"Creativity is only a tap away"

Canvas Designer lets novices and professionals alike compose designs from a variety of graphical and artistic elements and colors. Open a template and simply create your unique designs in seconds with one tap, or dig deeper into the settings for full control.

Create your own library and use as many elements as you like in your designs.
- ARCS draws curves in different shades
- FADE creates smooth backgrounds in different colors
- CLOUDS creates skies or abstract color formations
- BOKEH looks like rain has fallen on your camera lens
- PARTICLES produce endless beautiful line art creations
- STARS create random star fields, nebulae and suns
- EFFECTS applies common filters (sepia, blur, etc)
- LINES and bands and create shines and landscapes
- PLANTS draws a variety of plants, leaves and flowers
- PHOTO use your own images from your photo album
- RAYS adds light beams and shines to your design
- SHAPES fill your screen in different variations

Each element has a set of properties that controls its appearance. This allows you to modify and fine-tune every aspect of your design.

A key-feature of Canvas Designer is property randomization. Every property can accept from-to values resulting in different design variations every time you tap refresh.

Other features are:
- Create designs using the new Design Wizard
- Get even more designs from our online library
- Define colour sets and assign them to any element
- Control positioning/distribution of every element
- Control transparency/blend mode for your layers
- Save your designs into the My Designs library
- Send or share your designs via email
- Save your design on your device and use it as a wallpaper

If youre a graphics professional and would like to grab individual design elements, Canvas Designer emails designs in high-quality 32-bit PNG format (including transparency), ready to be imported as a layer into the graphics program of your choice.

IMPORTANT NOTE (please read before you buy and rate):

Please be aware that even with the new and fast layer preview mode, Canvas Designer uses high-quality vector-based drawing (similar to a professional-grade illustration program) and to render a high-resolution design it its highest quality may take a while to complete. Also, even this app comes with a selection of pre-fabricated designs (templates, new design wizard, online design library) the power of Canvas Designer is to dig deeper, adding your own layers and explore the settings. This is not an easy app to master but once you do, you will be rewarded with truly unique designs composed exactly the way you like them.
