Lexica
Lexica lets you search a massive gallery of AI-generated art, inspect the prompts behind each image, and create new visuals with its Lexica Aperture model. The Generate workspace defaults to 960 by 1440 output, and every prompt submission spends four image credits before results appear.
Unlike general chat tools that bolt on image buttons, Lexica built its reputation as a prompt search engine first. You can reverse-engineer styles from existing images, then move into Aperture generation with fast and slow queues, custom aspect ratios, and optional image uploads. Starter and Pro images stay public in search; only the Max plan keeps generations private by default.
Artists, designers, marketers, and hobbyists use Lexica to explore visual ideas and produce commercial-ready assets under plan-specific licenses. Paid plans are required to generate images because Lexica does not offer a free tier, though subscribers can buy extra fast generations at $0.05 each when monthly limits run out.
