AI-generated images can range from fundamental horrors pulled from a Lovecraft tale to creations that force us to look several times to spot their flaws. The main challenge for users is separating the wheat from the chaff, and the StockCake portal points in that direction, offering access to a large number of generated images, all free and in the public domain.
Any user can go to Bing's image generator, ask Google Gemini for creations with a prompt, or enter dedicated platforms like Leonardo.ai. There are also more advanced options at the level of Civitai, which has a wide list of available models (although sooner or later it will be necessary to buy tokens), and those who have some firepower in equipment can always follow the route of Auto1111 or ComfyUI.
However, there is another possibility: that the desired image has already been generated. In that case, the whole process is reduced to locating it in an image bank, and one of the most interesting is StockCake. It focuses entirely on free images generated with artificial intelligence, has a good interface, and everything that appears there was shared in the public domain.
StockCake: Free Generated Images in the Public Domain
Currently, StockCake has a limited number of general categories, but the most effective thing is to take advantage of its internal search engine. This enables access to a much more interesting number of subcategories, which refer to specific elements in the images. Once we find something interesting, StockCake enables a download button, and the prompt used to generate the image, so it is possible to experiment with other models using that same combination of expressions.
An important detail is that StockCake does not intend to be a replacement for traditional stock photography. From the start it reports that its images are generated, and that in many cases they have errors, therefore, the user must study each result closely before downloading. Link below!
