🧓 Senior Cheat-Sheet: What’s Easiest?

No-fuss winner: Bing Image Creator (just type, click, done).

Most fun & creative: Canva (perfect for projects).

Quirky laugh generator: Craiyon (for silly results you’ll want to show the grandkids).

⚠️ A Word of Caution:

Most of these “free” tools use the old carnival trick: let you ride the carousel for free once, then wave at you to buy a ticket for the next spin. Bing and Canva are the most generous if you want to play without pulling out your wallet.
