Who it's for
- Designers who need accurate English text inside images for logos, posters, or typography. A great alternative when text fails in other tools.
- Marketers who need to place copy on ad banners or product images. Putting text in quotation marks inside the prompt renders it accurately.
- Users who want to generate a few images for free every day. Daily free generations are provided.
Drawbacks
- Korean text still breaks. If you need Korean text, it is safer to generate only the background image and add the text separately with an editing tool.
- The UI and instructions are in English, so it takes some time to get used to the settings initially.
- The free plan has daily usage limits, and commercial use terms vary by plan.
Getting started
- Sign up on the official website using a Google account or other methods.
- Wrap the text you want to include in quotation marks within the prompt. Example: a coffee shop poster with the text "MORNING BREW"
- Select a style preset (Poster, 3D, Photo, etc.) and generate.
- If you like the result, upscale or remix to refine it, then download.
- If you need Korean text, generate only the background and add the text using Canva or MiriCanvas.
