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.
Design your memories with the people who lived them — together and in real time, with Premium AI that removes backgrounds and unwanted objects inside the canvas, and with your photos kept on your own computer if you prefer. When the design is ready, export it yourself, without leaving the editor.
Local photos: use the Local tab in Chrome, Edge or Brave. Photos stay on this device until you confirm uploading selected images.
The shared demo, when available, uses email-code sign-in. Other visitors can see and change the design. Local photos, page controls, version history and HD export are not available in the demo; AI tools still require Premium.
Start a time capsule to keep and design your memories.
Make it with your people, choose how your photos are used, and keep the tools for designing and finishing close at hand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
From the first shared idea to the exported file, these are the tools that help your photos and stories become designed pages.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
From a single page to a whole digital story.
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. Export a digital design that keeps the photos and words together.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Invite the people who were there and design the same pages together. You see their cursors, selections and edits as they happen, while a lock shows when someone is working on a shape. Shared undo and redo fit the way a group works, and changes are saved as you go. Keep feedback on a page or photo with comments and replies, then save named versions you can preview and restore at the moments that matter.
When available, the demo uses email-code sign-in; others can see and edit. It hides page controls and version history, excludes Local photos and HD export, and still requires Premium for AI.
In Chrome, Edge and Brave, open a folder or choose files through the Local tab and design with those photos without uploading them. Their pixels and thumbnails stay in your browser on this device. Search local folders and reuse imported photos in other projects; the shared design stores a reference, filename and dimensions rather than the photos themselves.
Collaborators on other devices do not receive those pixels, and page previews, saved versions and shared views do not carry them. Browser exports can use your local copies. If you want to use Premium AI tools or a configured server HD export, a confirmation dialog shows exactly which selected images will be uploaded before they leave the device.
Rulers, trim, bleed and safe-area guides show where the page ends as you design. Place page numbers yourself, and use preflight to find missing fonts, empty frames, low-resolution photos or content outside the bleed. Export a page, a whole spread or either side as PNG, JPEG or WebP at your chosen scale, with transparency for PNG. Local-tab photos in Chrome, Edge and Brave can be exported in your browser without uploading their pixels.
When server rendering is configured, request a high-resolution file up to 600 DPI and keep designing while it renders. Follow its progress and download when it is ready. Local photos need a confirmed upload first, and server output can differ from the live canvas, including fonts. Review the exported file before using it for print.
Begin with the people, photos and stories that matter. Design a single page or a longer digital story. For a special reveal, create a Time Capsule and choose when or how those pages open.
Start a time capsule, then open its pages in Designer. Shape the photos and stories on your own or together, and choose how the memories will be discovered. Free includes limited storage and a selection of templates. AI tools require Premium.
