OpenArt Photorealistic is OpenArt’s own AI text-to-image model that focuses on ultra-realistic images.
It’s built to create visuals that look as real as photos.
This tool is great for creating images of people, places, products, or anything you want to feel like it was captured, not generated.
Let’s see what it does!
How to use it
Head over to OpenArt, pick “Image”, choose “Openart Photorealistic”, and create an image.
Key features
- Produces lifelike photos that look super realistic.
- Fast and easy to use. Just type your idea and generate.
- Part of a full suite with inpainting, style blend, bulk create, and more.
Best use
- Perfect when you want a high-quality, realistic image right away.
- Great for product mockups, architectural scenes, portrait visuals, or any content that needs to feel real.
My results
OpenArt traditionally hosts other AI image generator models, but this one is their own model. I was excited to get my hands dirty with it.
As the first image, I created this: “A high-resolution portrait of a smiling woman standing in a modern kitchen with natural morning light, ultra-realistic detail.”
Here’s the result:
That looks so good. I mean, how can you tell if this is AI or not?
But let’s compare this with other realistic AI image generators.
For example, let’s create the same image with ChatGPT:
Okay, I think that’s just as good.
Let’s see what happens if we create a lot of faces at a distance. That’s usually when the AI starts to fall short.
I told ChatGPT to create an image of “A huge crowd cheering for an artist, image from stage, daytime gig.”
Here’s the result:
There, you can see that only the people in the front row look somewhat realistic. The further away we move from the camera, the more unrealistic the people look like.
Let’s see if this is the same for OpenArt Photorealistic.
Oh snap, I couldn’t create an image like that. In fact, I even tried a more complicated prompt, but the AI just didn’t follow my instructions.
It clearly doesn’t understand the prompts that well and it can be very hard to create any controllable outputs with this model.
Finally, I was able to do so with a different prompt:
As you can see, even those that are a bit further away from the camera appear natural-looking.
The quirks only start to show with the people furthest away from the camera.
But this one is definitely more realistic than what you could create with ChatGPT.
Don’t forget that in OpenArt, you can use the inpainting features. This allows you to modify/add/remove objects from your images by painting the area.
For example, here I’ve told the AI to colorize the kitchen cabinets red.
However, that didn’t change much, as the cabinets are still nearly identical to what they were to begin with. Only the handles changed in shape…
Even though this AI image generator was able to create super-realistic-looking images, it’s not the best when it comes to prompt control.
You might need to repeat things to it a million times, and it still completely misses the mark.
