Welcome to the definitive source for selecting the best automatic photo-creation tool. We’ve completed another comprehensive research project to identify all automatic photo-creation solutions that can automatically create a brand new, photo-realistic image that has never existed before. One class of these tools is known as StyleGAN generation tools.
We are not including automatic image editors. We’ve only included tools that automatically generate images using machine learning or artificial intelligence, especially tools that will accept words or other inputs as parameters so users can affect the outcome of the image generation.
The field of automatic photo creation has grown quickly since the formation of generative adversarial networks (GANs). It pays to spend some time researching the most optimum automatic photo-creation tool for your application.
If you are also interested in image ranking tools, check out: 43 Image Ranking Tools Compared.
We reached out to a cohort of industry experts to get some initial feedback on what features are most important in an automatic photo-creation tool. We’ve ranked the top ten tools in our research according to their responses. This top ten list is continually updated as we get more feedback. But we highly suggest you participate in our custom automatic photo creation survey so you can layer in your own importance prioritization for each feature:
Top Ten
Automatic Photo Creation Tools
as of April 2021
Note: If we mark a specific solution as not having a particular feature, that only means we did not see that feature advertised in their public marketing content. We focus almost exclusively on publicly verifiable facts in our research.
Our analysts have done comprehensive research on 32 automatic photo-creation tools. They collected over 460 data points and more than 250 feature points. We put together a scatter plot that ranks each automatic photo-creation solution based on two dimensions: Automatic Photo-Creation Tool Feature Strength and Automatic Photo-Creation Tool Business Strength.
Automatic Photo-Creation Tool Feature Strength is a number that was calculated by looking at how many features each tool had, and the relative, subjective importance of each feature. You may want to reach out to us to layer in your own feature importance scoring before deciding on a solution.
Likewise, Automatic Photo-Creation Tool Business Strength is a number that was derived from certain business-related qualities of each company, and our own (subjective) scoring of the importance of those qualities. There too, you’ll want to give your own importance rating to derive your own, custom scatter plot:
Of special importance is the field titled, Top Five Other Automatic Photo-Creation Tools with Most Similar Features, in Order. For each tool, we looked at the feature sets of competitors to come up with their top closest competitors from a data-driven, feature-focused perspective.

We want this research report to be mobile-friendly, so we’ve nested five different methods of ranking these automatic photo-creation tools. Click on each to expand the ordered list:
