🎨 Palette Help & Feature Guide

Canvas size & background

1. Pick a preset from the size dropdown at the top — logo, Instagram post, YouTube thumbnail, and more.
2. Click the color swatch to set a solid background color.
3. Check Transparent for no background at all — essential for logos and stickers.

Gradient background

1. Click the gradient icon next to the background color swatch.
2. Pick one of the ready-made two-color gradient presets.

The background switches out of solid-color mode automatically.

Add & style text

1. Click the T button in the left rail to drop a text box onto the canvas.
2. Type your wording into the Text field in the right-hand panel.
3. Change the font, size, and color from that same panel, then drag the text anywhere on the canvas.

Curved text & letter spacing

1. Select a text element, then drag the Curve slider — positive arcs it upward, negative arcs it downward.
2. Type an exact value in the number field beside the slider, or set it to 0 to go back to perfectly straight.
3. Use the Spacing slider to open up letter spacing independently of the curve.

Text style presets

1. Click the small caret next to the Add Text button to open Text Styles.
2. Pick a ready-made heading, subheading, or body style to instantly apply a matching font, size, and weight.

Banner & phrase presets

1. Open the same Text Styles flyout and scroll to Banners & Phrases.
2. Click a ready-to-use phrase (Happy Birthday!, SALE, Thank You, and more) — curve, color, and font come pre-set.
3. Edit the wording afterward if you need something custom.

Text outline

1. With text selected, check Outline in the right panel.
2. Pick an outline color and drag the width slider.

Useful for text placed over a busy background or photo.

Add & style shapes

1. Click the shape icon in the left rail and pick one — rectangle, circle, triangle, star, heart, or arrow.
2. Set its fill color, add an outline, round its corners, or adjust opacity from the right panel.

Freehand draw

1. Click the pen icon in the left rail.
2. Click and drag anywhere on the canvas to draw a freehand stroke.
3. Pick a color and brush size from the toolbar above the canvas, then click Done drawing.

Straight line tool

1. Click the line icon, then drag from one point to another.
2. Hold Shift while dragging to snap the line to 45° angles.

Curve (bezier) tool

1. Click the curve icon in the left rail.
2. Drag in one smooth motion, bulging the path as you go — Palette fits a smooth curve through it.

Great for swooshes, ribbon banners, and underlines.

Graphics library

1. Click the graphics icon in the left rail to browse arrows, chevrons, and other ready-made icons.
2. Click one to add it to the canvas.

Stickers

1. Click the sticker icon for a grid of emoji-style stickers.
2. Click one to drop it onto the canvas, then resize as needed.

Add images

1. Click the image icon to upload a photo from your device.
2. Use the built-in AI background remover if you need to cut out the subject.

Nothing is uploaded to a server — your photo is processed entirely in your browser.

QR codes

1. Click the QR icon and type the text or URL the code should point to.
2. Optionally set custom colors, dot/eye styles, or a center logo.
3. Click Add QR Code.

Monogram

Move, resize & rotate

1. Click any element to select it, then drag from its middle to move it.
2. Drag a corner handle to resize it.
3. Drag the small circle above it to rotate it freely.

Multi-select, align & distribute

1. Shift-click (or Ctrl-click) two or more elements to select them together — or on touchscreen and mobile, tap the Multi-Select toggle button in the top bar or press and hold any layer.
2. Use the toolbar that appears above the canvas to align them (left/center/right, top/middle/bottom) or distribute spacing evenly.

Grouping

1. With 2 or more elements multi-selected, click Group.
2. Move, resize, or rotate the whole group as one unit.
3. Click Ungroup to split the elements back apart.

Masking

1. Place a shape on top of the element you want to clip.
2. Shift-click both elements so they're selected together.
3. Click Mask — the top shape becomes the clip boundary and is consumed into the element below.
4. Click Remove Mask in the right panel any time to undo it.

Layers panel

1. The Layers list on the right shows every element, topmost first.
2. Reorder with the up/down arrows, lock an element in place, or delete it directly from the list.

Undo, duplicate, lock & delete

1. Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z undo and redo any change.
2. Click an element to reveal its own floating toolbar — duplicate, lock, delete, and reorder buttons.

Save & reopen a project

1. Click the save icon to download your whole design as a project file.
2. Click the open icon any time to load one back in and keep editing — or send the file to someone else to continue it.

Export & Logo Kit

1. Choose PNG or SVG from the format dropdown — PNG for photos and social posts, SVG for a fully scalable vector logo.
2. Set a transparent background if needed, then click Download.
3. Use Export Logo Kit for a one-click bundle of favicon, app icon, and social avatar sizes.

Every export is clean — no watermark, ever.
