In plain English

This repository is a curated collection of resources about AI image generation, maintained by a creator who has been working in the AI art space since late 2022. The README is written primarily in Chinese and includes an English-language version as well. Its purpose is to help more people learn how to create images using AI tools, particularly ones based on Stable Diffusion. The collection covers several categories of resources. There are lists of platforms where you can generate AI images, both international services like Midjourney, DALL-E 2, and DreamStudio, and platforms accessible from China. Each platform entry notes whether it is free, requires credits, or has other access conditions. The list spans simple web tools as well as Google Colab notebooks you can run yourself. Beyond the platform list, the repository includes tutorials and guides for specific tools and techniques. These cover AnimateDiff, which is used for generating short AI videos and animations, SDXL Turbo, which generates images very quickly, Stable Cascade, Flux.1 (an image generator from Black Forest Labs), and Stable Diffusion Video. Each section explains what the tool does and links to tutorial resources or workflow setups. The README also documents the author's own AI products built over time, including an AI image generation service and a QR code generation tool that uses AI styling. There are sections covering recent news and technique breakdowns, such as a method for improving image quality with Stable Diffusion and ways to embed text visually into AI-generated artwork. The repository is updated periodically as new tools and techniques emerge in the AI image generation space.
