My Top AI Art Tools
Below are the tools I mentioned. There’s some brief information for each tool and a link. However, I did base this post off a video I created
You can watch the video here on YouTube if you prefer
However, I didn’t mention specifically in the video, if you are looking for an AI Art platform to use.
I touch on some below, but otherwise, here are my top AI Art platforms:
- Midjourney – Produces the most aesthetic images most easily, but less features than below.
- Leonardo AI – A more complete suit of AI Tools with excellent image quality
- Open Art AI – Much like Leonardo Ai above but with even more tools, quality of images not quite as good as Leonardo (in my opinion)
- Dzine AI – A full AI image suit with a comprehensive Image / design editor attached.
- Kittl – An AI Platform aimed at designers, especially in the Print on demand niche.
Otherwise, let’s get into it!
Picsi Face Swapper
This does exactly as described, allows you to change the face on an image by uploading a source face, and atarget image. It will then use AI to make the swap!
AI Clothes Swapper
This platform has a few tools for face-swapping. Similar to above, but it has a really useful clothes swapper, you can simply prompt for the clothes you’d like to see and the AI will swap it over!
Seamless Tile Checker & Image Creator
A simple tool for testing seamless tiling whilst also offering output of a tiled image you can use to create large patterns. Great with any Stable Diffusion or Midjourney Tile function.
Adobe Express

AI Art Styles Video Playlist
Every couple of weeks I release a video showcasing a number of style phrases you can use in AI Art platforms, with the images I use being made in Midjourney. I also display the exact prompt I used, always with default Midjourney settings.

Topaz Gigapixel
Next Level AI Image Upscaling
I swear by this tool. Take small images made with AI Art platforms (or even just photos) and use AI to make them much larger whilst regenerating detail so you get a genuinely high resolution image.
Watch a full Gigapixel Tutorial
Or read this blog post for an in-depth look at Topaz Gigapixel
This is a premium tool, but worth every penny:
Upscayl
A Free AI Upscaler
This free upscaler isn’t as powerful as Topaz Gigapixel, but does an amazing job for free tool. Does crash sometimes but is great for the budget conscious.
IMI Prompt
Ai Art Prompt Builder
This was made for Midjourney V5.2, so it seems outdated but is still a powerful way to discover new styles and build a custom prompt within a very handy interface. Useful for all AI Art platforms.
Vectorizer AI
The AI Image to Vector tool out there
Drag and Drop Image tools can save a tonne of time. Most do a terrible job but Vectorizer really nails it, but is a premium tool.
Need a Free alternative? try the Adobe SVG Converter – but it is a bit messy by comparison.
Adobe Illustrator Vector Tools
AI Vector Graphic Generator
Adobe Illustrator is the most comprehensive and powerful Vector Art program in existence today. It now has the ability to generate complete vector graphics using AI with a basic prompt and some simple settings.

Adobe Photoshop
The Ultimate Photo Editor with AI Art tools – Full Tutorial Playlist here
In my opinion, Photoshop is one of the greatest programs to ever exist for creatives. You can create art entirely from scratch or edit your Ai Art, even combined and photoshop several image for next level results.
But Photoshop also has powerful AI Tools, like Generative fill and several neural filters to clean skin, change facial expression or completely restyle images.
If you want to create the best images possible, learn Photoshop to adjust and enhance your images.
Photoshop has the vast majority of the tools in this blog post included as part of it’s in app options.

Midjourney Comprehensive Course

I built this course to help people compeletly master Midjourney and take more control over their AI Art. You can watch a few initial lessons for free.
I share my best information here!
Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive list—especially appreciate the breakdown of platforms like Midjourney, Leonardo AI, and Dzine AI. It’s helpful to see the nuances in what each offers, especially for someone like me who’s still figuring out which tools best fit their workflow. The face and clothes swappers also caught my attention as great additions for refining and personalizing AI-generated art.
