Overview

ArtSmart generates images from text and provides the editing tools around them: a playground for iteration, upscaling, inpainting, outpainting, and Tunes for training custom avatar models.

Having inpainting and outpainting in the same place as generation is what makes it usable rather than merely fun. Generated images are almost never right first time, and the useful next step is normally local – fix one hand, extend the canvas to fit a banner, replace one element. Without those tools you regenerate the whole image and lose everything that already worked, which is the single most frustrating loop in AI image work.

Custom model training extends it to consistent characters and personal likenesses. The standard obligations apply: train only on images you own or have permission for, and confirm commercial licensing terms before using output in paid work.
