How long does AI image generation take?

AI image generation takes anywhere between a few seconds and a few minutes. This depends on:

  • The AI model used
  • The hardware of the user’s computer
  • The AI’s server/platform load at the moment
  • The user prompt and level of detail
  • The image resolution requested

For example, QuillBot’s free AI image generator usually takes a few seconds to generate an image. However, when doing more creative things with the tool, it may take a little bit longer.
