8 Best AI Design Tools

While Claspo allows you to create an appealing pop-up in less than 5 minutes without any design skills, you may need the help of AI design tools to develop other visual materials for your marketing strategy. So why not accept this help to optimize your workflow? Let us tell you in more detail how AI takes over the functions of a designer, which services are considered leaders in their segment, and how effective they are. 

What You Can Do with AI Design Tools

Most graphic design tasks require a lot of time and effort. Fortunately, they can be automated by using AI tools for graphic design. But it's worth remembering that these services are not omnipotent either — they can get confused in the details of complex prompts, generate text nonsense or make annoying mistakes like "extra" fingers on people’s hands in photos. Thus, it is best if you only trust them to design simple graphic elements:

• buttons
• text blocks
• icons
• menus
• background images;
• decorative details, etc. 

This will be quite enough to use artificial intelligence in many cases. 

For example, the Claspo editor has built-in stock banks of photos and icons. However, if you don't like the existing visuals, you can always generate them with the help of AI, choosing the desired style, color scheme, and level of detail. After that, you can upload the fruits of its activity to our editor to create your perfect best widget for website. The same applies to a custom background image. In the future, the list of components you can add will be much broader, giving you even more room for creativity.

Another example is using AI tools for logo design, brand books, and corporate symbols. Even if the result is not perfect, it will still be a source of inspiration and interesting ideas for you.

Best AI Design Tools

To choose the best AI tools for web design, pay attention to the following criteria:

• Subscription costs
• Generation speed
• Available style options
• The possibility to choose file formats, resolution and other parameters
• The ability to work with complex promos

We will tell you about the best AI tools for graphic design that are popular in online marketing.

1. Midjourney

This is the best AI tool for design — without exaggeration. It is one of the few neural networks capable of generating photorealistic images with minimal or no errors. You can safely trust it to create images with people, cars, airplanes, houses and other complex objects that cause difficulties for competitors.

One of the key advantages of Midjourney is flexibility. You can set the appropriate image resolution. The service even provides the ability to set a sample image and specify the extent of its influence on the final result.

2. Adobe Photoshop

One of the oldest and most popular graphic editors has recently gained artificial intelligence support. It can generate new images according to text prompts or modify existing images by "thinking out" new details. This is a very convenient AI tool for UI design: taking one element as a sample, you can generate the entire website or application interface in the same style.

Of course, Photoshop still has the same tools we love it for: intelligent brushes, hundreds of filters, fine-tuning of color schemes, changing proportions in a few clicks and the famous Gaussian soap. However, they are no longer as easy to use as artificial intelligence: you'll need at least one working day to learn the basic functionality and several weeks to master all the features and secrets.

3. Canva

Canva is the complete opposite of the previous two entries in our ranking. Canva is the best AI tool for graphic design for beginners and people without design skills. It has a very simple interface with prompts for every detail. It allows you to generate images from scratch based on prompts and edit them in a few clicks.

See an area that needs your attention? Circle it and choose the action you want to take — delete an existing object, add a new one, change the color scheme, add a decorative element, etc. Like the result? Save your settings to templates to apply them automatically to dozens of other images.

So, what about the quality of the generated images? We at Claspo decided to test the capabilities of Canva in practice. For this purpose, we provided the tool with a text prompt: Create an image for dog food advertising. It should contain a dog and a happy owner who feeds it. Well, here's the result.

This image leaves many questions. Why is one dog happy and the other howling behind? Maybe he hasn't noticed the food on the table, or the owner doesn't feed him? What happened to the body of the owner? Did the howling dog not wait for the food and bit off part of her? (sorry, dark humor)

We don't deny that our prompt is probably not the best, and Canva's editing capabilities can improve this image. But this experience once again proves that AI has room to grow. Either way, it was funny and a little surreal.

4. Stable Diffusion

This is a professional AI tool for graphic design. Its unique feature is the ability to refine the finished image and select fine settings after generation. Whereas competitors simply offer to make the next iteration, with Stable Diffusion, you can save the image and change specific details, which is much easier and more productive.

You can use the AI tool for website design, mobile app design, and corporate symbols. It comes with predefined templates and presets that make the task much easier for professionals. Moreover, you can upload your own sample and specify how much it will affect the generation results.

5. Storydoc

Storydoc is the leading AI-powered design tool specifically built for professional documents and presentations. Its standout feature is the ability to generate entire documents, decks, or web-stories from a single prompt, while maintaining brand consistency and professional design standards. Unlike generic AI design tools that focus on static images, Storydoc creates interactive, data-driven presentations.

The platform excels at all-purpose presentations, sales decks, marketing materials, reports, and investor slides with built-in analytics to track engagement and performance. Storydoc automatically applies your guidelines, integrates with your existing stack, and scales without compromising design quality. You can use the tool to generate any design you'd like, for any of your needs.

6. UIzard

As the name implies, this service is a specialized AI tool for UI design. It allows you to turn text prompts into drafts of websites, mobile apps, and computer programs.

The key advantage of UIzard is its simplicity. You don't need to draw anything at all. You describe the essence of your project in a few sentences, choose the type of device to display on the screen, specify the desired style, press a button, and wait a few minutes. The result is a ready-made layout for a landing page, multipage website or application. You can even generate a personalized popup to play in Claspo. 

7. Looka

If you're looking for an AI tool for logo design, consider this service. It can create brand elements based on your suggestions, the company's field of activity, product features, business scale and other parameters.

Do you like the idea but want to personalize it? Looka provides all the necessary tools, offering a vast library of styles, fonts, color schemes, symbols and decorative graphic elements. Have a perfect logo? See how it will look on bags, notebooks, tableware, clothing and souvenirs. 

8. Autodraw

This is probably the simplest and most affordable AI graphic design tool. Autodraw has an interesting principle of operation: you create a primitive sketch, and artificial intelligence selects a similarly shaped drawing. With a few strokes, you get a ready-made icon for your website, a template for designing a logo or an image for a mobile app layout. One more click and the image is downloaded to your device.
