Studio is a layered design editor: everything on the canvas is an object you can select, move and restyle. These are the panels.
Adding things
The panel rail runs down the left of the editor, in this order:
| Panel | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Templates | Ready-made design layouts to start from. See Start from a template |
| Text | Headlines and text elements. Font, size, weight, alignment and colour |
| Images | Photos, graphics and visuals — stock photography, searchable |
| Elements | Shapes, icons and stickers |
| Draw | Freehand drawing tools |
| Uploads | Your own files. See Uploads and stock images |
| Brand kit | Your saved brand assets |
| Background | The canvas background — a colour, or a generated one |
Styling what’s selected
Select an object and the toolbar changes to match what it is. Text gets font controls; an image gets image controls.
| Fill colour | The object’s colour |
| Border | Border style and weight |
| Radius | Rounded corners |
| Opacity | How transparent it is |
| Filters | Photo filters on an image |
| Crop | Trim an image |
| Flip | Mirror horizontally or vertically |
| Position | Layer order and alignment |
| Replace image | Swap the image, keeping its size and position |
Replace image is the one worth knowing about. When you’re producing the same layout with different products, replacing keeps everything else exactly as it was rather than making you re-place a new image.
Drawing
Draw puts a freehand brush on the canvas. Useful for annotations and highlights.
Your brand
Studio reads your brand’s logos and colours from the brand profile, so they’re available while you design and generated designs stay consistent with what you publish. A brand with no visual identity filled in gets generic results here. See Set up your brand.
AI
Studio has its own AI tools for images — erasing, extending, replacing part of an image, removing a background, and generating one from a prompt. See Edit an image with AI and Generate images in Studio.
There’s also AI for text layers — rewrite, shorten, expand, change tone, translate — the same actions as the post editor, applied to a text object rather than a caption.
