If you are looking for a good AI tool to help you create beautiful visuals and illustrations, Napkin AI is one of the best out there. I have been experimenting with it for the last few days and found helpful. You can use Napkin to design illustrations for your content, for instance turn data in your research paper into visual representations such as flowcharts, mind maps, infographics, images, and more.

While Napkin AI is a text to image tool but it differs from the popular text to image platforms out there 9e.g., Midjourney, Dall-E, and Leonardo) in that it does not require any prompts. All you need to do is copy and paste your text into its canvas and hit the bue button to start generating visuals from different sections in your documents.

Napkin generates multiple visual types to choose from. Scroll down through the creations and click to select the visualization you like. With a single click the selected visual is inserted into the document and from there you can further customize it the way you want. You can change or add text it , change font, change colours, add icons and clip arts and many more.

Once your visual is ready you can then click to download it to your computer or share it on popular social media websites. Here is a quick YouTube short I recorded explaining how Napkin AI works.

How to Use Napkin AI

There are various ways to use Napkin for educational purposes, these include:

• Creating flowcharts to explain complex processes or data flows in your research or teaching materials
• Convert your text into mind maps. For instance, create mind maps that visualize relationships between concepts or capture the main ideas for a project
• You can also use Napkin to turn raw data from research or classroom assessments into visually appealing infographics
• Create illustrations and visual representations to explain abstract ideas or explain difficult concepts.
• Use it to convert text-heavy sections of research papers into diagrams that visually depict relationships or structures within the data or findings.

How Much Does Napkin Cost
