What each one does

Canvas Design

  • Generates posters, art prints, and visual layouts as PNG or PDF files
  • Creates designs based on aesthetic movements like Brutalism, minimalism, or chromatic systems
  • Produces museum-quality work with strong visual composition and minimal text
  • Interprets your concept into a sophisticated design philosophy, then expresses it visually
  • Delivers one-page visual artifacts suitable for printing or digital use

Theme Factory

  • Provides 10 ready-made visual themes with color palettes and font pairings
  • Applies a chosen theme to slides, docs, reports, or HTML pages automatically
  • Shows you a visual showcase of all themes before you pick one
  • Generates custom themes on-the-fly if none of the presets match your needs
  • Ensures consistent colors, fonts, and styling across your entire artifact

When to pick each one

Reach for Canvas Design when…

Reach for Theme Factory when…
