The Notes app has evolved into a powerhouse with iOS 18.2's new Image Wand feature, which generates AI images from your descriptions or sketches. It's part of Apple Intelligence's growing toolkit, alongside Visual Intelligence for object and place recognition, Writing Tools for smarter messaging and, of course, Image Playground.

It's a wonderful way to dress up your notes and you can choose from one of three styles: sketch, illustration and animation. It's also possible to use the feature on an iPad. When combined with a Pencil, Image Wand really comes into its own as you're able to hand write notes and create images based on that text.

Generated images can be moved around and resized, and there are few limitations. Beyond standard prohibited content, a notable limitation is it can't generate images of people. Still, Image Wand is a great feature. Here's how to get started with Image Wand.

Quickly get an image out of your head and on to the screen and then get Image Wand to produce something more stylish.
