Turn words or photos into AI art or videos using NightCafe. No skills needed just pick a model and let the magic happen. Access popular image and video tools, take part in competitions.
Overview
Started by Angus Russell in 2019 in a spare room in Sydney this thing blew up. His wife Elle came on board a year later and now they’re running it out of Cairns Australia.
You pick a model like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E 3 punch in a text prompt and bam you’ve got a piece. Want to tweak a photo? Try style transfer. Want to fix just one area? Use inpainting. Want your still image to move? You can animate it into a short video. And you own what you make.
People using NightCafe don’t just post their art and bounce. You can join challenges like or comment on stuff and earn more credits while doing it. Feels more like a club than just an art generator. Published creations are shown on the Explore page for other users to discover. Get likes, comments and followers; and earn credits by being part of the community.
This thing started with one person in a spare room. Now over 35 million artworks later it’s helping anyone get that creative hit.
