Image & Design AI tools are products whose core function applies AI to image & design work. A tool belongs in this category when that is the job it is built for — not when it bolts an AI feature onto something else.
The subcategories below split image & design into the specific jobs these tools do, so you can start from the task rather than the tool name. Every tool in this category has its own review and Editor Score, covering what it does, how it is priced and whether it has a free tier.

How to Choose an Image & Design Tool
Start From the Job, Not the Tool
Most image & design tools overlap on their headline feature and differ on the specific job. Image Generation, Image Editing and Logo Design are separate subcategories here for that reason — picking the right one first rules out most of the category before you compare anything.
Check What the Free Tier Actually Covers
238 of the 289 image & design tools reviewed here have a free or freemium plan, but "free" covers everything from a permanent tier to a short trial. Each review states which it is, so read the limit before building a workflow on it.
Shortlist Two or Three, Then Compare
Comparing every tool in a category is how people end up choosing none of them. Narrow to two or three inside one subcategory, then judge those side by side on output quality and on what the paid plan adds.
