- Aspect ratio controls offering 13 preset ratios with post-generation precision cropping
- Local-first image editing tools including smart erase with model mask baking, BiRefNet background removal, and vectorization
- Visual OCR and typography reconstruction into editable text layers for PSD and native Illustrator (.ai) files

- Multi-engine support allowing direct connection to any OpenAI-compatible image API or dsh-codex OAuth integration
- Asset library sidebar featuring color tags, filtering, sorting, and bi-directional drag-and-drop
Useful For
- Generating batch concept art and product visuals directly onto an infinite whiteboard layout
- Editing and smart erasing unwanted elements from AI images using custom model endpoints
- Reconstructing text from generated posters into layered, editable PSD/AI typography
- Interfacing AI-generated graphics directly with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator workflows without cloud subscriptions
Who It Fits
- Graphic designers and digital artists using DeepSeek Harness
- UI/UX designers needing batch visual ideation on an infinite canvas
- Developers and creators utilizing custom AI image generation APIs and Adobe toolchains
Documented Limitations

- Cloud team collaboration and generative video tools are not natively included
