Using AI Image Generation in Draftly: Get the Best Results
Stock photos look generic. AI-generated images let you create visuals that are unique to your brand.
When to Use AI Images
- Hero backgrounds (no specific people needed)
- Abstract brand visuals
- Illustration-style feature icons
- Product lifestyle context images
- Background textures
When to Use Real Photos
- Your team, office, or physical products
- Before/after comparisons
- Client testimonials with headshots
