Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know to get started.
What is AI Illustration Generator?
AI Illustration Generator creates original illustrations from text descriptions. Describe any scene, character, or concept and choose an illustration style. AI generates the artwork in seconds.
What illustration styles are available?
You can choose from Digital Painting, Watercolor, Storybook, Flat / Vector, Fantasy, Ink, Anime, Gouache, Retro / Vintage, and Line Art. Each applies a distinct visual treatment and artistic aesthetic.
What aspect ratio works best for illustrations?
Landscape ratios (4:3 or 16:9) work best for scenes and environments. Portrait ratios (2:3 or 9:16) suit character art and vertical compositions. Square (1:1) is ideal for social media and profile artwork.
How do I write a good illustration prompt?
Describe the subject, setting, mood, and lighting in detail. For example: "a fox sitting on a mossy log in an enchanted forest, morning mist, golden light" gives the AI much more to work with than just "a fox in a forest".

What is the difference between AI Illustration Generator and AI Text to Image?
