AI design you can keep editing
Describe the piece and the AI builds it with your photos, your colors and your logo. Every text, photo and shape can still be moved.
Create with AI, in layers and under your control
Ask for the piece and it lays it out
Type what you need and the AI fills the template with your material, your colors and your logo. If you don’t like it, undo it in one click.
You get a design, not a PNG
An image generator gives you a flat result: if a date needs changing, you have to generate it again and hope everything else comes out the same. Here the AI works on a document with layers, pages and sizes.Change the headline, swap the photo or move the logo by hand, like in any editor. And if one of the AI’s answers doesn’t work for you, undo it in one click.
It starts from your own photos
The desktop app understands what’s in your folders, so the AI finds “the team photo on the terrace” without you knowing what the file was called. You can also drag photos from Windows File Explorer onto the canvas.Photos stay linked to their original file, not copied: the design doesn’t balloon in size and your material never gets uploaded anywhere.
Ready to post
Post, story, vertical, cover, YouTube thumbnail or A4 formats, plus multi-page designs for carousels. Export as PNG, SVG or PDF.The same AI writes the caption, the hashtags and the alt text for each page, and warns you if the caption runs past Instagram’s limit.
Designing with AI here vs. generating an image
| Polimake | An AI image generator | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | An editable, layered design | A flat image |
| Photos | Yours, from your drive | Made up, or whatever you upload |
| Your brand | The project’s colors, fonts and logo | Whatever you describe in the prompt |
| Changing a line of text | You edit it by hand | You have to generate it again |
| Where it’s saved | On your computer | On the service |
When it’s not for you
- If you don’t have a Claude or Codex account: the AI runs on yours, and what it uses counts toward your subscription. The canvas, without AI, is free.
- If you want photos or illustrations generated from scratch: here the AI lays out your material, it doesn’t paint images.
- If you work on a Mac or on your phone: for now there’s only a Windows version.
- If several people need to edit the same design at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Polimake’s AI design free?
- The desktop app and the canvas are free. The AI is your own Claude (from Anthropic) or Codex (from OpenAI) account, which you connect in settings: whatever it uses counts toward that account’s subscription, not toward Polimake.
- Can I design without using the AI?
- Yes. The canvas works the same by hand: pages, sizes, text, shapes, layers, alignment and your brand’s colors and logo. The AI is a helper, not a requirement.
- Does the AI create the photos?
- No. It searches your photos and videos, picks a template and lays it out with your brand. If you connect a service like Unsplash with your own key, it can also pull photos from there.
- What formats can I export to?
- PNG per page or for all pages, SVG of the current page and PDF with the whole design. The original design is saved on your computer, so you can reopen it and keep editing.
- What other AI design tools are there?
- Canva, with its AI features and a huge template catalog; Adobe Express, which is very similar; and Microsoft Designer, which generates images from text. All three work in the cloud. Polimake fits if you want the AI to design with your own photos and brand, on your computer, and still be able to fine-tune by hand.
