19 FREE AI Tools You Can Use Right Now!

Unlock Your Inner Superhero: A Deep Dive into FREE AI Tools of 2025

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, new tools are emerging every single day. While many come with a price tag, there are a surprising number of powerful AI tools that you can use for free, right now. As someone constantly seeking out the best free AI resources, I’m here to show you how to harness the power of AI to boost your creativity, productivity, and simply have fun. But a word of caution: the “free” status of some of these tools might not last forever, as companies often offer free trials to get users hooked before introducing charges. So, let’s explore them while they’re still accessible!

Creative Powerhouses: Image, Video, and Audio Generation

Many free AI tools can transform your creative projects:

ai media generators
  • Google’s AI Studio
    • This is a highly versatile tool that allows you to experiment with various Google AI models.
    • Code Generation: You can use its free AI code generation tool to create games, like an emoji fusion master game, an alien dodger game (similar to Frogger), or even clone existing apps like Feedley.
    • Text-to-Speech & Image Generation: It also supports text-to-speech and generating images.
    • Real-time Music Creation: You can create music in real-time.
    • Interactive Advice: A unique feature allows you to share your screen or webcam and have a conversation with the AI, receiving advice based on your shared content, such as YouTube analytics for channel growth.
  • Google’s Notebook LM
    • This tool is exceptional for diving deep into specific topics.
    • Information Upload: Upload documents, website URLs, or videos. Supported formats include PDFs, text files, markdown, MP3s, JPEGs, YouTube links, Google Drive files, or simply copy-pasted text.
    • Mind Maps & Podcasts: It can generate mind maps from your uploaded resources and, impressively, create a podcast summarizing the information you feed it. For example, learning about a new camera (Fujifilm X1006) could involve plugging in resources and listening to a 20-minute podcast generated by Notebook LM.
    • Chat Conversations & Source Citation: You can have chat conversations with all the uploaded information and ask detailed questions. The tool provides responses with specific sources, highlighting the exact section where the information was found.

    • Image Editing: You can edit generated images, similar to OpenAI tools, such as adding a baseball cap to a person in an image.
  • Thiings
    • A fun resource for AI-generated icons.
    • Vast Database: It offers icons for almost anything imaginable, from animals and vehicles (like DJI-looking drones) to people and objects.
    • Request Feature: If you can’t find a specific icon, you can request that they generate it for you .
    • Credit Cost: Generating your own icons costs credits, and there doesn’t appear to be a free allotment for this specific feature.
  • Whisk
    • Another free Google tool that excels at combining concepts into images.
    • Element Tweak: You can adjust the “subject” (upload an image of yourself), “scene” (e.g., space), and “style” (text, image, or random like anime or plushy).
    • Creative Blending: It mixes these three elements to create unique images, such as a plushy version of yourself or you in space in an anime style.
    • Presets: Fun presets like “sticker,” “enamel pen,” “plushy,” “card,” and “chocolate box” are available.
    • Animation: While there are animate buttons, this feature is believed to be available only on paid plans.
  • Glif
    • This is an AI workflow builder that lets you connect different AI tools to achieve specific outcomes, and you can share these “glifs” with others.
    • Explore & Create: You can explore glifs made by others, such as a YouTube thumbnail maker or a “Spiderverse” style generator.
    • Workflow Building: The real power is in building your own workflows using “glif blocks”. For example, you can take a text input (prompt), use a text generator (like GPT4) to improve the prompt and add details (e.g., brilliant colors, beautiful lighting, a wolf in the background), and then feed that improved prompt to an image generator (like Flux Pro version 1.1 ultra).
    • Daily Credits: Users get 10 free credits per day, which accumulate.
    • Versatile Workflows: Glif can be used for image generation, video generation, audio generation, converting images to text, audio to text, extracting JSON, creating HTML, and building complex Comfy UI workflows.
  • Eleven Labs
    • Widely considered one of the best audio generators, particularly for text-to-audio.
    • Free Plan Capabilities: On the free plan, you can use their text-to-speech generator with a wide variety of voices (e.g., Alice, Arya, Bill, Brian).
    • Voice Changer: Upload an audio file and change your voice to a selected one.
    • Sound Effects: Generate sound effects, such as a car crashing through a glass window, with multiple versions to choose from. Many features are available for free, though some may require payment after extensive credit usage.
  • Suno
    • An AI tool dedicated to creating AI-generated music, producing some of the best available.
    • Free Plan Version: The free plan gives you access to version 3.5, which is still quite good, though not the absolute latest model.
    • Music Generation: Simply describe the type of song you want (e.g., “a pop punk anthem about subscribing to Matt Wolf on YouTube”), and Suno will generate options.
