What works the same as Canva

  • A design editor with a tools rail on the left and a properties panel that follows your selection.
  • Shapes, frames, tables, 9 chart types, QR codes and icons on the canvas.
  • Text effects, font pairings and your own fonts.
  • Start from one of 140 templates, or keep brand kits with your own colors, fonts and logos.
  • Export to PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, PPTX, MP4 or GIF with no watermark, or save a portable .hyc file.

What is missing

  • It is still before version 1.0 and changes fast.
  • You need a free account to use it.

How to get started

  1. Click Open in browser, then sign up for free to start designing in the hosted studio.
  2. To run it on your own computer, download the file for your system and unpack it. You need a PostgreSQL database.
  3. Run ./hycanvas service start. A setup wizard asks for your database and storage.
