Images, type and vectors.
In one design tool.

Compose with layers and masks.

Combine, paint, retouch and relight images. Keep masks and color adjustments editable.

• Layers, folders, blend modes and opacity
• Editable masks and background removal
• Adjustment layers, filters, 3D relighting, shadows and glows
• Linked artwork you can refresh from its source

Set type and edit vectors.

Work with text, shapes and paths you can keep editing in your project.

• Live text with installed fonts and mixed character styles
• Kerning, tracking, baseline and line spacing
• Editable shapes and paths with fills and strokes
• Linear and radial gradient fills

Design across artboards.

Develop several sizes and variations in one project.

• Multiple artboards and canvas presets
• Rulers, guides, snapping and alignment
• Exact position, size and rotation values
• Export individual artboards or combine them into a multipage PDF

Collect references and reuse artwork.

Keep source material in moodboards and reusable artwork in your local library.

• Moodboards with images, saved links, notes and color swatches
• Arrange references in a grid
• Local asset collections, search and type filters
• Add assets to a moodboard or insert original artwork into the canvas

Find images by their contents.

Search indexed descriptions, tags and text detected in your images.

• Search filenames and your own descriptions and tags
• Readable-text search without the optional description model
• Optional image descriptions and tag suggestions after an explicit model download
• Image analysis runs on your Mac without uploading your images

Create artwork on the canvas.

Add images, gradient backgrounds and device mockups from the Create panel.

• Apple Image Playground on supported Macs with Apple Intelligence enabled; availability depends on macOS version, language and region
• Editable mesh gradient backgrounds
• Device mockups linked to a source artboard
• Blank layers and artwork from your asset library

Edit with your assistant.

Work with ChatGPT or Claude through canvas notes and your installed, signed-in CLI. Choose a model, preview edits and reopen saved conversations. External MCP clients share the native editing tools; the provider’s data-handling policies apply.

• Inspect artboards, layers and editable document objects
• Create and format text, shapes and vector paths
• Change placement, masks and layer appearance through supported editor tools
• Export artwork using the operations exposed by your installed app

Import artwork. Export your designs.

Work with common image, vector and document formats.

• Import JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF and WebP.
• Import compatible PSD and SVG content as editable layers. Unsupported content may use an explicit raster fallback.
• Export PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP, SVG, PDF and layered raster PSD.
• PSD exports retain raster layers and supported layer structure. Text and vector objects are rasterized.
• Compatible text and vectors stay native in PDF and SVG. Some effects and composites require raster fallbacks.

PDF editing supports ordinary horizontal text and selected page, link and annotation operations. It is not full PDF editing, OCR or redaction. Import and export support varies by format and content.
