What is AI Magic, and how do clients use it?
AI Magic turns a short description or an event invitation into a unique photo strip background. Here's how it works and why it saves you design hours.
AI Magic is the part of Stripbuilder that generates original strip backgrounds from a prompt or an uploaded invitation. It's built so your clients can create something unique without any design skills - and without you spending an hour in an editor.
Two ways to start
Both routes live in the same panel, and both come out at strip dimensions.
From a prompt. Your client types a short description of the mood they want - "tropical summer party at sunset, palm leaves and golden garlands" - and AI Magic generates a background to match.
From an invitation. Your client uploads a photo of the event's invitation. AI Magic uses its colors, style and mood as a reference, so the strip feels like a natural extension of the event's look.

Why it matters for operators
The classic problem: a client wants "something that matches our theme," and you end up designing it by hand, then revising it two or three times. AI Magic moves that work to the moment your client is most engaged - while they're excitedly setting up their own strip.
- A wow moment for the client. Seeing a matching design appear in seconds is memorable, and it reflects well on your service.
- Time saved for you. No design hours per booking for custom backgrounds.
- Unique every time. No two events get the same strip.
What's included
Your plan includes 100 AI Magic generations per month. During the 7-day free trial you get 10 generations to experiment with before committing.
The results are sized to fit the strip format automatically and are ready to use straight in the editor - no cropping or reformatting.
