2. Are there any free AI text to image generators? 

There are some AI image generators that have free versions. If you are simply experimenting with the AI, or using it for your own personal use, a free version likely will do.

On the other hand, if you are using the AI for a business purpose, the free version may not provide all the features that you are looking for. 

Some examples of image generators that have free versions are starryai and Dream by Wombo. Both of these also have mobile apps, so you can create images right from your phone. Bing Image Creator is also free, but you can only create a certain number of images per week before you need to start paying. 

DALL-E can be tried for free, but paid for eventually as well as DeepAI which has different payment options.

While a lot of the popular, more mainstream software comes at various costs, there are free versions of software available if you want to try before you buy. 

3. How to convert text to image using AI? 

The basics of converting text to image using AI are pretty simple. First, you’ll type a description of what you want the image to be into the software. Then, in just a few seconds, you’ll be provided with a series of images (hopefully) depicting what you wrote. 

You can then go in and edit what you want to make the image exactly what you were looking for. 

The key to this is to make sure you provide a clear and detailed prompt for the AI to use, or else you will most likely not get the image you are looking for.
