Open Designer from the sidebar and tap New design. On a phone, tap the menu button (≡) at the top right first.

Start a design

  1. Type a Headline and an optional Supporting line.

  2. Under Size, pick a size, such as YouTube Thumbnail or Instagram Feed post (4:5).

  3. Under Layout, pick Bold thumbnail, Split panel, Quote post, Announcement, Minimal or Blank. Previews use your brand colours, fonts and logo.

  4. Tap the create button, which shows the size, such as Create 1280×720 design.

Edit it

  • Above the canvas, tap Text, Rectangle, Ellipse or Image to add a layer. Logo appears when your brand kit has a logo.

  • Select a layer to change its font, size, colour, outline, drop shadow, highlight box, corners, fade, rotation and opacity.

  • With nothing selected, or after tapping Background under Layers, set the background colour, choose an image with Darken and Blur, or describe one under Generate a background and tap Generate.

  • Under Layers, tap the eye icon to hide a layer, or the lock icon to lock it.

  • On a computer, double-click text to edit it. Arrow keys nudge, Delete removes, Ctrl+D duplicates, Ctrl+Z undoes.

Save and download

Designs save automatically. Tap PNG to download, or Save to Assets to keep a copy for posts and videos. On a phone these show as the download and save icons at the top right.
