Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
How exactly does the AI image generation work?
Short answer: We use Pollinations.ai, a free text-to-image API that runs AI models like Flux and Stable Diffusion. You describe what you want in natural language, and the AI creates a unique image. No API key or payment is needed.
Where do the stock photos come from?
Honestly? Stock photos are sourced from Unsplash, a free library of millions of high-resolution photos contributed by a global community of photographers.
Can I really use the generated images commercially?
Great question. Images generated by Pollinations.ai are free to use for any purpose. However, we recommend checking the specific license of the selected model for any restrictions.
