Find the Right Template
You can find the template you prefer first. We have made the selection process as easy as possible for you:
- You can scroll through the hundreds of templates according to their respective formats - Infographic, Presentation, Posters, Reports, and Flyers, Social Media, and Custom Sizes.
- If you know the name of the theme you are looking for, you can use the search bar.
- You can also filter through themes of similar topics to look for more template options that relate with what you were looking for.
Preview or Use Template
You can first Preview the template to make sure of your choice, and if so, click Create to load the selected template. Once you arrive at the editor, you can make edits to text by double-clicking the text box.
You can make use of our Textframe tool to make stand-out text and titles with ready-to-use graphics, or explore our Rich Text Editor for line and character spacing, bullet points, and one-word formatting.
Insert Graphics
Just click or drag-and-drop the graphics you need from the menu to your canvas. There are thousands of icons and images available in our libraries! Use the search tool or browse through them by categories to make things easier.
You can also customize how your graphics look by changing the colors, resizing and rotating them. Our Photoframe allows you to drag and drop your photos into readily-made designs that instantly mask and pair your photos with text - so don’t forget to make use of it!

Common Questions
How do I choose a background?
To modify the background:
First, click to select a block.
Next, click Background in the left side panel.
Then, select a pattern or texture under Background Image. You can also change the background color (found above the patterns/textures) and decide on a color that complements your content!
You might find the background pattern or texture appears to not show (typically the grey ones under "background-image"), but please note you must choose a color to activate any of these "grey' backgrounds so that the pattern shows "above" the chosen color. You can also adjust the opacity on either the color picker or on the actual background itself in our toolbar.
You can also add your own image as a background.
