Canvas Designer
The Canvas Designer is a drag-and-drop visual editor for creating pixel-perfect layouts. Build full-screen compositions with images, text, videos, and live data widgets — no coding required.
Opening the Designer
Go to Designer in the sidebar, then click New Design. Choose a canvas preset (16:9 landscape, 9:16 portrait, 4:3 legacy) or enter custom dimensions.
Working with Layers
Every element on the canvas is a layer. Layers stack on top of each other; drag them in the Layers panel to change their order. You can lock, hide, or group layers.
Block Types
- Text — Add a text block, then style font family, size, weight, colour, and alignment. Supports multi-line and auto-scrolling ticker mode.
- Image — Drop an asset from the library or upload directly. Set fit mode to fill, contain, or cover.
- Video — Embed a video asset. Videos play muted by default.
- Widget — Insert live data blocks: Clock, Date, Weather, RSS ticker, QR code, or custom HTML snippet.
- Shape — Rectangles, circles, and lines with fill/stroke options.
Saving and Publishing
- Click Save (or press Ctrl+S / ⌘S) to save a draft.
- Click Publish to make the design available as an asset in your library for use in playlists.
Templates
Start from a pre-built template by clicking Templates at the top of the designer. Templates are available for common use cases: menu boards, welcome screens, KPI dashboards, and event signage.
