Artbreeder

Key facts: Artbreeder lets you blend and evolve images, adjusting genes such as style, colour and features to create new art from existing images. It is built around a community: images are shared, remixed and evolved by other users, and it is popular for character portraits, landscapes and concept art. It runs in the browser.

Plans: A free tier lets you create and explore images with limits, and paid plans add more credits, higher resolution and private modes. Check the official pricing page for current limits.

Best for: Artists and hobbyists who enjoy evolving images collaboratively. Who should skip it: anyone who needs a single prompt to produce a finished, photorealistic image.

Pros

Watch out for
