What Craiyon actually is

Previously DALL-E Mini, this text-to-image generator went viral in 2022 for producing recognisable but distorted results quickly and for free. It still runs without an account, returning a grid of images per prompt. Quality sits well behind current paid models, which is much of the charm.

Why it is worth your time

Those characteristic smeared faces became a meme format in their own right, and the model still reliably produces them on request.
