How is DesignLumo different from Canva?

Canva is template-based. You pick a pre-made design and tweak it. DesignLumo is AI-first: you just describe what you need ('Facebook ad for 50% sale on shoes') and it generates a unique, editable design in seconds. No scrolling through hundreds of templates. Faster, smarter, and built for fresh content every time.

What makes DesignLumo different from AI image generators?

Most AI tools generate pictures or flat images you can't edit. DesignLumo creates fully editable designs — with text, fonts, colors, and layers you can move around just like in Canva. That means you don't just get an image, you get a complete design you can customize.

Can I edit the designs like in Canva?

Yes, every design from DesignLumo is layer-by-layer editable. You can change text, fonts, colors, positions, images, and shapes easily. It feels just like Canva, but without the repetitive templates.

Is DesignLumo just for social media?

No. We primarily focus on social media, but you can also use DesignLumo to generate flyers, banners, documents, infographics, and more. If you can describe it, DesignLumo can design it for you.

How much does it cost?

You can try it with free credits. After that, affordable plans give you unlimited professional designs — far cheaper than hiring designers or agencies.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, we offer refunds for unused credits. If you decide to cancel your subscription, we'll refund any remaining credits after deducting applicable fees. This ensures you only pay for what you've actually used.

Do I need design skills to use DesignLumo?

Not at all. Just type what you want, and you'll get a ready-to-use, editable design. Even if you've never designed before, you'll have scroll-stopping creatives in minutes.

Do I own the designs I make with DesignLumo?

Yes. You get full usage rights for personal or commercial use.

Can DesignLumo replace a graphic designer?

No, It won't replace creativity, but it removes time-consuming grunt work. Designers can use it to speed up drafts, while non-designers can get professional-looking creatives without hiring an agency.

How do I create Shopify banner images with DesignLumo?

Simply describe your Shopify banner in plain English: 'Create a banner for my fashion store sale - 40% off all items, elegant design with model wearing clothes.' AI generates multiple options you can edit. Export in Shopify-optimized sizes and upload directly to your store.

What makes DesignLumo different from other Shopify banner makers?

Unlike static banner generators, DesignLumo creates fully editable designs. You can change text, colors, layout, and images after generation. No design skills needed - just describe what you want and customize as needed.

Can I create banners for different Shopify themes?

Yes! DesignLumo exports banners in multiple sizes optimized for all Shopify themes. Whether you use Dawn, Debut, or any other theme, you'll get the perfect dimensions and formats for your store.

How quickly can I create a professional Shopify banner?

In under 2 minutes! Type your description, select from AI-generated options, make any edits, and export. No waiting for designers or struggling with complex software.
