Playground AI
Playground AI is a versatile image generation platform that combines multiple AI models (DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion) with intuitive canvas-based editing tools, offering one of the most generous free tiers in the AI art space.
The free plan provides 50 images per day - enough for most family projects without ever needing to upgrade - plus the ability to edit, expand, and blend images directly in the browser-based canvas.
Unlike many competitors, Playground AI grants full commercial rights to your creations, meaning kids can use their AI art for YouTube thumbnails, school projects, or even selling on platforms like Etsy.
The platform includes built-in style filters that help achieve specific aesthetics (anime, photorealistic, illustration) without needing to master complex prompting techniques.
