Guide to selecting and using Text to Image AI models

Get the most out of our Text to Image tool with a guide on selecting and using AI models. Learn about model categories and how to navigate them.

Note:

The availability of models depends on the tool you are using. AI Generator offers the widest selection. AI Canvas and Image Editor allow access to a limited number of models that work with pipelines available in those tools, i.e., outpainting or inpainting.

Model availability in AI Generator

AI Generator is divided into Essential and Advanced modes. The essential mode uses Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 [schnell] as the default model, with the option to switch to our own fine-tuned styles.

Note:

Read our article explaining what is FLUX.1 to learn more about this cutting-edge model.

getimg.ai's models include:

  • Artistic V2;

  • Photorealism V2;

  • Anime V2.

AI Generator's Advanced mode offers a full spectrum of 60+ Stable Diffusion AI models, which are categorized into 6 groups.

What are the model categories in AI Generator's Advanced mode?

We divided our models into six categories based on the purpose and results that each model produces:

  • General / Art: the main category for universal models capable of generating anything;

  • Photorealism: models best for creating lifelike photos and photorealistic art;

  • Styles: includes all models that are generating images in specific styles, like Van Gogh or Disney;

  • Anime: providing the best set of anime AI models;

  • Design: where you can find models for architects and designers;

  • DreamBooth: this is the place for all your Dreambooth models.

There's also an "All" tab that shows every model, regardless of its main use cases, and a "Favourite" tab. A search bar on the right lets you easily find what you're looking for.

Choosing a suitable model is an essential step in your creative process. Each model was trained to serve a specific purpose, and the categories above may not cover all use cases for each model, so sometimes, it's a matter of experimenting.

Model selection in Essential mode

Selecting a model in AI Generator's Essential Mode is simple and intuitive. By default, you'll be using the FLUX.1 model. If you want to access our fine-tuned styles:

  1. Head to AI Generator and click the model selection dropdown.

  2. Choose "getimg.ai" from the list.

  3. Click the selection dropdown in the bottom right corner of the prompt box to adjust the style (Anime V2, Artistic V2, etc.).

Select the style that best fits your creative goals, and it will be immediately ready to use. You can then go ahead and write your prompt and adjust different parameters, such as the seed and batch size.

Model selection in Advanced mode

Advanced AI Generator offers a wider choice of community-trained models.

In the model selection dropdown, you'll first see a few of the most popular options and your "Favourite" models. If you'd like to use one of them, just click on it.

To open the full list of 60+ available models, click on the "More" option. There, you can navigate between different categories and use the search function. Click on your chosen model to select it.

Most models on getimg.ai are open-source and community-trained. We credit the authors of each model. When hovering over the model preview, you can find the name and the URL there. Please take the time to support them.

Managing your favorite models

If you hover your mouse over a given model in the "More" view, you will see a "heart" on the top left. When you click on the "heart" icon, it will turn red, and the model will be automatically added to the Favourite tab and the initial model dropdown list.

It allows you to jump to the models you frequently use quickly. If you want to remove a model from your favorites, just hover over it and click the "heart" icon again.
