How Teachers Can Create Worksheet and Textbook Illustrations with AI

Illustrations are always a challenge when creating worksheets or textbooks. There's no time to draw them yourself, finding images with clear copyright is difficult, and buying stock images for every material adds up quickly.

Generating illustrations directly with XBRUSH solves this problem. Create images that perfectly match your lesson content immediately, and use them in teaching materials without copyright concerns.

Tips for Using Generated Images

Make Transparent PNG with Background Removal

Even if you generated with a white background, the Background Removal feature converts it to a transparent background PNG. Transparent backgrounds blend naturally with text when inserted into Word or Hangeul documents.

Add Text in the Canvas

Open Edit in Canvas to add labels or explanatory text directly to the generated illustration. Putting shape names, step numbers, and vocabulary inside the illustration reduces separate text box work.

Unify Sizes

When multiple illustrations need to be the same size, use Outpainting to standardize canvas ratio, or set exact pixel dimensions with Canvas Resize.
