What is HidingElephant?
HidingElephant is the AI canvas for real design work, a fully hybrid design platform that merges AI image generation with professional-grade vector editing in a single workspace. It allows users to generate, edit, and scale on-brand visuals with complete creative control, transforming AI generations into vector format with a single click. The platform combines the speed of AI with the precision of traditional vector tools, including bezier curves and boolean operations, without compromising on quality.
Key features include the Mixed AI/Vector Canvas for refining product layouts and campaign designs, Brand Style Kits to maintain visual consistency across touchpoints, and a Product & Asset Catalog that links SKUs to brand guides for on-brand generations. Workflows enable building visual pipelines that process entire product catalogs—generating, resizing, removing backgrounds, and exporting in one run. Additional tools include image upscaling (2-4x up to 4K), background removal, vectorization to SVG, image optimization (up to 98% compression), and live multi-user collaboration.
HidingElephant is built for designers, by designers, making it ideal for marketing teams, ecommerce brands, creative agencies, freelancers, and professional logo designers. It helps generate logo concepts from text prompts, create custom vectorized logos, iterate on brand assets, and maintain visual consistency. The platform supports batch processing pipelines via a visual node editor and includes team workspace features with role-based access for creative teams working at scale.
The tool stands out for its ability to create completely new graphics based on prompts rather than relying on preexisting graphics, fine-tuning results with variables like prompt adherence and stylization, and offering Magic Prompt for generating every possible combination of elements. It also features Generate Similar Designs for close alternatives, Randomize for unexpected creative variations, and seamless integrat

Frequently asked questions about HidingElephant
What is Hiding Elephant?
Hiding Elephant is the AI canvas for real design work—the first fully hybrid design platform that merges AI image generation and pure vector editing in a single workspace. It allows users to generate, edit, and scale on-brand visuals with complete creative control, transforming AI generations into vector format with a single click.
What are credits and how do they work?
Credits are your generation currency. Each AI action—generating an image, creating a video scene, upscaling, or running a workflow—consumes a set number of credits based on the model and output size. Your credit balance refreshes automatically on your billing renewal date. On yearly plans, full year's credits are granted upfront at the start of each billing cycle.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from your billing settings. When you upgrade, you'll be charged the prorated difference immediately. When you downgrade, the change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
What happens when my credits are depleted?
When your credits are depleted, AI generation features will be paused until your plan renews. You can also purchase credit top-ups from your dashboard to continue generating without waiting for your renewal date.
Is there a trial period?
No traditional trial period is offered, but the Free plan gives you real credits to explore the platform with no credit card required. You can generate images, use the canvas, and experience the workflow before deciding to upgrade.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your billing settings. Your access and credits remain active until the end of your current billing period—no immediate cutoff.
How do I vectorize a logo?
With Hiding Elephant, vectorizing is simple. When you want to export your design, open the Expanded View and click 'Vectorize', or in the Canvas open the Download menu and hit 'Vectorize'. Within seconds, download your logo as a clean, scalable vector file.
What is a vector logo?
A vector logo is saved in a vector format using mathematical equations to depict lines and shapes. Unlike raster images made of pixels, vectors maintain quality regardless of size, making them ideal for professional logo design. You can upscale to any size without quality loss.
What is Magic Prompt?
Magic Prompt explores every possibility fast. Give it a mix of elements like 'logo of a blue/green dog wearing glasses/hat' and the AI generates every possible combination—blue dog with glasses, green dog with hat, and every other mix—all created in moments for comprehensive idea presentation.
Who is Hiding Elephant for?
Hiding Elephant is built for designers, by designers. It's ideal for marketing teams, ecommerce brands, creative agencies, freelancers, light users, and professional logo designers who need to generate logo concepts, iterate on brand assets, and maintain visual consistency across every touchpoint.
