Artbreeder takes a distinctive approach to AI art by focusing on iteration and evolution rather than text prompts. You start with existing images or upload your own, then use sliders to adjust "genes" like color, style, composition, and specific features. By "breeding" two images together, you create offspring that blend characteristics of both parents. This makes Artbreeder particularly powerful for creating character portraits, landscapes, and album covers through gradual refinement. The platform is built on collaboration—all images are remixable unless creators opt out, fostering a culture of collective creativity. The newer Artbreeder Collager tool lets you build images from simple shapes that AI then renders. It's ideal for exploring variations and discovering unexpected combinations through experimentation.
