This design enables users to customize seals via a three step process: text input, font selection, and layout adjustment. Seal designs are certifiable as NFTs. Beyond digital use, AI Sealer extends to physical creation. A carving machine produces tangible seals, and digital designs apply to items like tote bags and electronics.
