  • Designed for images that contain text, such as posters, logos and packaging
  • Editing tools including Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, upscale and background removal
  • Public API, MCP integration and iOS app

  • Team plan with central billing and per-member credits

Cons

  • Free plan gives 30 credits per week and all generations are public
  • Private generation requires a paid plan starting at $20 per month
  • Email-and-password free accounts receive no credits
  • Unused credits do not roll over, and edits and upscales need credits even after the slower queue starts
  • Some App Store reviewers report hallucinated or repeated errors despite precise prompts

  • No publicly released iOS or Android app was found.
