Open AI Playground — AI artwork example
Start from a prompt

Create AI art from words

An art prompt works best when it explains what you want to see. Start with the subject, then add a medium such as watercolor, the mood, and a few details about light or composition. Try 'a mountain cabin at sunrise, watercolor, warm pink sky' as a starting point and make it your own.

  • Shape the result with your own prompt

Generate AI art from a photo

Use a reference photo or sketch as a starting point with a model that accepts source images. Describe what to keep and the artistic changes you want, such as a new palette or illustrated background. A generated result may change details, so review it before sharing.

  • Build on a photo you already have
