Main Features of the Corporate Digital Signage Template Editor Canvas App
1. Portrait or Landscape – you can have any!
Our canvas app supports both – landscape as well as portrait orientation. You can select the one you need and get started. The in-built templates that we have in the app are segregated based on the screen orientation so it becomes easy for you to select as per your need.
2. Brand it as you need it!
With the canvas editor app, you can easily add the brand logo, edit the template matching to the theme of your company and also change the background color, fonts or text to your preference. The layout and design has been set for you, all you need to do is start using the app as you need.
3. Save a design for future use
How cool it is that you get to save all the edits to a template that you make and save it as a new one for your future use. Other departments in your company can as well get their hands on the template easily and use it. A single template can be used as many times as needed by different users in an organisation.
4. Create a new design altogether
If you are looking to create something unique and specific that you have in mind, then you don’t need to worry about where to start. You can start with a blank canvas – choose the background color, the image, the font or anything on the editor as you need in the app. The best part is you can edit it anytime to your liking. This offers more creativity and freedom to design.
