I Found The Best Midjourney Alternative And It's Free

I just found an alternative on mid-journey can you guess what it is as we all know mid journey is not free anymore and has moved to a paid subscription people are looking for an alternative a new AI image generator that can deliver the same results if not better I too was looking for an alternative to Mid journey and that's when I found Leonardo AI Leonardo AI is a free tool that allows us to generate stunning images just like mid Journey so in this video I will talk about Leonardo AI features how to generate images and what Leonardo AI is capable of what is Leonardo AI Leonardo AI is a free eye image generator that can create stunning images based on keywords or prompts given to it you don't have to purchase any plans or subscriptions as it is completely free to use and this is what Leonardo AI plan or subscription if you are curious or interested you can also see the yearly price and save 20 if you subscribe annually and this is the monthly price to access Leonardo AI click the launch app button in the top right corner enter your first name and email and click count me in this message will pop up but you don't have to join their Discord group just click launch app again and then click yes I'm whitelisted and you will be taken to the Leonardo AI dashboard scroll down and you can see the trending creations made in Leonardo AI as you can see they are all high quality and looks amazing click on any of the creations and you can see the prompts and other settings they use to generate that image you can also see other versions of the image such as alternate upscale HD smooth upscaled and even no background you can remove the background of the image you generate without having to do it manually on Photoshop or other software if you join the Discord group and go to the FAQ section you can see that you own the image you create and can use it however you want including commercially unlike mid Journey you can only use your generated image if you purchase a plan Leonardo uses a token based system and you will have 150 free tokens these tokens will be reduced each time you generate an image or access a feature such as upscaling or background removal these tokens reset every 24 hours meaning you will have another 150 tokens to use the next day and it's free to generate an image go to the AI image generator here this box is where we type the prompts that we want to generate an image from here you will see how many tokens will be used to generate an image and how many tokens remain here you can select what model you want to use to generate an image just click and you will see a drop down menu you can select here what type of model you want to use or go to select custom model and platform models scroll down and you can find different models to choose from I will go with Leonardo creative and you can see the creation that was used in this model to pick this model click generate this model keep in mind that different models have different token usage for example this model uses two tokens while Leonardo diffusion uses four tokens on the left side you find interesting options here is the number of images you want to generate the more you generate an image the more tokens will be used this is prompt magic if you turn on the prompt magic feature it will greatly improve how well Leonardo follows your prompts and comes up with creative ideas below that is high contrast which gives your image A moodier vibe and more Shadow but be careful as it can sometimes make the image too dark and this is the prompt magic string the strength of the prompt Magics effect on the output is determined by a number the higher the number the greater the effect it will have and the lower the number the weaker the effect it will have after this we have image Dimensions where you can set the resolution or aspect ratio of the image please note that each model is trained on specific dimensions for optimal results it is recommended to use the dimensions that the model is trained on next is the guidance scale which determines how much importance is given to your prompt the higher the guidance scale the more important the promptings and the more related the output will be conversely the lower the guidance scale the less important The Prompt is and the less related the output will be Leonardo recommends a guidance scale of around seven as setting it too high or too low can result in unwanted out it's an image degradation the next is Tyler which is useful for creating repeating textures or backgrounds it is particularly great for creating seamless patterns or backgrounds the final options are the image to image and image prompts we will try this feature later on the video now let's start generating images go to the box where you can enter your prompt in this example I will type A breathtaking mountain landscape with the sunset as the background I will use Leonardo diffusion and click 3 to generate three images then click generate after a few moments Leonardo AI created these stunning three images additionally there are buttons located below these include the download button the unzoom button the remove background button the creative upscale button to enhance the image the upscale image alternative button if the creative upscale is losing some details the HD smooth upscale button and the HD crisp upscale button let's try to generate another one I will enter the prompt a distinguished gentleman dressed in elegant 1800s attire standing against a vintage cityscape backdrop we'll use the same settings as before then click generate here are the three resulting images now let's attempt to upscale an image using the upscale image alternative option this will make the image smoother and clearer and here are the results this is the original image and this is the upscale image as you can see the upscaled image is much clearer and smoother let's use a different model click here and choose cute animal characters or click select custom model and platform models scroll down and choose cute animal characters click generate this model then I will type full body shot of a cute Beaver that looks like a character of zootopia and I disabled the high contrast then click generate and here are the results let's try another let's change this to a rabbit and hit generate and these are the results last one change this to a cat but let's pick two images to save some tokens and hit generate and there you go we have generated an image using this model now let's explore a feature called image to image image to image means Leonardo AI will create another picture that looks exactly like the one you uploaded simply click on it and upload an image for this example I have uploaded an image that we will use next I will enter the text prompt John Wick is pointing on both sides while smirking and change the model to Leonardo diffusion after that I will click generate as you can see the resulting image is the same as the one I uploaded from the background and the close however the resulting image appears squished because the uploaded image has a four to three aspect ratio while the output image has a one-to-one aspect ratio to resolve this let's change the aspect ratio to four to three and click generate again the image should now look better and match the aspect ratio of the uploaded image and the output image and there you go these are the results and now they look better without being squished now let's explore the image prompts feature image prompts will use the uploaded picture as inspiration to create a new and unique picture that looks different from the original I will upload this image of John Wick that I generated using Leonardo AI then I will adjust the image Dimensions to 10 24 by 1024 and enter the text prompt image of Thomas Shelby the fearless leader of the peaky blinders prepared for an epic gunfight after that I will click generate here are the results they drew inspiration from the uploaded picture and created a new and unique image that aligns with the prompt let's increase the imageway as this will make the resulting image more like the reference image that we uploaded then click generate again as you can see the resulting image now looks a little bit like the photo that we uploaded especially with the hair and background the next feature is going to blow your mind so go back and click on AI canvas then upload an image by clicking here you can upload an image from your computer previous generations or the community but for this example I will choose previous generations and select the one we generated earlier then click select to move the box and place it like this you need to position the box with a small picture inside for it to work next we will use the same prompt we used earlier to generate this picture now go here and change it to stable diffusion 2.1 you can also adjust the number of images in the image Dimensions which will change the size of the box then click generate as you can see it expands the image and you can choose different variations that merge well with your image the number of image variations will depend on the number of images you generate I will do the same for this part of the image additionally we can erase an object that we don't like just click on the Eraser tool and draw around the object you want to erase after that place the Box on top of it and adjust the image Dimensions as a larger box may not be necessary then click generate as you can see it erases the object and provides a variety of image options to choose from if you dislike any part of the image simply click draw mask and draw the area you want to change to erase a mask click erase and select mask only to remove the drawn mask once you're done place the box over the drawn mask and hit generate and there you go it changes the part you don't like and gives you different variations of images to choose from this is what it looked like before [Music] this is the result now we hope this video was useful tell us your thoughts in the comments don't forget to hit the like button subscribe and turn on
