Ilus AI
PaidIlus AI: Consistent, CC0‑licensed AI illustrations and characters—pay as you go.
About Ilus AI
Ilus AI is a pay-as-you-go AI illustration generator designed for professionals seeking stylistically consistent visuals without recurring subscriptions. The platform offers text-to-image generation using fine-tuned models pre-trained on CC0-licensed artwork, supporting styles such as flat, ink drawing, doodle, and custom. Users can also train their own models by uploading 10–20 example images to create a consistent character or illustration style. The tool provides SVG and PNG export, image editing capabilities (eraser, background removal, upscaling), and a credit-based payment system where credits never expire. Generated images are private for paying users, while free trial credits produce non-private images. Ilus AI is particularly suited for designers, founders, and marketers who need fast, brand-ready illustrations for landing pages, pitches, blogs, ads, and more. All outputs are released under a CC0 license, granting full commercial use rights.
