Getting started

Start from a template

Start from scratch

Pages

Designs can have multiple pages — useful for presentations, multi-page documents, or creating variations of the same design.

• Add a page — click + Add page at the bottom of the canvas.
• Duplicate a page — click the Duplicate page button in the upper toolbar to copy the current page.
• Reorder pages — drag pages in the page panel to change their order.
• Delete a page — right-click the page thumbnail and select Delete.

Adding a new template to a multi-page design

You can add a new template to an existing design from the side panel. If the new template has the same dimensions as the current one, you can choose to replace the current page or add it as a new page. If the dimensions differ, you can choose to replace or open it in a new tab.

Text and fonts

• Add a text box — click the Text option in the left panel and choose a heading, subheading, or body text style.
• Edit text — double-click any text element on the canvas to edit it.
• Change font — select a text element and use the font selector in the top toolbar to browse and apply fonts.
• Font size, weight, color — all text formatting options are available in the top toolbar when a text element is selected.

Elements

Elements are design assets you can add to your canvas: icons, illustrations, shapes, stickers, and more.

• Browse elements — click Elements in the left panel and search or browse by category.
• Add to canvas — click any element to place it, or drag it to a specific position.
• Resize and reposition — drag the handles of any element to resize it, or drag the element itself to move it.
• Change color — select an element and use the color picker in the toolbar to change its color (available for vector elements).
• Layer order — right-click any element and use Bring forward / Send backward to adjust the stacking order.

Images

Insert an image

• From Freepik — click Images in the left panel to search and add stock images directly from the Freepik library.
• Upload your own — click Uploads in the left panel and drag and drop an image file, or click to browse your computer.

Edit an image on the canvas

• Crop — double-click the image to enter crop mode, then drag to reframe it.
• Replace — right-click the image and select Replace image to swap it out while keeping the same size and position.
• Filters and adjustments — select the image and click Edit image in the toolbar to access filters, brightness, contrast, and other adjustments.

Generate images with AI

You can generate AI images directly inside Design Editor and place them on your canvas without leaving the tool.

AI Presentation Maker

AI Presentation Maker generates a complete, multi-slide presentation from a text prompt. It creates the structure, content, and layout automatically — you can then edit any slide in Design Editor.

AI Writer

AI Writer helps you write and rewrite text content inside your designs — useful for headlines, descriptions, calls to action, and any other copy.

• Generate copy — select a text element and click AI Writer in the toolbar. Describe what you need and let the AI draft it.
• Rewrite existing text — select text in a text box, open AI Writer, and choose a tone or style to rewrite it.
• Adjust length — ask AI Writer to shorten or expand the text to fit your layout.

Saving your design

Design Editor saves your work automatically as you go. You don't need to manually save — every change is stored in real time.

To rename your design, click the title at the top of the editor and type a new name.
