There used to be a time when offline tools for image editing, and creation be used like Adobe, Gimp etc. But then came AI and people started using online AI tools. The online tools are great, but they are often paid, require us to upload our data like images, videos what we need to do as they take time processing. There is also paid plans including limited monthly credits, even for free plans limited.
But for people who are in Ecommerce, selling online, need to generate product images showcasing their products online. Also some POD sellers that need to promote their content and products using mockups, audios, generated image and more. Sometimes, they want privacy, and dont want to upload images to internet. To solve the issue, we are going to share about one such Product; Creative Fabrica Studio Desktop. AI Studio Desktop is a Windows/Mac based Desktop Application that can be installed to access few Free offline models directly.
Creative Fabrica Studio Desktop
As we mentioned before, Creative Fabrica Studio is a Windows or MacOS based Desktop app, that allows you to access free offline AI models. With Free Local AI models, you can generate images, upscale images, remove background and then also create text to speech. These all things can help with a person who want to create multiple images daily without a limit. Let’s talk about the features.
There are 4 Free AI Models available for use. You dont need any credit card to use, you just need to sign up on the Desktop app and download models. Lets discuss the models available.
1. Free AI Image Generator
This is the one of the best features provided as free AI model offline. Before you start you need to have a model downloaded locally which is around 3.6 GB in size. Once its downloaded, you can generate images by writing prompts in the prompt window. Below you can see a sample image.
The Image generation I tried and my first experience if I share is not expected to have this much quality. if you see I generated 3 Images, in which the flower and the vase are great assets ready to use for projects. The Air pod seems to be not that good, but I think if we gave a better optimized prompt, then we can get better results.
You can also check Prompts below for the sample images, if you want to experiment with it.
Wireless Earbuds
Wireless earbuds charging case placed on a floating acrylic platform with soft blue and white studio lighting, futuristic premium product advertisement, clean reflections, minimal luxury background, photorealistic, high-end commercial product photography, blank branding area, 8K.
Home Decor Vase
Minimal ceramic vase with dried pampas grass on a Scandinavian wooden shelf, bright modern living room, natural sunlight, elegant home decor advertisement, soft shadows, neutral colors, ultra realistic interior photography, magazine quality, commercial product showcase.
Each creation takes around 30 sec to 70secs, sometimes more. But as its free you can easily generate multiple Images offline for your products or any Content Creation. As there is no Credits, you can generate Unlimited 720p quality images, which are more than enough for your needs. But there is always option to use paid one which consumes credits. We have written a review before, checkout at link below.

2. AI Image Upscaler
This free model is a complementary model to the previous model as it can Upscale by improving the quality of images. By combining this free model as small as 30MB you can improve your images quality. Let say you have a phone that clicks low-quality images, or maybe for some reason you have low-quality pics and you want to improve them. Then this tool is perfect as you can do unlimited Upscale operations easily locally.
Same as previous model, there is paid credit-based model as well for paid features, but I believe this free model will not have you need to upgrade for most of the daily work can be done with this. Maybe try upscaling your old 80-90s images.
3. Free AI Background Remover Online
We all know how difficult it is to remove background with legacy image editing tools, some will say easy but the people who really need this feature, don’t know actually how to. So, this is targeted for those users such as the E Commerce Sellers or POD, for example a Coffee Mug. For posting Coffee mug pics, they can click photo anywhere and just use this to remove the background to post it as product thumbnails on the Ecommerce sites.
There is one offline model around 200MB can be downloaded to use completely offline. If you want more features, then you can always select online model which is credit based. But I feel most of the work can be done with the free tool anways.
Vintage Flower prompt
Vintage floral watercolor illustration with pink roses and green leaves on white background, printable artwork for sublimation and print-on-demand, soft pastel colors, hand-painted style, highly detailed composition.
Below is a sample of the usage of this tool. We used the same image which is generated from the previous AI model for image generation available offline. You can see, it worked great, but some place it also removed the flower leaves itself
4. Free Text to Speech
The last free tool available complements the content creation with image generation. Let’s say you have product images ready, but now you want to promote it on Reels and short video platforms. You are shy or your voice is bad, or for some reason you can’t record your own voice, then you can use the free Text to Speech converter.
In just few minutes you can great voice from your provided text easily. Currently with free model, you only get one female voice, which can do the ork for free. But if you upgrade, you can have multiple voices and emotions. But I say, give the free one a try first.
