This is a collection of so called NoAI Tools. NoAI means, that the software, application or service does not use artificial intelligence to produce the end result. You can use them in your daily creative work. I try to continuously verify and update this list.
I would like to list here the most useful and budget-friendly (possibly free) tools for graphic design.
3D Software
Blender – an open source creative software for modeling, sculpting, lighting, rendering of 3D images. Completely free. It has a long learning curve, but lot of free learning materials are available on the web.
It contains also a professional video editing tool.
Digital painting
Procreate – this software made for Mac users. Not free, but on low budget if you have an Apple product. The Procreate team clearly defines that they don’t plan to implement any generative AI functions to their apps, which can really support the real artists and creative, human made artwork. Read about this on their the official site.
Photo editing
GIMP – free image editing and painting software. Similar to Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo, but I think, that Adobe and Affinity products are more user-friendly.
Web design
Placeholder image generator – use this excellent free tool if you would like to create photos in different categories, in custom sizes for your website design or prototype. More image formats are available like jpeg, png and even webp.
Vector graphics design
Affinity Designer – not free, but relatively cheap and not subscription-based.
Inkscape – this is probably the most popular and free vector graphics editor for Windows, macOS and Linux
