15 Open-source Free Offline-first AI Art Generation Tools and Apps , alternative to to DALL-E and MidJourny
AI Art Generation: The Ultimate Guide for Creators and Developers
AI art generation refers to the use of artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning models, to create visual artwork. These systems analyze patterns in vast datasets of existing images and use algorithms to generate new art based on textual prompts, artistic styles, or user-defined parameters.
Tools like DALL-E, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and others have become prominent players in this space.
In this list, you will find the best open-source text-to-image AI art generation tools that serve as reliable alternatives to commercial solutions.
1- DiffusionBee
While DiffusionBee is a free macOS-only app, it works on all Macs, including both Intel and M-series processors. However, in my opinion, the older version was a bit fancier and offered better creative artistic styles than the current one.
That said, the new version supports more models, includes additional artistic tools, and performs even faster on M-series processors.

2- Macaw-LLM
Macaw-LLM is an open-source exciting project exploring multi-modal language modeling, bringing together images 🖼️, videos 📹, audio 🎵, and text 📝 into one seamless system.
It is built on the powerful foundations of CLIP, Whisper, and LLaMA, it aims to revolutionize how we integrate and interact with diverse types of data for richer experiences.
However, it required some tech skills to install, configure and run, so it is not for everyone.
Features
- Simple & Fast Alignment: Macaw-LLM enables seamless integration of multi-modal data through simple and fast alignment to LLM embeddings. This efficient process ensures quick adaptation of diverse data types.
- One-Stage Instruction Fine-Tuning: Our model streamlines the adaptation process through one-stage instruction fine-tuning, promoting a more efficient learning experience.
- New Multi-modal Instruction Dataset: We create a new multi-modal instruction dataset that covers diverse instructional tasks leveraging image and video modalities, which facilitates future work on multi-modal LLMs.
lyuchenyang3- Open WebUI
Open WebUI is a feature-rich solution that serves as an alternative to ChatGPT and DALL-E. It supports several LLM models out of the box and enables users to generate high-quality, detailed images and art from simple text prompts.
Beyond that, it can be installed as a self-hosted web app and supports multiple users, making it ideal for teams, agencies, and companies that need their own private ChatGPT alternative.
4- DiffusionGPT: LLM-Driven Text-to-Image Generation System
Diffusion-GPT leverages Large Language Models (LLM) to offer a unified generation system capable of seamlessly accommodating various types of prompts and integrating domain-expert models.
The project is a result of a research paper which comes without enough documentation, but i was able to clone it, and run it seamlessly on my machine.
5- Text2Art
Text2Art is an AI art generator using VQGAN + CLIP and CLIPDrawer models. It creates diverse art styles from text input, with customizable dimensions, delivered via email in minutes.
6- Dream Factory
This open-source projects offers a Multi-threaded GUI manager for mass creation of AI-generated art with support for multiple GPUs.
However, it requires Nvidia GPU, with large VRAM to generate 512x512 images.
rbbrdckybk7- Local AI Generation
Generated by the same developer of Dream Factory, but with less features and more detailed setup.
