Adding a new template to a multi-page design
You can add a new template to an existing design from the side panel. If the new template has the same dimensions as the current one, you can choose to replace the current page or add it as a new page. If the dimensions differ, you can choose to replace or open it in a new tab.

- Edit text — double-click any text element on the canvas to edit it.
- Change font — select a text element and use the font selector in the top toolbar to browse and apply fonts.

Elements
Elements are design assets you can add to your canvas: icons, illustrations, shapes, stickers, and more.
- Browse elements — click Elements in the left panel and search or browse by category.
- Add to canvas — click any element to place it, or drag it to a specific position.
- Resize and reposition — drag the handles of any element to resize it, or drag the element itself to move it.

- Layer order — right-click any element and use Bring forward / Send backward to adjust the stacking order.
Images
Insert an image
- From Freepik — click Images in the left panel to search and add stock images directly from the Freepik library.

Edit an image on the canvas
- Crop — double-click the image to enter crop mode, then drag to reframe it.
- Replace — right-click the image and select Replace image to swap it out while keeping the same size and position.
- Filters and adjustments — select the image and click Edit image in the toolbar to access filters, brightness, contrast, and other adjustments.

You can generate AI images directly inside Design Editor and place them on your canvas without leaving the tool.

AI Presentation Maker
AI Presentation Maker generates a complete, multi-slide presentation from a text prompt. It creates the structure, content, and layout automatically — you can then edit any slide in Design Editor.

Describe your presentation
Enter a topic or brief description. You can also specify the number of slides, tone, and audience.
Generate
The AI will create a full presentation with slides, headings, and content.
