Radiant Canvas

Local image generation without credit packs

A free AI image generator for Mac

Radiant Canvas includes the complete core workflow for free: choose any of thirteen model options, compare the same prompt, generate square images, keep a private Gallery, and create without buying generation credits.

What the free version includes

The free app includes all seven model families, four square image sizes, the generation queue, recent prompt history, image metadata, optional watermarks, completion notifications, and the local Gallery. The model files are downloaded separately to your Mac.

No per-image charge

Your Mac performs the generation, so there is no token balance or credit pack to refill. You can keep creating with an installed model without paying for each result or signing in to a Radiant Canvas account.

When PRO makes sense

PRO is optional and adds 4:3, 9:16, and 16:9 formats, manual model controls, Krea 2 Fast mode, custom LoRA and LoKr adapters, ML Enhance, and PNG export. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime options unlock the same features.

The free version is enough to learn the app and make finished square images. You can try every supported model rather than being limited to a small demo model. There is no daily image count. The practical limits are the storage, memory, time, and electricity used by your own Mac.

Start with one model instead of downloading every option at once. FLUX.2 Klein has the smallest download, so it is a reasonable first choice when drive space matters. You can remove a model later and install a different one without deleting the images already saved in Gallery.

PRO is for people who need non-square formats or more control over the generation. It is not required to keep using the basic app. Try the free workflow first and look at the listed differences before paying. The monthly, yearly, and lifetime choices change the payment method, not the set of PRO features.
