However, some designers are reluctant to embrace them or feel lost when choosing the right AI tool for them and their projects. That’s where I come in! Here are some of the top AI tools that I believe every graphic designer should consider integrating into their toolkit in 2025:
1| Adobe Firefly Video Model
Adobe Firefly has been in the AI scene for a while now but Adobe has recently unveiled their Video Model, a generative AI tool that allows designers to create and edit videos using text prompts or images. This tool enables the specification of camera angles and the development of custom motion designs, seamlessly integrating with Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Its emphasis on respecting intellectual property, ethical AI training, and commercially safe outputs makes it a reliable choice for professional designers who actively use Adobe software in their process -who doesn’t pay the Adobe subscription, right?
2| Canva's Magic Studio
Canva continues to empower designers with its AI-driven features in Magic Studio. This suite includes Magic Design, a text-to-image generator, and AI-powered photo editing tools; Magic Write for copywriting, Dream Lab, Magic Enhance... These features enable designers and non-designers to create stunning visuals effortlessly, making it a valuable asset for anyone who uses Canva to design.
3| Khroma

4| Vance AI and LetsEnhance

There are many other tools out there in the wild web but if I added them all you would probably use ChatGPT to summarize this whole article!
