In this post, I will introduce you to a free tool that you can easily use to create text-to-image prompts that you can use to generate beautiful images like the one above. We will try it out on different text-to-image AI apps in this post.

Crafting text-to-image prompts can be exciting sometimes and tedious at other times. It gets quite challenging to come up with good prompts when you want to generate a good image. Thankfully, there is a tool that can give you a head start with prompt generation.

AI Prompt Generator

The tool is AI Prompt Generator, a web application with a simple interface. Nevertheless, it is powerful in its text-to-image prompt-generating capability, which is why we are talking about it, and it is super simple to use too. Sometimes functionality — getting the job done — is what really matters rather than super fancy aesthetics, don’t you think? 😃.

Now, when you visit the link, you will be greeted by a simple interface that looks like this

Prompt Generator interface

The way the tools works is that it takes a starting phrase and generates a prompt using that phrase. For example, you can give it a starting phrase like “A little cat on a fence” and then it could come up with a prompt like “A little cat on a fence, a storybook illustration by kiyohara tama, pixiv contest winner, magic borderlands 3, official art, 2d game art, concept art”.

You can then take the generated prompt and pass that directly to a text-to-image software like DALL-E to create an image or you could modify it further before giving it to a text-to-image AI. The tools comes with 3 example starting phrases

Starting phrase: Pixar style little girl

Prompt: Pixar style little girl smiling cute smug munchkin cats playing around in a room made of pink pink plants, golden hour, tristan eaton, victo ngai, artgerm, rhads, ross draws

Starting phrase: Landscape of

Prompt: Landscape of a Magical cozy house in a nice green forest with a chimney and garden outside, macro lens, highly detailed, digital painting, trending artstation, concept art, illustration, cinematic lighting, vibrant colors, photorealism, epic

Starting phrase: Racecar driving

Prompt: Race car driving on a deserted desert highway in a desert storm at night. lit lamps. space robots. drive on highway. digital render. beeple. noah bradley. cyril roland. ross tran. trending

After clicking any of the example starting phrases, then you can click on the “Generate Prompt” button to generate the kinds of prompts shown above.

If you are not satisfied with the generated prompt, simply click on the “Generate Prompt” button again to generate a new prompt. Also, you can tweak the generated prompt further if you want. The goal is to give you a head start when thinking of how to write your prompt.

To use your own phrase, simply type or paste it in the text box with the placeholder Enter phrase here, then press the “Generate Prompt” button to begin generating the prompt. A popup alert will let you know that the prompt is being generated. When it is done, copy the prompt and use it as you please.

Now, we will test out some prompts in different apps.
