Which AI art tool should I start with?

For most beginners, we recommend:

• ChatGPT Images if you already use ChatGPT - it’s the easiest to use, and it works on the free plan
• Midjourney if you want consistently artistic results with minimal learning curve
• Stable Diffusion if you have a capable GPU and want free, unlimited generation

Each tool has strengths: ChatGPT Images excels at text in images, Midjourney at artistic styles, and Stable Diffusion at customization and control.
