✨ Key Features

🌍 Dual Provider Support

Flexibility is key. Switch seamlessly between:

1. Google Gemini: Ultra-fast performance with Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana, and Gemini Flash Image.

📝 Smart Text Generation

Generate creative headlines, realistic body copy, UI messages, and more.

2. Bulk Editing: Select multiple text layers and fill them all at once.
3. Customizable: Control the length and tone of your copy.

🖼️ Premium AI Images

Create unique, high-quality images instantly with models from both giants.

1. Gemini Flash Image: Blazing fast generation for quick iterations.

3. Batch & Style: Generate multiple images at once and toggle between Vivid/Natural styles or Standard/HD quality.

Populate your mockups with realistic data sets instead of repetitive placeholders.

1. Diverse Data: Names, addresses, prices, dates, tech terms, and more.
2. Smart Sorting: Sort generated data Alphabetically (A-Z, Z-A) or Randomly.
3. Unique Values: Ensure every layer gets a different value.
