1. Midjourney

My favorite so far. Midjourney generates high-quality images and has tons of features to offer.

Midjourney generates 4 images from a text entry. Among these 4 images, you can choose to enlarge one of them or to obtain variations. When you enlarge an image, you get the same image, bigger and with a better resolution.
