Every file is an infinite canvas. Frames are the pieces you export, present, or share.

Start from a preset

Presets set up frame sizes for common jobs, like social posts, slides, app screens, and print. A preset is only a starting point. You can add any kind of frame to any file.

Add frames and shapes

  • Press F for the Frame tool and drag on the canvas.
  • Press R for rectangles, O for ellipses, and L for lines.
  • Press T to add text.

Place images

Press I to place an image, or drag files straight onto the canvas. Photos stay editable, so you can adjust, mask, and retouch them later.

Fit the view

Press Shift 1 to zoom to your selection.
