AI image generation is taking the world by storm, and creative platforms are jumping at the opportunity to add this technology to their interface. Picsart is no different.

With its AI Image Generator, you can now create images within seconds simply by typing in a prompt and letting the app do the work for you. Sounds too good to be true? Keep reading and we'll show you how.

What Is an AI Image?

In layman's terms, an AI image is an image created using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. The AI analyzes the text and runs it through a database to generate new images. Picsart's AI Image Generator works the same way.

Pro tip: if you want a higher-quality or ultra-realistic AI image, use the AI Enhance feature in Picsart's edit mode after you've selected the image. If you're unsure of how to do this, see our guide on how to improve image quality with Picsart's AI Enhance tool.
