Everything you can do with Designer
Your memories, with room for every idea
Design the same pages together, edit photos with Premium AI, keep Local-tab photos on your device in Chrome, Edge or Brave, and export from the editor. Explore all twelve features, from templates and photo framing to an adaptable workspace.
A shared memory, from first idea to finished file
Make it with your people, choose how your photos are used, and keep the tools for designing and finishing close at hand.
Together
Everyone designs the same memory at the same time. See each other's cursors and selections, leave comments in context, and save named versions at the moments that matter. Changes are saved as you work.
Private
In Chrome, Edge and Brave, photos imported through the Local tab stay on your device until you confirm an upload. Export those photos in your browser, without sending their pixels to your collaborators.
Powerful, with little effort
Remove backgrounds and unwanted objects with Premium AI. Build on templates, photo backgrounds when collections are enabled, frames and typography, with panels arranged around the way you work.
Finished in the editor
Check the page with rulers, print guides and preflight, then export PNG, JPEG or WebP at your chosen scale. When server rendering is configured, you can request a high-resolution file while you keep designing.
Twelve ways to make a memory your own
From the first shared idea to the exported file, these are the tools that help your photos and stories become designed pages.
Design together, in real time
Everyone who lived the memory can shape it, at the same moment.
Invite the people who were there and design the same pages together. See each collaborator's cursor, selection and edits as they happen, while a lock shows when someone is working on a shape. Undo and redo understand shared work, and every change is saved as you go. Your photos and stories come together in one design, without sending files back and forth or wondering which copy is the latest.
Premium AI image editing inside the canvas
Remove backgrounds and erase unwanted objects without leaving your design.
With Premium, choose between two background-removal models: Fast for a quick cutout and High Quality for finer edges. You can also erase an unwanted object by clicking to select it and refining the selection with more clicks or a brush. Review the result before you apply it; your original photo is not replaced without your approval. Both AI tools work inside the editor. Photos from the Local tab need a confirmed upload before either tool can use them.
Your Local-tab photos stay on your computer
Design with private photos in Chrome, Edge and Brave, without uploading them.
Open files or a folder through the Local tab and start designing with photos kept in your browser on this device. Their pixels and thumbnails are not sent to collaborators; the shared design stores only a reference, filename and dimensions. Search your local folders and reuse imported photos in other projects. If you choose to upload, a confirmation dialog shows exactly which selected images will leave the device.
From private photos to a finished file
Design with your own images and export a great result yourself.
Use rulers, trim, bleed and safe-area guides as you design, and put page numbers where you want them. Preflight points you to missing fonts, empty frames, low-resolution photos and content outside the bleed. Export a page, a spread or either side as PNG, JPEG or WebP at the scale you choose, with transparency for PNG. In Chrome, Edge and Brave, exports using Local-tab photos are made in your browser, so their pixels stay on your device.
High-resolution export on our servers
Need a bigger file? Let the server render while you keep designing.
When server rendering is configured, choose the format, quality and resolution up to 600 DPI, then follow the job's progress and download the file when it is ready. The server handles the rendering while you keep working in the editor. Local-tab photos need your confirmed upload first. Server output can differ from the live canvas, including fonts, so review the downloaded file before using it for print.
Memories of any length
From a single page to a whole story, ready to become a book when you want one.
Add, duplicate, reorder and rename pages, then move through the story with a thumbnail ladder. Design one page at a time or work on two-page spreads, with a shared background or a different one on each side. Choose digital, print or book sizes, set your own dimensions, and use Magic Resize to adapt the design to a new format. Books and prints can be an outcome; the memory is where you start.
Photos and design resources
Give every page its own setting, color and character.
Search thousands of photos for page backgrounds from Pixabay, Pexels, Unsplash and our own curated collection when each collection is enabled, and choose one for a whole page or either side of a spread. Save favorites and keep photographer attribution with the photo. Add solid colors or linear, radial and conic gradients, work with five ready-made palettes and twelve recent colors, and search the shape library by name, tag or category. Decorative, geometric and organic frames bring another way to make each photo belong.
Templates to start strong
Start from a finished layout and make it yours.
Browse and preview templates for single pages and spreads in editorial, portrait, journal, cover, minimal and scrapbook styles, then apply the layout you like. Designer asks before replacing a page that already has content; applying a template replaces that content rather than rearranging your existing photos into the new layout. Save your own designs as private templates and reuse them in other projects. Pages with Local-tab photos need those photos uploaded before they can be saved as templates.
Photo framing
Place every photo exactly how you want it.
Crop and reframe a photo inside its frame, or move the picture without moving the frame itself. Clip images into shapes and frame presets in decorative, geometric and organic styles, then add borders and filters to give each photo its mood. Fill a background with a photo, a solid color or a gradient, and bring the focus back to the people and details that make the memory yours.
Typography and precision
Text and layouts that look professionally set.
Browse and search fonts, return to recent choices, and save reusable text styles. Load your own font files for use in your browser; those files are not uploaded or shared with collaborators. Shape text with outlines, boxes, curved paths and right-to-left direction. Smart snapping, distance guides, a grid and distribution tools help keep the layout aligned, and you choose which helpers are on.
Comments and version history
Talk about the design on the design, and go back when you need to.
Leave comments on a page or a specific photo, reply where the decision belongs, and resolve the thread when you agree. Save named versions at important moments, preview them, and restore one if the design took a wrong turn. Feedback and milestones stay beside the memory you are making, so you can explore an idea and return to a version you chose to keep.
A workspace that adapts to you
Arrange the editor the way you work, not the way it ships.
Put the sidebar on the left or right, keep one pinned panel beside it and one floating panel on the opposite side, and drag each panel's edge to adjust its width. Keep all three open together so layers, properties and photos stay in reach. Turn rulers, guides, the grid and each snapping helper on or off. Your layout is remembered the next time you open the editor in the same browser.

Powerful, with little effort · Premium
Keep the memory. Remove the distraction.
Background removal and object removal, inside the editor with Premium.
Cut a person out of a busy background, or remove a stranger, a sign or a stray cable from the scene. Premium background removal offers Fast for quick decisions and High Quality when finer edges matter. Premium object removal starts with clicks to select what should go; refine the selection with more clicks or paint it with a brush, and the AI fills the area to blend with the photo. Every result opens for your review before it becomes part of the design. Your original is not replaced without your approval, and Local-tab photos need a confirmed upload before either AI tool can use them.
A workspace that adapts to you
Keep the tools you need open together
One sidebar, one pinned panel and one floating panel, each where you need it.
Put the tool sidebar on the left or right. Pin one panel beside it, float another on the opposite side of the canvas, and drag the edges to give each panel the width it needs. Keep the sidebar, pinned panel and floating panel open together, so layers, properties and photos stay in reach without one closing to open another. Switch rulers, guides, the grid and individual snapping helpers on or off as the design changes. The next time you open the editor in the same browser, your layout is remembered, ready for the way you like to work.
Bring your next memory to the canvas
Start with a page or a template, invite the people who were there, and shape the photos and stories together. When you are happy with the design, export the file from the editor.
