The free [Amazing AI](https://sindresorhus.com/amazing-ai) app makes images from a description with Stable Diffusion. It runs on your iPhone, also without the internet. Image Playground, the built-in app, uses Apple servers. Amazing AI needs an iPhone 15 Pro or later.

## With Amazing AI

1. Install [Amazing AI](https://sindresorhus.com/amazing-ai).
1. In “Prompt”, describe the image in detail, like “photo of a white unicorn in a forest at sunrise, high-quality”.
1. Tap the send key on the keyboard. Keep the app open while it works. The first image takes a long time, as iOS must prepare the AI model one time.
1. Touch and hold an image that you want to keep, and choose “Save to Photos” or “Save to Files”. The app does not keep the images.

The prompts and the images stay on your iPhone. Amazing AI uses Stable Diffusion 1.5, an older model that needs a detailed prompt, so write the subject, the style, and the light, not only “a unicorn”.

- To leave something out of the image, write `##` after the prompt, and then what to leave out, like “photo of a cake, high-quality ## strawberry, out of frame”.
- Generate several images of the same prompt, and keep the best one. The results are different each time.
- On a Mac, [Imago](https://sindresorhus.com/guides/generate-ai-images-offline-mac) makes much better images with a newer model.

## Without an app

The Image Playground app of iOS makes images from a description. Choose a style, or choose “Any Style” and write the style in the description. It needs an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, which is iPhone 15 Pro or later. Apple says that Image Playground uses server models with a daily limit, and the ChatGPT styles send your description to ChatGPT. So it is not for images that must be made offline.

Image Playground makes better images, when your iPhone is online. Amazing AI is for images that must be made on your iPhone, also without the internet.
