Midjourney

The gold standard in AI art, photorealism, illustration, and everything between.

Midjourney is the most popular AI image generation platform, known for producing the highest-quality artistic and photorealistic images in the industry. With over 21 million users generating 2.5 million images daily, it has become the default tool for creative teams, marketing departments, and content studios. Midjourney excels at stylistic versatility, from photojournalism and product photography to fantasy illustration and architectural visualization. PxlPeak helps businesses integrate Midjourney into their creative workflows with prompt libraries, style guides, and production pipelines.

OpenAI Image Generation (formerly DALL-E)

DALL-E is retired, gpt-image-2 is OpenAI's image generator now, built right into ChatGPT.

DALL-E was OpenAI's original image generation line, and it is now retired: the dall-e-2 and dall-e-3 API models were shut down on 2026-05-12. Its successor is gpt-image-2, OpenAI's current image model, alongside gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-1, and gpt-image-1-mini, available within ChatGPT and via the OpenAI Image API with per-token pricing rather than the old per-image pricing. The strengths that made DALL-E popular carry forward: following complex prompts accurately, rendering readable text within images, and iterating conversationally inside ChatGPT. PxlPeak integrates OpenAI image generation into content production workflows via the API for automated image generation at scale, and migrates legacy DALL-E pipelines to gpt-image-2.

Stable Diffusion

Open-source image AI, maximum control, zero per-image cost.

Stable Diffusion is the leading open-source image generation model, offering unlimited, free image generation when self-hosted. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, Stable Diffusion gives businesses complete control over the model, data, and outputs, including the ability to fine-tune on proprietary datasets for brand-specific or industry-specific image generation. It powers thousands of applications, from product photography and fashion design to medical imaging and game development. PxlPeak deploys self-hosted Stable Diffusion instances, fine-tunes models on client data, and builds production-grade image generation pipelines.

Flux

The photorealism king: 12 billion parameters of visual fidelity.

Flux by Black Forest Labs (the original creators of Stable Diffusion) is a 12-billion parameter image generation model that produces the most photorealistic AI-generated images available. Built by the team that pioneered latent diffusion, Flux represents the cutting edge of image quality, particularly for human faces, hands, and complex scenes that trip up other models. Available through APIs (Replicate, fal.ai, Together) and as an open-source model for self-hosting, Flux is the top choice for businesses that need images indistinguishable from photographs. PxlPeak deploys Flux for clients where photorealism is the priority.
