Craiyon (formerly DALL-E mini) made headlines as one of the first accessible AI image generators that anyone could use for free. While the image quality doesn't match premium services, Craiyon's strength is complete accessibility—unlimited free generations without signing up, no credit systems, and no paywalls. It generates nine image variations per prompt, letting you choose the best result. The images have a distinctive aesthetic that's become recognizable across social media. Craiyon offers a paid tier for faster generation, higher resolution, and ad removal, but the free tier is genuinely unlimited. It's perfect for casual experimentation, meme creation, quick mockups, and anyone who wants to try AI image generation without commitment or cost.
