DesignBat

Design editor

A design editor that keeps up with your ideas

Start from a blank page at any size or from a template. Place text, photos, shapes, icons and charts, then move, snap, align and group them on a canvas that pans and zooms smoothly.

The DesignBat design editor with a poster and its layers panel

A canvas built for layout

Rulers, guides and smart guides show you where things line up. Snap to edges, centres and the grid, then align and distribute a whole selection in one click.

  • Pan and zoom freely, fit to screen in one key
  • Multi select, group, lock and reorder in the layers panel
  • Flip, rotate, opacity, blend modes and corner radius on anything

Text that looks designed

Rich text with any family, size, weight, letter spacing and line height, lists and alignment. Add effects such as shadow, lift, hollow, outline, neon, glitch, echo, splice or a background band, curve a headline or set it on a path.

  • A library of open licence fonts plus your own uploaded fonts
  • Saved text styles and font pairings
  • Upper, lower and title case without retyping

Elements for every kind of design

Shapes and lines with arrow heads and editable points, about two thousand icons, stickers and illustrations, charts with editable data, tables, QR codes, photo frames and grids.

  • Solid colours, gradients and patterns as fills
  • Drop shadow, outline and glow effects
  • Photo frames and masks that crop by shape

Questions.

Does it work on tablets and phones?

Yes. On small screens the panels open as sheets and you can pan and zoom with two fingers.

Can a design have more than one page?

Yes. Add, duplicate, reorder and hide pages. Multi page designs export as a PDF or as a zip of images.

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

The usual ones: copy, paste, duplicate, undo, redo, group, select all, arrows to nudge and Delete, plus shortcuts for zoom and tools.

Is my work saved automatically?

Yes. Designs save as you work, keep a version history and a copy goes to your OfficeBats Drive.
