough shapes you place yourself. Credits meter the fast rendering, and the slower free path stays open when they run out.
Our note
This is the rare image tool where the interface is the product and the model is incidental, so judge it on whether the mixing metaphor suits how you work. If it does, nothing else feels like it; if it does not, no amount of credits will help.
Photo editing and AI generation in one app
Picsart grew up as a phone editor and kept that, which means the whole thing works with a thumb on a train rather than needing a desk. Background removal, retouching and the current generation models all sit in the same subscription. Everything is metered in credits, and the heavier image models empty a month's allowance faster than you would expect.
