Use this interactive demo to learn how to leverage AI tools within Adobe InDesign for your design projects.

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to access and use AI features in Adobe InDesign:

‍

To use AI features in Adobe InDesign, navigate to the top menu and select 'Window.'
From the menu, select 'Text to Image' to open the AI features panel.
Once the panel opens, select your preferred AI action. You can choose from prompt-to-image generation to image expansion and editing.

📌 Why this matters

AI features in InDesign let you generate custom images directly within your layout without switching between applications or searching stock libraries. You can create visuals that match your exact specifications, expand existing images to fit different aspect ratios, and modify graphics on the fly.

This eliminates the workflow friction that typically slows down creative projects. More importantly, it transforms InDesign from a layout tool into a complete visual creation environment, allowing you to iterate on designs rapidly while maintaining creative control over every visual element.
