S02E01 We're back with Season02 of MockoFun - Life as a programmer & graphic designer
Welcome back, MockoFun enthusiasts, to the first episode of Season 2 of MockoFun podcast!
I'm John, your host, and I have to say, it's been way too long since our last chat. My sincerest apologies for the hiatus, but fear not, because today's episode is packed with exciting updates and developments.
First things first, let me extend my gratitude to our incredible community of over 500,000 MockoFun users. You guys are the heart and soul of this graphic design journey, and we can't thank you enough for being part of the MockoFun family.
One of the most significant updates is the integration of AI features. We've added a suite of powerful tools, including text to image, face swapping, background removal, upscaling, and inpainting. Most of these incredible features are exclusively available for our Premium Users. However, I've got some great news for our Free Users – the text to image feature is now accessible to all!
Thank you, MockoFun community, for your continued support. We're committed to pushing the boundaries of graphic design and making MockoFun the go-to platform for creators worldwide.
Remember, keep creating, keep designing, and most importantly, have fun with MockoFun!
