Design-oriented image generator with strong in-canvas editing tools
Playground describes itself as an AI design tool rather than a pure generator. Alongside text-to-image it offers a canvas where you can select a region and change just that part, expand an image beyond its frame, remove objects, replace backgrounds and add text, so a picture can be built up in stages instead of regenerated from scratch. It supports multiple models and offers templates for common formats such as logos, thumbnails and social posts. The free tier is limited in daily generations, and image quality varies by model, but the editing workflow is the reason designers keep it open.

The editor. You can select part of an image and regenerate only that area, extend the frame, or swap a background, which makes it closer to a design tool than a one-shot generator.
There is a free tier with a daily allowance for generations and access to the core tools. Paid plans raise limits and unlock faster models and additional editing features.
It can produce logo-style images and design templates, but output is raster rather than true vector. For production logos you would still redraw the result in a vector tool.
