Lexica - AI Image Search and Generation
Visit Tool →
Lexica Brief Overview
Lexica is a web-based AI image platform built around two core ideas: (1) exploring a large public library of AI-generated images and (2) generating your own images using Lexica’s image model called Aperture. It’s commonly used for creative inspiration, prompt discovery, and fast image creation for things like thumbnails, concept art, product mockups, and visual styles you can iterate on.
A big part of Lexica’s value is that you can click into an image and see the details behind it (the prompt and key generation settings). That makes it easier to learn what wording and settings create specific looks—then reuse or remix those ideas for your own projects.
Simple How-to-Use
- Go to Lexica.art and use the search experience to browse images and styles.
- Open an image you like to view the prompt and generation details.
- Copy the prompt (or copy the image URL) to reuse it as a starting point.
- Open the prompt in the editor and rewrite it to match your subject, style, or brand needs.
- Adjust settings such as model version, dimensions/aspect ratio, and (when available) things like guidance or negative prompts.
- Generate and iterate: refine your prompt until you get a result you like, then download or save it to your workflow.
- Use History to revisit previous generations and Likes to bookmark styles you want to reuse.
Key Features and Functions
- Prompt-based image discovery: Browse images and learn from prompts and settings used to create them.
- Prompt utilities on image pages: Options like copying the prompt, copying the URL, opening in the editor, and exploring similar styles.
- Aperture image generation: Lexica’s Aperture model is designed for creating high-quality, photorealistic images.
- Core generation controls: Model selection (where available), dimensions/aspect ratio options, and support for negative prompts and guidance settings on certain prompt pages.
- Workflow organization: Built-in History and Likes pages for keeping track of generations and saved inspiration.
- Developer access (Search API): Lexica provides a Search API that returns image results (including prompts and metadata) and also supports reverse image search via an image URL.
