The site also lists whiteboards and a Magic Layers tool that turns an image into an editable layout.\n\nThe homepage offers a free start through its Start designing for free call to action. Image generation is one feature of a design editor rather than a dedicated generator, so it suits images that belong inside a finished layout. Midjourney, which is in this ranking, suits image-only work more closely."
