The short version

Most people who make things juggle several apps: one for designs, one for video, one for PDFs, one for slides, and sometimes CAD or 3D software on top. Each has its own account, its own files and its own bill.

Designz puts those editors in one place. You open a design, a video or a PDF from the same home screen, keep one set of files and one brand kit, and share any of them with someone to work on together.

What you can do with it

Designs and photos: posters, social posts, flyers, photo edits, painting, type and simple animation. More about the design editor
Video: cut clips on a timeline, add titles, music and captions, and export MP4. More about the video editor
Presentations: build slide decks, open and save PowerPoint files, and present full screen. More about presentations
Documents and notes: write and format documents, open Word files, and keep quick notes and checklists. More about documents
PDFs: change the words in a PDF, fill in forms, sign, highlight, reorder, merge and split. More about the PDF editor
CAD and 3D: draw precise 2D plans with dimensions, and build 3D models you can export for 3D printing. More about CAD and 3D
Photo tools: remove backgrounds, erase things from photos, and make many versions of a design from a spreadsheet. More about the photo tools
Edit together: share a file and edit it live with other people. More about editing together
Portfolio: show your best work on a public page with its own link. More about portfolio pages

Who it’s for

People who make things for fun: posters for a band, birthday videos, school projects.
Students and teachers, who need slides, documents, PDFs and design work in one place. Teachers can join the teacher beta.
Small businesses and creators who make their own posts, videos and flyers.
Teams that want shared brand colours, fonts and files. Team features are coming after the beta.

How Designz is different

Every editor in one account. Designs, video, slides, documents, PDFs, CAD and 3D share one home screen and one set of files.
Editing first. The tools are there to make your own thing, not only to fill in a template.
No credits or add-ons. What’s in a plan is in the plan. Nothing to top up.
A free plan with every editor. Paid plans will add more storage and bigger exports, not unlock the basics.
Nothing to install. It runs in a browser tab, so it works on a school Chromebook as well as a work laptop.

Where things stand

Designz opened a private beta in autumn 2026 and is letting people in in small groups. Testers use every editor free, get 50% off a paid plan at launch and keep a Founding member badge.

Designz launches on Product Hunt on November 12, 2026. See Designz on Product Hunt.
