Show HN: PicNow – realtime AI image generator

Hey everyone,

I’ve built a new tool called PicNow that generates AI images in less than 1 second, and you can create up to 4 images simultaneously. That’s about 20x faster than OpenAI’s image tools—and the quality is still amazing. It even handles text in images really well, which is often a pain point with other generators.

Why does speed matter?

When image generation is instant, a new creative process emerges. No more waiting 20 seconds; you can generate, see results, and iterate in real-time, staying in the creative flow.

You can use this tool as a first step for more advanced image processing, or sometimes the results are already perfect as they are.

I would love your feedback or any ideas on how to make it even better.
