Napkin AI, an AI-powered tool for creating presentation visuals
Description: Napkin AI is an AI-powered tool to generate professional-looking visuals for presentations, reports, and creative projects out of text prompts or documents. It can help users, including educators and students, create visuals like flow diagrams, infographics, and charts in minutes without requiring design skills. It offers various styles, customisable elements, and allows users to export images in formats such as PNG, SVG, or PDF. Napkin requires having an account for use.
Evaluation: Napkin AI is a time-saving and useful tool for creating visually engaging content through prompts or existing content. Regrettably, its free version has a credit limit and includes watermarks. However, the ease of use, quality of the generated visuals, and possibility to edit them make it a strong contender for anyone looking to simplify their visual creation workflow.
Cost: Free + paid options available.
Respect for privacy
Privacy evaluations indicate how a tool handles personal data collection, storage, and sharing, including GDPR compliance and security measures, among others. The ICT-REV team provides them for informational purposes, reflecting our best understanding at the time of review, but assumes no legal responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of these evaluations and encourages users to conduct their own assessments: Medium. Napkin AI collects different types of data, including personally identifiable information and user-generated content, among others. Along with that, it collects automatic data from devices and online activity and cookies. This data is used for operational purposes, research and development, and marketing and is retained as long as necessary, although users can request to delete their data anytime. It is shared with several third parties for different purposes, including Google Cloud Platform, Google Analytics, OpenAI, and Gemini. However, no input data is used to train artificial intelligence models; only user choices regarding which of the visuals suggested by Napkin AI, after having this data been anonymised, are used to improve Napkin AI’s model. Moreover, users can opt out of this. Napkin AI uses technical, organizational, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption, together with access control and restrictions. It stores data in the US. Napkin AI acknowledges users’ rights to access, copy, correct, delta, restrict, and erase their data, but does not comply with the GDPR. See more here.
