Editor basics: toolbar, tools, zoom and sides

The screen at a glance

• At the top, the toolbar: Undo and Redo, the Simple / Pro switch, Front and Back, Backgrounds, Library, zoom, New design, 3D, Shortcuts, Assistant and More.
• On the right of the toolbar, the print check (✓ Ready to print or the number of things to check), the save state (Autosaved) and the Order button.
• On the left, the tool rail: select, hand (pan), text, shape, QR code, barcode, ID photo and the library. Hover a tool to see its name.
• In the middle, the design. The magenta line is the cut line, where the product is trimmed; keep important text well inside it.
• On the right, Properties (the selected object) and Layers (everything on the current side), then Guides & alignment and other panels.

Simple and Pro

The editor opens in Simple mode, with the tools most people need. Pro adds the paint bucket and eyedropper, working colours, blocks, symbols, a format control and the Bleed, Trim, Safe area and Rulers toggles. The app remembers your choice.

Zoom, pan, undo

• Zoom with Zoom in and Zoom out (the + and − buttons), the percentage menu (Fit, Zoom to selection, 50 to 400 %) or the mouse wheel.
• Move around with the hand tool, or hold Space and drag. Shift + wheel scrolls left and right.
• Undo (Ctrl + Z) and Redo (Ctrl + Shift + Z) step back and forward through your changes.

Front and back

Products printed on two sides have a Front and a Back. Switch with the buttons in the toolbar; the Layers panel always shows the side you are on. Whether a product is printed on one or two sides is chosen with Sides in the catalog (see Choose a product).

Keyboard shortcuts

The Shortcuts button in the toolbar shows the full list, including the Pro tools.

Saving

There is no save button: every change is saved automatically and the toolbar shows Autosaved. Without an account the design is kept in this browser; with an account it is also saved to the cloud. See Create an account and save your projects.
