Andalusi AI Design Photo Video

Andalusi sits in a genuine gap: it is the only mainstream mobile design app built assuming your text is in Arabic, not translated into it. The features that matter most are the ones competitors don't have — an AI calligraphy generator that renders a phrase in classic script styles, a curved Arabic text tool designed for script layouts rather than retrofitted, and one-tap AI tashkeel (added June 24, 2026) that handles the fiddly work of placing Arabic vowel marks. Add AI background removal, AI element removal, and AI image expansion, and the AI layer covers the cleanup work that eats an Arabic creator's time. The non-AI library is also a strength, not a consolation prize. You get more than 10,000 templates, 450+ Arabic and English fonts on paid tiers, 100,000+ elements, calligraphy shapes and stickers, the 8type font family (May 2026), and Ramadan-themed template packs (February 2026). The curved Arabic text tool, professional gold-and-silver colour palettes, mask shapes, and animation presets all sit behind the paid tiers; the free plan gets the complete photo and video editor plus 120 AI points at signup. The pricing model is straightforward but worth understanding before you commit. AI actions consume points, and only AI actions do — templates, fonts, elements, and exports do not. Pro's 5,000 points per month is framed as roughly 1,000 background removals or 50–62 Pro-style AI calligraphy pieces; Max's 70,000 points cover about 14,000 background removals or 700–875 Pro-style calligraphy pieces plus 100 Max-style pieces. If you use AI heavily or design for clients, Max is the honest recommendation because the point ceiling on Pro arrives faster than people expect. Both paid tiers include a 3-day free trial and one subscription works across iPhone, Android, and the web client at design.andalusi.app. Where Andalusi doesn't fit: it is mobile-first, with web only in beta. There is no documented vector export (SVG or AI) and no CMYK mode, so print production is out. Real-time team collaboration and shared canvases aren't offered. The English interface and English content library are smaller than the Arabic side, so non-Arabic-first users get less out of it. And AI calligraphy quality varies by phrase — the vendor says the model is expanded with each update, which is an admission that not every name renders cleanly on the first try.
