Generate AI Images from Text
Photobun's AI image generator turns a written prompt into a picture using OpenAI's image models, the technology behind image generation in ChatGPT, and places the result on a board in the editor. From there you can remove the background, add text, combine it with your photos, resize it for any platform and export it.
How to Generate AI Images from Text
- Click Generate an image.
- Describe the picture: subject, style, setting, lighting and colours.
- Generate it; the result is placed on a board as a normal layer.
- Refine it with the editing tools and export as PNG, JPEG or WebP.
From prompt to layer
Generated images arrive as ordinary layers on a board, so every Photobun tool works on them immediately.
Fix what the AI gets wrong
Remove small artefacts with the Spot Healing Brush or Content-Aware Fill, correct colours with Curves, and replace garbled lettering with a real text layer.
Ready for posts and products
Combine a generated image with a template such as an Instagram post or a YouTube thumbnail, then add your logo and headline.
Game art pipeline
Generate characters or items, split them with the sprite sheet cutter and animate the parts with Sprite Rig.
Most AI image generators stop at the download button, but a generated picture usually needs work before it's usable: a cleaner background, the right aspect ratio, brand colours or a headline. Doing that in the same place saves downloading and re-uploading between websites.
Generated images make good starting points for social posts, blog headers, product mock-ups, presentation slides, stickers and game assets. For game art, ask for a character on a plain background with its parts drawn separately; that output works well with the sprite tools.
AI images can contain mistakes such as distorted hands or misspelled lettering. Treat them as drafts: heal small errors, replace any text with a proper text layer, and check the result before you publish it.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI model does Photobun use?
Photobun sends your prompt to OpenAI's image generation models, the same family used for images in ChatGPT. Photobun is an independent editor and is not affiliated with OpenAI.
Is the AI image generator free?
Photobun's editing tools are free. Each image is created on OpenAI's servers, which charge for usage, so the generator shows what is required before you create an image.
Are my prompts private?
Prompts are sent to OpenAI to create the image, so avoid including personal or confidential information. Your other images and documents stay on your device.
How do I write a good prompt?
Name the subject first, then the style (photo, watercolour, 3D render, pixel art), the setting, the lighting and the colours. Short, concrete descriptions usually beat long lists of adjectives.
