11 Best AI Art Generator Apps (iPhone + Android)

After I covered the best web-based AI art generators, in this post I share with you a collection of AI art generator apps that you can use on your mobile device to generate stunning artwork. All of these apps, from my own experience, are simple and easy to use. No technical knowledge is required.

The key to generate beautiful AI artwork is to provide expressive prompts. The clearer prompts you use the better art you generat. This is the case with all AI generators, good prompts are what make one's artwork standout from the rest.

You can use these AI art generators to generate paintings, drawings, sketches, and many more. Some of them offer avatar creation features allowing you to upload photos and turn them into avatars with a single click.

Also, depending on the app you select, some of these AI art generators support both text and image prompts. With the latter, you can upload an image or select one from the app's library and use it as a base to generate your own artwork.

As a teacher, you can use these AI art generators with students in class to design visuals and drawings to include in your instructional activities. Students will enjoy experimenting with the different artistic possibilities offered by the apps. 

From creating visuals to use in storytelling projects to designing posters and other educational materials, these AI art apps can help students unleash their creative gene.

These apps are not suitable for kids , so be mindful of this when using AI art generator apps with your students.
