Today I wanted to test Peakd's AI Image Content Creation - and make a comparison with other providers.
So, after a long time (I admit), I visited https://peakd.com/ai and I saw the icon below
What impressed me was:
- There is video generation, I had no idea
- There is also the possibility for creating free images and choosing from specific models (the charge for the paid models is also low)
You may choose from a variety of models, free or paid, as well as select what type of image you require
Today I will put to the test the image creation and the video creation, using a prompt that I may also use in social media
Tomorrow is April 1st, so I thought of creating a lovely spring photo
I created an AI prompt which is the below
An ultra close-up, macro shot of a crystal-clear swimming pool surface in soft spring light. The frame captures only the water, filling the entire composition with no visible surroundings. Gentle ripples move slowly across the surface, creating delicate reflections and a calming texture.
A single white daisy floats gracefully on the water, slightly off-center, with natural imperfections and subtle movement. Soft sun rays touch the surface, creating luminous highlights and faint shimmering patterns around the flower.
Lighting is airy and fresh, like early spring morning, with a clean, natural color palette of soft blues and whites. The focus is sharp on the daisy, with a shallow depth of field that softly blurs the surrounding water.
The mood is quiet, minimal, and elegant — evoking calm, renewal, and understated luxury. Ultra-realistic, cinematic macro photography, high detail, natural light, no distractions.
These are the first images created. I gave it only 2, so that I would not use many credits.
For my next effort, I will check out the paid model Nano Banana 2, with a charge of 0.080 HBD - I also slightly edited the image so that it will change to a birds eye view image
I got an error message
I am not sure if I will get a refund for these amounts that were spent without getting any image, I guess there maybe a malfunction, so it would be good if there was a message to warn the user.
These are the images created using Peakd - Ecency - Gemini - ChatGPT
| -Free PeakdD - | -Ecency- | -Gemini- | -ChatGPT- |
|---|---|---|---|
I think that all of them are good, it really depends on what you need and what is easier for the user
PeakD has a free version, In Ecency you need to pay 150 Points per image and the prompt can be up to 1000 characters, while Gemini, ChatGPT are limited in image creations
Please note that you can also edit an image in PeakD, using a reference image (but due to today's errors I did not put that to the test today)
Trying out the Video in Peakd
To create a video, you can choose the format, add a reference image if you want, and choose the number of seconds you want to create
I will choose VEO because I think it is better, and the cost was 1 HBD for 4 seconds without audio
For the purposes of this post I decided to create also the other video using 4 seconds of Prunaai P-Video

Overall I enjoyed the process and I will definitely do it again.
Next time I will try creating something more complex.
I think it is amazing that we can use our native currency (or points from ecency) to create AI creations and I look forward for the new agentic era.
Whether we want it or not, this is the future and we need to be prepared.
Closing with a gif from the VEO video (the other one was too large and compressing it made it lose much quality
You can also watch them here side by side

I think that you can also create with AI using inLeo - I can try this next.
Has any of you tried it out? Please share your feedback below and, hopefully this post was useful to you!
p.s. Tomorrow is Hive Power Up day, dont forget!
p.s2. If any PeakD member is reading this, will my money be refunded for not generated content?
