Rendered by this tool from the fields shown below.
The AI Illustration Generator is for images that are meant to be drawn rather than photographed: the spot illustration beside an article, the picture-book spread, the onboarding screen, the poster for a school play. Describe the scene, choose a style, set the aspect ratio for the layout it is going into, and render a finished piece with a clear focal point, one light source and a cohesive palette. It is used for blog headers, product onboarding, book interiors, school and church materials, greeting cards and any social post that should look designed rather than photographed.
The eight illustration styles each have a home. Editorial gives conceptual, textured shapes with a sophisticated palette and a visual metaphor, the way magazine art directors like it. Children's book brings warm characters and soft brushwork. Flat vector is clean geometry with solid fills for product and tech. Isometric arranges tidy miniatures on a 30-degree grid. Ink is dip-pen line and crosshatching, watercolor is translucent washes, risograph overprints two or three grainy spot colours, and mid-century channels 1950s stylised figures in mustard, teal and coral. Pick the style by destination rather than taste: a tech company's changelog wants flat vector, a children's charity wants picture-book warmth, a culture magazine wants editorial wit, and a coffee brand might want risograph grain.
Write the scene like a caption — who is doing what, where, with what feeling — rather than a list of adjectives. The generator handles composition and texture. Because you can set the aspect ratio here, a header illustration at 3:1 and a square social version can come from the same prompt. Send results to Image Variations for alternatives, to Reframe to extend a scene, or to Edit With Words to change a character's coat from red to yellow. The examples under this description open the canvas with a scene already written, which is the quickest way to see how the eight styles differ on the same subject.

Questions about this tool
- What makes this different from the AI Image Generator?
- The prompt is wrapped in illustration-specific direction — a clear focal point, one light source, a cohesive palette, no text — and the style list is built from illustration traditions rather than fine-art or photographic looks.
- Can I keep the same character across several illustrations?
- Consistency improves when you describe the character the same way every time (hair, outfit, one prop) and keep the style fixed. For a front and three-quarter view sheet, use the AI Character Designer first, then reuse that description here.
- Which style suits a website or app?
- Flat vector and isometric are the workhorses for product marketing; editorial works for blog headers and thought-leadership pieces; risograph and mid-century give a brand a distinctive, slightly retro voice.
- Can it produce a series for a children's book?
- Yes — pick children's book style, keep the character description identical across prompts and change only the scene. Render at 3:2 or 2:3 to match your page size and upscale the finals for print.
- Is AI Illustration Generator free?
- New accounts start with 4 free credits — enough for one Standard render of AI Illustration Generator — without adding a card. After that, credits come from a monthly plan or a one-time pack.
