Question 1

What is an AI image generator?

Accepted Answer

An AI image generator is a model that synthesises images from text prompts, reference images, or sketches. The category spans foundation-model playgrounds, fine-tuned style platforms, and motion-capable hybrids that produce stills and short video clips from the same prompt interface.

Question 2

How much do AI image generators cost?

Accepted Answer

Solo plans run £8–18 per month for a few hundred renders. Team tiers with commercial licensing and faster compute land between £25–70 per seat. Studio and enterprise tiers with priority GPUs and brand-asset libraries reach £80–250 per seat per month.

Question 3

Which AI image generator is best for product photography?

Accepted Answer

Pick a platform with strong reference-image and image-to-image control, native upscaling, and clear commercial licensing. Pure text-to-image tools struggle with consistent product likeness across an asset set — reference control is the technical differentiator for product photography workflows.

Question 4

Are AI-generated images copyright-free?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the platform licence and your jurisdiction. Most paid plans grant commercial-use rights but exclude trademarked content, real-person likenesses without consent, and outputs that closely copy training-data styles. Always read the licence before shipping any output to advertising channels.

Question 5

AI images versus stock photography — which is better?

Accepted Answer

AI wins on speed, customisation, and per-asset cost at volume. Stock photography still wins on legal clarity, editorial use cases, and shots requiring genuine human presence. Most marketing teams now blend both rather than choosing one approach exclusively.

Question 6

Do free AI image generators include commercial use rights?

Accepted Answer

Rarely on free tiers. Most restrict commercial use, cap resolution, or require attribution on free outputs. Paid plans unlock higher resolutions, commercial-use licensing, faster compute, and reference-control tooling — all of which matter the moment outputs leave your hard drive for client or ad use.
