What it does
Playground AI combines image generation, design templates and AI editing. Board compares generated variations, while Smart Layers helps rearrange objects and lettering.
Board starts with a prompt and aspect ratio, then produces up to four designs for comparison. A selected result can continue through background removal or upscaling.
Smart Layers lets you select an object or text, move or resize it and stage several edits before applying the generated revision. This suits a graphic whose main illustration and title need to be rearranged together. Treat the result as a reconstructed image; it is not proof that the original document’s layers have been recovered.
Allow for two kinds of usage limit
Rolling generation limits sit alongside a shared monthly credit pool for selected models. Pro Plus's unlimited generation wording does not remove that separate pool. Free access allows two downloads per day; paid tiers add premium templates and SVG exports. The plans permit commercial use under a worldwide royalty-free licence, subject to the service terms.
