What is Ilus AI?
Ilus AI is an illustration generator built to keep every image in the same visual style. You choose one of the ready-made styles, such as Flat, Doodle or Ink Drawing, type a description of the scene and receive an illustration that matches the others made in that style. If none of the presets fits a brand, a custom style can be trained by uploading 10 to 20 example images, which is also the suggested way to keep a recurring character consistent. Results export as PNG, and the Flat, Ink Drawing, Doodle and custom styles also export as SVG. Built-in tools handle erasing, background removal, upscaling and edits. Access is sold as one-off credit purchases with no subscription, and credits do not expire. The preset styles were trained on CC0 artwork and generated images carry the same license. The site is created and maintained by a single developer.
