What you can design
The editor includes templates for eight common formats: Instagram posts (1080 × 1080), Instagram Stories (1080 × 1920), YouTube thumbnails (1280 × 720), presentation slides (1920 × 1080), posters (1080 × 1350 and A4), Facebook covers (1640 × 624), business cards (3.5 × 2 in at 300 dpi) and quote images. Each format opens at the correct size, so your design fits the platform without cropping.
You can also start from any custom size up to 8192 px on a side, or open a photo to edit it with text and graphics. Resize a design at any time from the top bar to adapt it to another format.
Tips for professional-looking designs
Limit each design to two fonts and a small color palette, and make the most important message clearly the largest. Strong hierarchy and plenty of empty space do more for a design than extra decoration.
Check readability at the size people will actually see it: zoom out until the canvas is phone-sized and make sure the headline still reads. Use the snap guides to align elements to the page center and to each other.
For print, export PDF at 2× or 3× size and keep text away from the edges. For social media, PNG keeps text sharpest, while JPG and WebP make smaller files.
Your designs stay on your device
Everything happens in your browser: photos you add are never uploaded, and exports are generated on your computer. Your work autosaves in this browser so you can close the tab and continue later.
To keep a backup or move a design to another computer, choose Save project (.json) from the File menu and open it again with Open project.
