AI design tools

• Adobe Express

  Adobe's quick design app for social posts, flyers, images and video, with generative AI.

  • Free / Premium / Teams Depends

  What you generate with Adobe Express's AI is your Content under Adobe's terms, so you can use it commercially. The catch is stock: Adobe Stock assets under the Express Limited License can't be the reason someone buys your mug, poster or T-shirt, and some third-party search content is personal use only.

• Canva AI (Magic Media)

  AI image tools inside Canva, including the Magic Media text-to-image generator.

  • Free / Pro Yes

  You own Canva AI output and may use it for any lawful purpose, except output that edits or includes Canva library content, which stays under Canva's content licence.

• Kittl

  AI design platform for merch and branding, with templates, mockups and AI generators.

  • Free No
  • Pro / Expert Depends
  • Max Yes

  Kittl's Free plan is personal, non-commercial only. Pro and Expert give you ownership of your AI images and allow merch and client work, but each design is capped at 500,000 printed copies or viewers. Max has no cap. Kittl's own templates and fonts can't be resold as stock.

• Photoroom

  AI photo editor for product photos: backgrounds, scenes and marketplace-ready listings.

  • Free No
  • Pro / Max / Ultra / Enterprise (paid) Yes

  Photoroom's free accounts are licensed for personal, non-commercial use only. Paid subscriptions (Pro, Max and up) are licensed for your own business purposes, and you own the content you put through it, so product photos for your shop are fine.

• Recraft

  AI image and vector generator and design platform.

  • Free No
  • Paid Yes

  Free tier: no commercial use and Recraft owns your images. Paid plans: you own the images (no AI-training use).
