The tool creates realistic photos and illustrations from a text description (how it works). It's open source, which led to enormous popularity. As a result, they have numerous user interfaces like web, iOS, macOS, Windows & Figma. There are specialized branches (e.g. for textures, 3D, photo editing). Fan projects blossom too (e.g. modernizing MS-DOS games or Fallout 2, making illustrative QR-codes). Established design tools implement it too (see Canva and Blender).

A simple design tool from Microsoft. It generates images with DALL-E 2 and mockup layouts by text prompt. How it works. They have several experimental tools like that (e.g. Bing Image Creator).

A Figma plugin by Jordan Singer. It generates icons, illustrations, and copy (authors promise more tools).

Graeme Fulton explores how photo stocks work with generated images. New products like Prompt Hero & GhostlyStock emerge, while classic companies are taking little steps: Shutterstock partners with DALL-E 2, Adobe Stock opened submissions with limitations (you can't copy an existing style).
