Forget navigating confusing menus and endless font lists. With Pixelcut’s AI, adding text is as simple as having a conversation. Just describe what you want to see. For example, you could ask to 'add the quote ‘Hello World’ in a playful, bright yellow font at the top.' The AI understands your request for specific text, styles, colors, and placement, creating the perfect overlay without any manual adjustments. This approach makes graphic design intuitive and accessible for everyone, regardless of their experience.
