OpenArt is a consumer AI creation platform for generating and editing images and video, building consistent AI characters, and producing multi-scene visual stories. Rather than one proprietary model, it routes across many engines — Stable Diffusion, FLUX, DALL-E, and thousands of community-trained models — and adds LoRA training, canvas editing, and a model-and-prompt marketplace. It began as one of the largest community hubs for Stable Diffusion.

Pros & cons

  • Access to many models in one place
  • Community model + prompt marketplace
  • LoRA training and character consistency
  • Generous free tier
  • Web-only
  • Quality varies by chosen model
  • Credit-based limits on free tier
