GRAPHIC DESIGN
🍎 Create Stunning Logos Fast and Free with LogoFast (1,000+ options)
LogoFast.com
Making logos is the first step to creating your brand (or business), and sometimes, it’s the hardest part….
Marc Lou made this free tool to promote his other tool (which is for developers) called ShipFast.
Because Marc isn’t a designer, he decided to make it as simple as possible through this 3 step process:
1. Pick an icon (1,000+ to choose from)
2. Add a background color
3. Adjust padding, shadow, roundness.
4. Export, and voila!
Creating a logo in under a minute
Plus… if you don’t want to choose from their generic icon library, you can create your own with artificial intelligence by entering a text prompt!
VIDEO EDITING
✨ Gling AI: Automatically Edit Videos, Cut Silences, Add Zooms
Last week, the Creator’s Toolbox team played around with a ton of “AI-editing” tools, and we landed on Gling.ai as our favorite (it was recommended by a follower).
What does it do exactly?
🔠 Transcribe your video
✂ Cuts out silences
🤔 Generates video ideas
❌ Cuts out repeated words (it’s very good at this)
🦘 Add jump-cut zooms
💬 Adds captions for you
👀 Creates titles for you
📚 Creates video chapters for you
Video idea generator
The best part is it’s way more affordable than competitors like FireCut.ai (made by YouTuber Ali Abdaal).
The first video you edit in Gling is 100% free….and…. if you have an active YouTube channel with at least 1000 subscribers, you can earn free video credits for each video where you mention Gling (in the video description).
We found this really good breakdown of Gling here 👇

PHOTOGRAPHY
📸 Add Fake Blur & Bokeh to Your Photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic
Before/After
Last month, Adobe released a new Lens Blur tool in Lightroom Classic that can add an “authentic blur” effect to your photos.
The tool allows you to apply blur to selected portions of an image, customize the blur effect, and create a depth map using Adobe Sensei.
Depth Map
💡 Lens Blur is still an “Early Access feature” and is under development. Presets, Copy/Paste Settings, and Sync/Auto-Sync Settings workflows are not supported.
Here’s a tutorial on how to use it in Lightroom 👇
