Categories that matter
- Poster / layout generators: Poster AI Creator — social and print promos from text briefs
- Photo cleanup: Dedicated retouch tools when product shots need fixing
- Vector logos: Still often manual; AI drafts concepts only
- Video: Separate stack; do not force static tools to animate
Evaluation criteria
- Time to first usable export
- Can you repeat the same brand output next week?
- Export formats you actually need (PNG, PDF)
- Rights clarity for commercial use
If a tool wins on demos but loses on repeatability, it is a toy—not a workflow.
