The free AI image generator made for YouTube creators
Type a prompt, get a finished high-res image — thumbnails, channel art, concept stills, anything. 50 credits every month, no card, 7 top models in one browser tab.
What “free” actually means here
Leaxor's free AI image generator gives every account 50 credits per month, and each image costs exactly 1 credit — so the free tier is 50 finished, high-res images a month, on any of the 7 models. No credit card at signup. No trial countdown.
The credits refresh monthly. They aren't a one-time trial that flips to paid — the free tier stays free. And the images you make are the real, downloadable files: no watermark, no low-res “preview” that pushes you to pay to unlock the good version.
The honest trade-off: this isn't a no-account, infinite generator. You make a free email account so your credits, model choice, and past images stick around. In return, you get seven premium models behind one prompt box instead of a single watered-down free engine.
Seven models. One prompt box. One credit each.
Switch models with a click — every one costs the same single credit, so picking the best tool for the job never costs you extra.
Built for thumbnails and Shorts, not just square art
Four aspect ratios map to the surfaces faceless creators actually publish — plus six style presets to lock a look in one click.
YouTube thumbnails
Shorts, Reels & story art
Square social posts
Classic still frame
6 style presets
Pair any preset with any ratio on any model. Want a photoreal 16:9 thumbnail, then a 3D-render 9:16 Reel cover from the same idea? That's two clicks — and the same 9:16 stills feed straight into Shorts.
How it compares to Midjourney, DALL-E & “no-signup” tools
An honest look. Midjourney is stronger on painterly portraits; the no-signup tools win on zero-friction access. Here's where Leaxor fits.

When 50 free images a month stops being enough
The free tier is real and it's generous — 50 finished images a month covers most solo creators drafting a thumbnail per video. But if you're publishing daily, testing 3–4 thumbnail variants each time, or running several channels, you'll burn through 50 credits fast.
That's the only reason to upgrade: more monthly credits. No feature is locked behind a paywall — all 7 models, all 6 presets, all 4 ratios, and the no-watermark output are on the free tier too. Paid plans simply raise the ceiling.
Every image is still 1 credit, on every plan. See pricing and paid credit plans for the full breakdown.

Frequently asked questions
Is Leaxor really a free AI image generator?
Yes. Every account gets 50 credits per month with no credit card required at signup, and each image costs 1 credit on any model — so the free tier is 50 finished images a month, refreshing monthly. Unlike a trial, it doesn't expire and never auto-converts to paid. The honest catch: it isn't the 'no-account, infinite, instant' experience some no-signup tools advertise — you create a free email account so your images, model choice, and credits persist. In exchange you get 7 premium models in one place instead of one watered-down free model.
What can I make with the free 50 credits?
50 high-res images a month — YouTube thumbnails (16:9), Shorts/Reels/story art (9:16), square posts (1:1), classic stills (3:2), channel art, blog headers, concept art, anything you can describe. You pick from 6 style presets (Cinematic, Photoreal, 3D render, Anime, Illustration, Digital art) and 7 models. Each image is a finished, downloadable high-res still — not a watermarked preview.
Which AI image models does Leaxor include, and which is best for thumbnails?
Seven: Flux 2 Pro (the crisp, photoreal default), Nano Banana Pro Ultra (top overall quality), Seedream 4.5 (cinematic), Imagen 4 Ultra (Google-grade photoreal), Recraft v4 (illustration/vector), Ideogram v3 (the best pick when you need readable text baked into the image — ideal for thumbnail titles), and HiDream (fast and cheap). For YouTube thumbnails most creators reach for Flux 2 Pro or Nano Banana Pro Ultra for the visual, and Ideogram v3 when the thumbnail needs crisp on-image text.
How is this different from Midjourney or DALL-E?
Three ways. First, it's genuinely free to start — 50 images a month, no credit card, where Midjourney requires a paid plan. Second, there's no Discord and no prompt-channel ritual — it's instant, in-browser, where you already plan your videos. Third, it's built for creators: thumbnail (16:9) and vertical (9:16) ratios are first-class, and you get 7 models side by side instead of one engine, so you can switch from photoreal to vector to text-friendly without leaving the tab.
Do I need a credit card or subscription to generate images?
No. Signup is email + password, takes about 30 seconds, and 50 credits land as soon as you verify your email — no card, no plan required. Image generation is gated only by credits, never by a subscription. You only enter payment details if you actively choose to upgrade for more monthly credits.
Are the images mine to use on my channel?
Yes — the images you generate are yours to upload as thumbnails, post as Shorts/Reels art, or use across your faceless channel. There's no per-image fee beyond the 1 credit it costs to make, and free-tier images aren't watermarked previews — they're the finished file.
