AI image generator that actually handles text well
What they are
CapCut
CapCut is a free video editor built for short-form content, covering trimming, transitions, captions, and AI-generated effects across mobile and desktop. It is the go-to tool for TikTok creators, though ByteDance owns it, which is a real consideration for creators concerned about data privacy or platform risk. The free tier is generous, and a Pro subscription unlocks additional assets and AI features.
Ideogram
Ideogram is an AI image generator with a notable strength: it renders legible text inside images more reliably than most competing tools. Graphic designers, social media creators, and marketers use it to produce typographic visuals, posters, and thumbnails without touching design software. The free tier is usable but limits image quality and generation speed, and the paid plans unlock higher resolutions and priority processing.
