Picogen

Picogen | AI Image generation API is a comprehensive AI image generation platform designed as a high-quality alternative to Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E. It offers quick setup (under 5 minutes), scalable API access, and a suite of image tools including text-to-image generation, image merging, upscaling to 8K, and background removal. The service emphasizes fast rendering (under 3 seconds for generation) and professional-grade output suitable for marketing, design, and creative projects.
