DreamUp

DreamUp is DeviantArt's first-party AI image generator, woven directly into the art community rather than bolted on as a standalone web app. You describe what you want in a text prompt, choose a visual style such as anime, 3D, or cinematic, and fine-tune with aspect ratio, prompt strength, and negative prompt controls before generating up to four images in one pass. Generations are saved to your DreamUp workspace and Studio, so you can revisit them, create variations seeded from a favorite result, or publish one as a deviation without leaving the platform.

The feature that distinguishes DreamUp from the crowded field of standalone generators is its approach to artist consent. Rather than treating style mimicry as a free-for-all, DeviantArt lets artists decide whether AI images may be generated in their style, gives them credit when their style is used as inspiration, and provides a form for opting out. If you reference a named artist in a prompt, you are required to tag that artist when you publish the result, and violations can lead to deletion or suspension.

Pricing follows DeviantArt's membership model: anyone can try DreamUp free with a limited weekly prompt allowance, while paying Core members get a much larger monthly prompt budget. Under the hood the generator is based on third-party Stable Diffusion technology, and DeviantArt is explicit about its content rules: no pornographic, hateful, violent, or public-figure-sexualized imagery, and no personal information in generations.
