Design Studio is an AI design partner. Describe a poster, a video thumbnail, a social post, a slide, a banner, a link preview or an app screen, and the AI designer builds the whole design as editable layers at a fitting size. Then change any layer by hand, or ask for changes in words.

Make a design

In the studio, open Create (or All tools) and choose Design studio. A blank page opens as Untitled design, with the AI designer panel on the left and its prompt at the bottom.
Describe what you want in the prompt (Describe what to design…). You can also start from a suggestion: A poster, A video thumbnail or An app screen. A suggestion fills the prompt for you to finish; it doesn’t send.
Press Enter or the round send button. Shift+Enter adds a new line.
While the designer works you’ll see Designing… with a timer. The design can’t be edited until the answer arrives. A poster or thumbnail usually takes 20 to 40 seconds.
The design lands change by change. An AI pointer moves across the page and names each layer as it’s added or changed.

The conversation keeps a record of each answer, for example A new design or 4 changes, with what changed: added, reworded, restyled, picture or removed. Press Undo beside an answer to take the whole answer back, as long as you haven’t changed the design since.

Refine with words

Once a design exists, the suggestions become Bolder headline, Another palette and Resize for a story. Ask for anything else in your own words, for example “Make the headline shorter and move the date to the top.”

To change one layer, click it on the page first. The prompt then asks What should change about this layer? and shows an About [layer] tag. Remove the tag to ask about the whole design again.

Design from a website

Put a web address in your request, for example “A launch poster for example.com”. The designer reads the site first and takes:

its name, title, description, headings and calls to action,
one accent colour (the logo’s, or the site’s declared theme colour),
the logo and up to three pictures, which are also added to your Assets.

The conversation shows that the site is being read, then Read [site name]. A site already read for this design isn’t read again. The designer only states what the site states; it won’t invent prices or claims.

Edit by hand

The rail on the right has four panels:

Panel	What you can do
Layers	See every layer as a tree. Show all layers expands it.
Layer	Edit the selected layer. For words: the text, Type size, Weight, Alignment, Colour, Background, Corner radius and Opacity. For pictures: Choose a picture, Choose another picture or Take the picture away. Also Move earlier, Move later, Duplicate and Delete.
Colours and type	Change the Artboard colour, and the colours and typefaces Shared by the layers. Changing a shared colour changes every layer that uses it.
Size	Choose a preset, or type any width and height from 64 to 4,096 px.

To type on the page, double-click a words layer (or select it and press Enter). Click away to keep your typing, or press Esc to cancel.

Zoom with the − and + buttons; the percentage button fits the page to the window.

Shortcuts

Keys	Action
`Ctrl`/`⌘`+`Z`	Undo
`Shift`+`Ctrl`/`⌘`+`Z` or `Ctrl`/`⌘`+`Y`	Redo
`Delete` or `Backspace`	Remove the selected layer
`Esc`	Deselect

You have 40 steps of undo while the design is open.

Export

Press Export PNG at the top right and choose 1× (the design’s size) or 2× (double). The PNG downloads at once, and a copy is added to your Assets.

Backup downloads the design as a .muvomi.json file, which you can restore from Projects › Import backup. A backup doesn’t include the pictures.

Designs save automatically about a second after each change. The top bar shows Saved, Saving…, Unsaved changes or Not saved.

Saved conversations

Each design keeps its own conversation. Reopen the design and the conversation is there, with Earlier conversation to load older turns. If you reload while a request is being made, you’ll see Check for its answer.

Cost

Each request uses 10 credits. The prompt shows the price before you send, and the send button is disabled if you don’t have enough credits. Reading a website is included. A request that fails or ends without a design gives its credits back. Editing by hand, undo, export and backup are free.

Limits

A request is 3 to 2,000 characters. One request per design runs at a time.
A page holds up to 1,600 layers and 24 pictures.
The designer works with type, shapes, line icons and your pictures. It doesn’t generate photos or illustrations; use AI Image for those and add them to the design.
Layers can’t be dragged to move or resize. Use Move earlier and Move later, or ask the designer.
PNG is the only export format.
