Want your photos to look like they were taken by the latest camera? Good news: you can. With all the buzz around AI (artificial intelligence) since ChatGPT’s launch it’s no surprise that AI-powered photo editing tools are popping up left and right. We’ve sifted through some of the most popular options available today to find the best ones you can use, whether you want to remove a photobomber, sharpen a blurry photo of the kiddos, or restore a vintage family photo. And don’t worry – you don’t need to be a professional photographer to use them!
AI Tools that Convert Text to Images
1. Canva (free & paid)
With Canva’s free version, you can generate up to 100 AI images and spruce them up with colourful stickers, text, shapes, and gifs. Alternatively, upload your own images and use Magic Edit to effortlessly fill in missing elements or replace them. Just brush over the area, describe your idea in a text box, and see it come to life!
2. Adobe Photoshop (paid)
Chances are, you’ve heard of Adobe Photoshop.
But Adobe is more user-friendly than you might expect, thanks to its newly integrated AI tools like Generative Fill. Easily add and remove elements (like pesky tourists in your holiday photos), or even extend the image canvas with a text prompt. Adobe can fill the empty space with original AI-generated content. So, go ahead and expand that sunset wedding portrait into a breath-taking landscape photo to truly capture the glow of the moment.
