_In today's technologically advanced world, artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable strides, enabling it to perform tasks that were once considered impossible. One such fascinating application is the generation of images using AI._ 

‍

This article will walk you through the process of creating images with AI and highlight how Eden AI leverages the best Image generation APIs to provide a comprehensive solution.

‍

## **What is Image Generation?**
Also known as text-to-image generation, image generation refers to the intriguing process of creating new visual content using powerful algorithms. This technique entails teaching AI models, specifically Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), to generate lifelike images that closely match real-world views.

Unlike traditional approaches that involve manually making photos, AI-driven image generation uses deep learning to generate new and unique visuals on its own.
