What is Designs.ai?

Designs.ai is an online platform created by Inmagine Group, the company behind other content automation tools such as Pixlr and 123RF. Designs.ai combines the user-friendly capabilities of tools like Canva with the option for more advanced editing and collaboration options.

While it relies far more on AI design than pro design tools like the Abode Creative Suite, Designs.ai is also much easier to master. This makes it a solid option for everyone, from beginners to professionals, in search of a handy way to scale their business.

Features of Designs.ai

One of the leading benefits of Designs.ai is that it offers a wide range of AI-powered tools all in one place. When you log into your dashboard, you’ll find a range of options for creating written content, audio content, and visual content like logos, designs, and videos.

Keep scrolling down, and you’ll find even more tools that can help you create graphics, create holiday-themed posts, and even match colors and fonts. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of each tool and what it has to offer.

AI Writer

If you’re a designer in need of written content, then Designs.ai has you covered with its AI Writer tool. The platform uses OpenAI’s latest GPT model, which was trained using machine learning algorithms to accept prompts and produce output in natural language. This makes for an intuitive user interface that uses cutting edge AI technology to generate natural-sounding first drafts in your style and tone.

While AI Writer and ChatGPT are both built on OpenAI’s GPT model, AI Writer has created an interface that speeds up the process of prompt generation. Rather than attempting to create a prompt that explains your need, you can simply make a selection from the template menu. You’ll find a diverse range of options, including social media posts, newsletters, press releases, and presentation outlines.

On the next page, you’ll have the opportunity to give the tool more information about what you want your copy to achieve. While being clear and concise, describe your objective, target audience, and content goals. You can also make additional notes and even select the tone of voice you’d like the content to have.

Click the “generate” button, and the system will create your copy in seconds. You’ll still need to work the copy over to perfect the style and tone, and verify its accuracy. But Writer AI can dramatically improve the ideation and drafting processes.

Logomaker

The Logomaker at Designs.ai was created to offer a fast and user-friendly approach to logo design. Getting started is easy—simply enter the name of the company whose logo you want to create.

You’ll be guided through a series of screens where you’ll have the opportunity to specify things like the company’s industry, preferred color palette, and other design elements.

The system will generate a series of logos based on your preferences, which you can then choose to edit and customize further. Overall, the Logomaker is a fast and efficient way to help your clients create a memorable brand identity.

Videomaker

According to the latest research, ad spending on short-form video advertising alone is expected to grow from $88 billion in 2023 to $134 billion by 2027. The Videomaker tool at Designs.ai is helping ensure that small businesses and startups don’t get left behind due to the lack of a large production budget. Videomaker allows you to either use your own footage or choose from a series of video templates that are grouped by industry.

If you see a template that catches your eye, simply select it and you’ll be taken to a user-friendly video editor. There you’ll be able to add your own text, select fonts and backgrounds, or add your own voiceover. The Videomaker also makes it easy to cut, trim, or rearrange scenes to create your own unique project.

Designmaker

For creatives like social media managers and freelance marketers, the Designmaker tool at Designs.ai can help you generate and edit designs that will reach your target audience. Designmaker uses AI technology to make the design process faster and more intuitive, from format selection and initial layouts to editing and resizing.

Choose from a variety of blank layouts or a full library of customizable templates for social media posts, ads, event announcements, website banners, and more. When you make a selection, you’ll be taken to an easy drag-and-drop design editor where you can customize the template with your own text, photos, and other design elements.

You’ll also find an option called “Brand Kit” that allows you to upload and save your brand logo, fonts, and color palettes. Whether you’re using the platform for your own business or your clients’, the Brand Kit makes it easy to keep track of preferences.

Want to produce ads for multiple digital channels? Just click on the “Resize” option at the top of the screen, and the platform will automatically generate your design in a variety of formats or allow you to specify your own dimensions. This option alone can cut time off manual format readjustments from the traditional design process.  

If you’re not looking for anything super customized, you can also select the “Wizard” option from the main Designmaker window. Simply type in your own copy and upload any images you’d like to use to customize the template of your choice.

Whether you’re a seasoned designer or a complete beginner, Designmaker was created to make the AI art and design process smoother and more accessible to everyone.

Speechmaker

The Speechmaker tool at Designs.ai makes it easy to create natural-sounding voiceovers in a variety of languages, tones, and pitches, even if you don’t have the resources to hire a voiceover artist. Simply type or paste the text you want to convert into the Speechmaker box, and select a voice from the dropdown menu.

When you click “Convert,” the platform will use AI technology to generate your audio in seconds. You’ll be able to download your audio in mp3 format, which can be easily edited into a video or presentation.

Colormatcher

The Colormatcher tool at Designs.ai can be very useful when it comes to selecting the right color schemes for your projects. Choose from a series of preselected color palettes created to ensure visual harmony, or use the color wheel to create your own.

Want to instantly match the colors of one of your products or a client’s logo? Inside the Colormatcher you’ll find a tool called Image Color Extractor that will make the process far less time-consuming.

Upload any JPG, JPEG, SVG, or PNG to extract the relevant colors and save them to your Brand Kit. Colormatcher goes a long way toward cutting out the more painstaking parts of the design process, so you can concentrate on creating.

Graphicmaker

With the Graphicmaker tool at Designs.ai, you can download high-quality graphics for personal or professional use. You should be aware, however, that some subscription plans come with more generous licensing than others. Make sure you check out the full set of licensing rules on the Do’s and Don’ts page for more information.

Graphicmaker allows you to choose from a variety of illustration styles, from flat vectors to 3D isometric designs. When you land on an image you like, you can customize it with the colors of your choice and download it in your desired format.

Font Pairer

The Font Pairer tool at Designs.ai does for fonts what the Colormatcher does for color schemes. Font Pairer uses AI technology to enhance the visual appeal of projects by evaluating how well different fonts mesh together.

Add your own choices from a selection of hundreds of different fonts and see how they work together. Or, choose from a selection of approved font combinations.

Calendar

Holidays can be excellent inspiration for social media posts, and the Social Calendar tool at Designs.ai is designed to help you keep track of celebrations all over the world. Click on any month of the year to get a full list of its holidays and details on when and where they’re celebrated.

You can also use the dropdown menu at the top to choose whether to view international holidays or to focus on those celebrated in a certain region.

Click on any holiday to get more information and even design suggestions for celebratory social posts.

Pricing and plans
