BrandBird: A Powerhouse of Features

BrandBird may be easy to use, but it is also a powerhouse of features. This article is here to help you discover all our features and learn more about the BrandBird toolset!

AI (PRO)

Our AI features are there to help you elevate your designs with images and text that you can quickly generate within the platform.

Navigating to our AI menu you will find 5 tools to choose from, so let’s see them one by one.

Emoji Maker

Give a short description and our Emoji Maker will generate a colourful emoji you can use as a sticker.

Text Generation

Our Text Generator can help you create content in no time. Just select the style you want your text to have, give it a topic and you are good to go.

Text to Image 

With our Text to Image tool you can quickly create an image in 6 different styles, just by giving a short description.

3D Icons

Give a short description and our 3D Icons tool will generate a 3D icon you can use as a sticker.

Illustrations

Choose your preferred illustration style and colours, and give a short description to generate an illustration for your design.

Templates (PRO)

Templates are a super helpful BrandBird tool and using them can significantly speed up your design process.

There are two ways you can leverage our templates feature:

1. Select one of our public templates, and customise it to your needs by adding your images and text

2. Create a design, save it as a private template, and reuse it every time you need a new graphic by simply changing the images and text

Images

Images are a core part of BrandBird and you will most probably find yourself using them a lot. Images can be added from you or generated with our AI features.

There are two types of images in BrandBird:  Layout and Annotation images.

Layout 

Our Layout images are designed to give you a more structured design, as you can only move them using the Position and Layout tools. When you upload two or more Layout images, we suggest using our Layout tool to place them in a predefined layout, for a more professional result.

Annotation (PRO)

Our Annotation images are resizable, layer images that you can move anywhere in your canvas. They can be layered, along with the rest of the annotation items, so you can use them as images or as stickers, too.

Within our Images menu you will also find the options to add a Tweet or a Website as an image. By simply adding the tweet’s or website’s URL, BrandBird will add them as a Layout image to your canvas, and you can then adjust them to your needs using the image edit options.

Annotation

Annotations are resizable items, such as images, text, and shapes, that you can use to style your designs and make them unique. You can move them anywhere in your canvas and layer them too, by simply organising the Layer sequence to your preference. Now, let’s check them one by one.

Image

This is one of the two types of BrandBird images, which as we mentioned above, shares the characteristics and can be layered with the rest of the Annotation items.

Text 

Our text annotations can be customised using different fonts and styles, colours and effects.

With our 3D effects you can shift an image’s perspective, make it look 3D and add depth to your design. To add a 3D effect, select an image, and then adjust the tilt options in our 3D menu.

Shadow

All images added to BrandBird have, by default, a small shadow added to them to make them pop. You can adjust or remove this shadow by going to the shadow menu.

With our header feature you can easily add text as a title to your layout images. Once you enable it, you will have the option to add a title, a sub-title, and a logo, and customise the view.

Please note that BrandBird will automatically adjust the width of your text to make it the same as your image’s, for a more aligned and professional result.

Watermark (PRO)

We understand that branding should be a core part of your designs, so with BrandBird you can easily add a watermark to your designs to brand them and make them recognisable to your public.

Plus, you can save your watermark, so you won’t need to upload it again each time you create a new graphic!

Brands (PRO)

Our Brands feature can help you keep your designs branded easily and effectively. Within our Brands menu, you can set up your brand’s logo, colours, and even upload your brand’s font, characteristics that, once set up, will be available for you to use throughout the BrandBird app.
