Playground

Playground is an AI design app for making logos, stickers, posters, merch and social graphics from text, with GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana Pro.

Playground is an AI design studio for people without design experience who want logos, graphics, stickers, merch, posters and other designs. Users describe what they want and the AI handles color, style and layout, or they start from thousands of templates across 24 categories, including T-shirts, cards and invitations, mockups, wallpapers and repeating patterns. It uses several image models, including GPT Image 2 for legible headlines and typography, Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana and Seedream. Tools such as style swaps, background removal, upscaling and extending images apply non-destructive edits that can be tweaked further. Playground runs on the web and as an iOS app, and it is free to start with paid Pro plans.
