Will Craiyon’s text-to-image AI always be free?
We hope so! Paying members also help us continue researching text to image model technology, generative AI, developing, and building new AI models to ensure your Craiyon experience only gets better and better. For our free AI art creators, ads help pay for our AI models behind the scenes.
Can you make images of higher quality?
Yes! Our Pro models generate much better images, with significantly more detail and sharpness. To use them, you’ll need a subscription. Both our Pro and Lite models continue to improve every day, so image quality will keep getting better over time.
What is the "Exclude elements" section of the interface?
It lets you tell Craiyon what you'd like to avoid in your image. Just type in concepts like "people", "low contrast", or "blue", and the model will try to leave them out of the final result.
What do I do if I get the message "too much traffic?"
If you’re struggling to generate AI art with Craiyon, wait a little and try pressing the draw button again. You may need to try a few times to generate ai images. We’re increasing our server count as quickly as we can so everyone can generate their images.
If you have a subscription, you will have priority over other users and skip the line!

What if my images don’t appear?
We recommend trying a different browser first (ideally Google Chrome), or going incognito. Clearing your cache might also do the trick. If not, try using a different phone or computer. You should also try to disable your VPN.
If you still have issues, let us know through an email at team@cr
LOLaiyon.com or reach out on
Discord and we'll look into it.
How does the AI model work?
The model learns concepts from images. Each time you enter a prompt, it will create unique images based on its current knowledge and will try to combine the concepts from your prompt in a creative way. You can find more details about our first model in our
W&B Project Report or the
DALL·E mini model card.
Are there biases or limitations in AI generated art?
Yes, seeing as it learns through existing images, it is exposed to societal prejudices and harmful stereotypes so can integrate these into its images. Limitations and bias in AI are still being researched and we're working actively on this subject. You can learn more in the
DALL·E mini model card.
Can I use the images generated through Craiyon?
Yes, as long as you respect the
Terms of Use, feel free to use them as you wish for personal, academic or commercial use!Please credit craiyon.com for the images if you are a free subscriber.
Is there a Craiyon app?
Not at the moment but we plan to develop one in the future.
⚠️ WARNING: If you find a Craiyon AI drawing generator app on Google Play or the App Store, it’s not us! There are more copycats out there than we can count, but the real Craiyon doesn’t have an app just yet. If we do, you’ll be the first to know!
