Neural networks for image generation have advanced significantly in recent years, providing powerful tools for artists, designers, and researchers. Let’s take a look at some of the best neural networks available today.

Janus Pro (DeepSeek)

In January 2025, Chinese startup DeepSeek introduced an updated Janus Pro model that they claim outperforms OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion in image generation benchmarks. The Janus-Pro-7B model uses 72 million high-quality synthetic images balanced with real-world data to provide stable and detailed visual results.

DALL-E 3 (OpenAI)

DALL-E 3 is a powerful neural network from OpenAI capable of generating high-quality images from textual descriptions. It generates images with detailed textures, shadows and perspective, making it one of the most advanced in the field of visual generative models. DALL-E 3 is widely used to create unique illustrations and conceptual images.

MidJourney

MidJourney is popular among artists and designers for its ability to create atmospheric and abstract images. It handles creative tasks well, generating surreal and artistic works. MidJourney is widely used to create concept art and fantastic visuals.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is a text-based generative neural network focusing on the creation of high-quality, high-resolution images. Its algorithm is based on diffusion processes, which allows generating images with high detail and sharpness. Stable Diffusion is considered one of the most versatile models for image generation.

Artbreeder

Artbreeder is an online platform that uses generative networks to create and edit images. It allows users to blend and modify images in real time using parameters such as facial features, style and composition. Users can use it to create portraits, landscapes, fantasy creatures and more by combining existing images.

DeepDream (Google)

DeepDream is one of the first image generation neural networks developed by Google. It uses convolutional neural networks to create abstract images by amplifying and transforming patterns that the neural network recognizes in images. DeepDream is often used to create surreal and psychedelic visual effects.

Jasper Art

Jasper Art focuses on creating painterly landscapes and portraits based on input data. This artificial intelligence tool is able to create results with particular realism. Users can choose the style of famous artists and customize the generated images according to their needs.

Bing Image Creator

Bing Image Creator is an innovative and user-friendly DALL-E based tool that allows you to create unique and high quality images based on textual cues. The tool is available via Bing Chat and web browser, providing free access with a Microsoft account.

DreamStudio (Stability AI)

DreamStudio by Stability AI is an innovative platform for quickly creating realistic images. The tool allows for detailed enhancements, providing more attractive results. Users can choose from different styles and ready-made tips to speed up the process.

Craiyon

Craiyon is a neural network developed by Google and Hugging Face that allows users to enter text prompts to create multiple images at once. It has a user-friendly interface and does not require registration, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Each of these neural networks has unique features and benefits, allowing users to choose the most appropriate tool for their creative tasks.
