Using Creative Studio
Create and edit visual designs, manage pages and layers, understand automatic saving, and download or save finished images to Files.
Updated
Use Creative Studio to prepare product graphics, banners, logos, and social images inside Nevuto. Start with a size preset or custom dimensions, build your design, then export the result for its intended placement.
Open Creative Studio
Creative Studio must be installed for your store, and your staff account needs the relevant Creative Studio permissions. If the page says Creative Studio isn't installed, click Install, review the app's permissions, and confirm Install app. You can also manage the installation through Settings > Apps.
Open Creative Studio from the sidebar. The list shows your saved designs. Use search, orientation or size filters, sorting, and pagination when you have more designs. Open a design to continue editing it.
The initial demo list before the example was created. Select an image to enlarge it. The later screenshots use a separate Help Studio - Autumn collection design, a built-in template, and an existing sample illustration. Template text and imagery are demonstration content to replace before use in your store.
Choose a design size
- Click Create design.
- Search the available sizes or browse their categories. Hovering a preset previews its shape and dimensions.
- Click a preset to open the editor. The example uses Instagram Post — Portrait, 1080 × 1350 px.
- For custom dimensions, select Custom size, enter Width and Height, and click Create design. Each dimension must be between 16 and 8000 px.
Presets define the canvas size. A preset named for a video or reel does not change the current export formats into video: the editor exports still images or PDF.
Name the design and understand automatic saving
Enter a meaningful Design name in the editor header. Edits automatically save the editable design after a short pause. The first save creates its record in your design list.
Watch the header status: Unsaved changes, Saving…, then Saved. Wait for Saved before leaving, and reopen the design to check important changes. Ctrl+S or Command+S requests a document save; it does not export an image.
Important Automatic saving preserves the editable design. It does not update images in Files or publish the design to a product, theme, or social account. Use Export for a finished output, then select that file in the destination where you want to use it.
Start with a template and add content
Open Templates to browse layouts compatible with the design's aspect ratio. Clicking a template fills the active page when that page is empty and unlocked. If the page already contains elements or is locked, applying a template adds a new page instead of replacing that page's content.
The sample illustration is cropped by the template's arch frame. Review framing, text, and imagery for your own content before exporting.
Use the tool rail to build the page:
- Text adds headings, subheadings, body text, or preset combinations. Double-click text on the canvas to edit it; use its context controls for typography and alignment.
- Uploads shows images from Files and lets you upload new images. Click or drag an image onto the design. To fill a frame, select one unlocked frame first, then choose the image.
- Photos offers stock-photo search when its backing service is available.
- Elements adds visual elements such as shapes and graphics. Draw adds freehand content.
Select an element to see its relevant controls. Drag to position it and use the selection handles to adjust its size. Use Undo and Redo while working. Undo history is part of the editing session; do not treat it as a permanent version archive after reopening a design.
Arrange layers and resize the canvas
Open Layers to select individual elements, reorder them, or use Hide and Lock. A locked element cannot be manipulated in the same way as an unlocked one. Hidden content is left out of the rendered page.
Use Resize to choose another preset or enter custom dimensions. Review Scale content to the new size before applying the change. Scaling content and changing the canvas bounds have different results; inspect every page after resizing.
Manage multiple pages
Use Add page for a blank page or Duplicate page to start from a copy. The page strip switches between pages; Grid view shows an overview for selecting, reordering, and managing pages together. Double-click a page in the grid to return to its canvas.
Page controls also let you move, hide, or lock pages. All pages excludes hidden pages when there are visible pages; if every page is hidden, the current exporter falls back to all pages. Custom can explicitly include hidden pages. Review the selected page scope before downloading or saving images. The current design service supports up to 50 pages per design.
Export the finished design
Click Export and review:
- File type: PNG, JPG, WebP, or PDF.
- Quality, when offered for the selected format.
- Size: choose an available scale and check the resulting pixel dimensions. Larger canvases may offer fewer scale choices.
- Pages, for a design with multiple pages: All pages, This page, or Custom.
Choose the output destination:
- Download saves the output to your device. Multiple selected pages produce separate image downloads; PDF combines the selected pages into one document.
- Save to Files renders the selected pages into the store's file library and saves their associations with the design. It supports PNG, JPG, and WebP. PDF is download-only, so Save to Files is disabled for PDF.
Repeated Save to Files operations can replace the files already associated with those pages. If an associated file is used in your storefront, replacing it can change what customers see there. Use More actions > Save as copy when you need a separate design; a copy does not retain the original design's exported-file associations.
The current Save to Files limit is 10 MB per rendered image. Reduce output size or choose JPG/WebP if an image exceeds that limit. Review the resulting file in Files, then select it in the relevant product, page, or theme setting. Export alone does not place it in the storefront.
For this guide, one page was downloaded as a 1080 × 1350 PNG. Save to Files, file replacement, and storefront placement were not performed.
Use AI tools when appropriate
Select one unlocked image or filled frame and open AI tools. Supported controls include background removal, upscaling, scene generation, relighting, reframing, face restoration, variations, and inpainting. Availability depends on the selected content and the store's AI setup. Text, shapes, empty frames, and unsupported image sources do not provide the same AI editing target.
Review the selected image, any prompt or settings, and the resulting output before using it. AI operations were not run for these screenshots.
Duplicate or remove a design
Use the design list's row actions to edit, duplicate, or delete a design. Selected rows also offer bulk deletion with a confirmation. Deleting a design does not automatically delete images previously saved from it to Files.
