I got a mail some days ago in which stays that Pixlr launched they AI image generator. In this article I will share the results of my first test with this tool.
Pixlr AI image generator gives you 20 free credits, which is enough for 20 image generations. Every time you hit the Generate button, 4 images will be generated. It costs 4 credits (1 credit per image).
I used some basic prompts. These prompts were based on those written in the Pixlr newsletter. Of course, I changed them a bit to make the end result varied.
Image properties:
- Aspect ratio: 1:1
- Image dimensions: 1024 x 1024 pixels
- File format: .png
I used the default settings (No Style, No Color, No Lighting, No Composition) and I gave only the prompts below and after that I clicked the Generate button.
You can view the full size test images on my Facebook page.
Test #1 – Dragon on the cliff
Prompt: A dragon sits on a rock and overlooks a huge medieval city. Use deep greens and yellows for the scales and make sure the city below reflects the past.

Result: Beautiful, detailed, 2D painting style dragon, rich in colors. Maybe he needs some color adjustment. Drawing a dragon is not an easy task because of its complexity.
The last image needs some retouch (separate castle at the bottom right corner)
Test #2 – White Wolf
Prompt: A white wolf with shiny iridescent fur standing in a mystical moonlit forest with millions of tiny stars shining in the sky.

Result: interesting, dreamlike, mystical wolf images. A little too much purple and pink in the generated images imho. I would like it better with a bluer color scheme. My favorite is the second creation.
All wolves are four-legged and I did not use negative prompts.
Test #3 – Zombie silhoutte
Prompt: A silhouette of a zombie approaches the viewer on a full moon night in an eerie, fog-shrouded forest. Pale bluish color scheme.

Result: I like the color tone and the overall mood of the images. It was a good idea to describe the colors in the prompt. The second picture turned out to be scary enough. The last image has a strong, centered composition. Zombie eyes can be made more dramatic with a small brush in an image editing software.
Summary
Pixlr AI Image generator is a pretty interesting app with good image generation capabilities. The images can be customized prior to the generation with styles, color tones, lighting and composition. These customization techniques was not the topic of this article. I will test the custom features maybe later.
Tip: You have also the opportunity to post process the image. Just click on the paint bucket icon and then choose the AI Tools
from the left toolbar.
Note: All AI tools costs additional credits.
As I scrolled the gallery on the Pixlr site I noticed that many of the generated images have anomalies like humans with 6 fingers, not physically accurate electronic devices, unwanted objects or inaccuracy in texts. These are other areas where Pixlr can make further enhancements.
Notice: I don’t tested the negative prompt feature which maybe can solve some of this common problems.
