Calisto Studio

Design everything your business publishes.

A full design editor: nineteen canvas sizes, templates, layers, animation and print-ready export. What you finish is already an asset in your account, so the lobby screen, the campaign and the website can use it without a download.

What Will You Make

Nineteen presets in three families.

Every canvas opens at the right pixels for where it is going, so nothing has to be resized after the fact. Any width by any height is a first-class option too.

For the feed

Instagram posts and stories, Facebook posts and covers, an X post, a LinkedIn banner, a YouTube thumbnail and a TikTok frame.

Eight social sizes

For the printer

A4 either way up, A3, US Letter, a business card and a rack card, at 300dpi so the thing you send to print is the thing that comes back.

Six print sizes

For screens you own

A presentation, an email header, and the two nobody else can offer you: a lobby screen and a kiosk portrait, sized for the Display screens and Kiosks this platform already runs.

Four digital sizes
Templates

Or start from one somebody already drew.

A gallery you browse by size, because size is the thing that has to be right, then filter across twelve content categories. Each card is a master template with a skin toggle, so you choose the look before you open it. Selecting one opens the editor with everything in place.

The Controls

Everything you expect from a real editor is where you expect it.

The controls a design tool is expected to have.

Layers and multi-page documents

Stacking and paging, both.

Undo, redo, align and arrange

The edits you make constantly.

Rulers, snapping and shortcuts

With a command palette over the top.

Insert

Six things you can put on the canvas, and none of them need a second app.

Text, shapes, images, vector artwork, QR codes and product mockups, all from a permanent palette in the editor. Stock photos from Pexels, Pixabay and Unsplash search inline without leaving the canvas. QR codes are built inside the editor with your brand colours. Product mockups composite the design onto a t-shirt, a mug, a phone case or a billboard.

Home

Carry on where you left off.

Studio opens on what you were working on, not an empty canvas.

Media Library

Find a picture without leaving the canvas.

Your account's images, searchable, draggable straight onto the design.

Nothing you upload here is a Studio file. Designs, exports and every image you place are written into the shared account store, which is the store every other app reads.

So a photo uploaded in Studio is already in the media picker of every app that has one, and what the team filed last month is already in your sidebar. Storage is the account quota, read live, not a design-tool allowance nobody is watching.

Creative Tools

Keep it on brand, then on a product.

Three tools sit in the Studio sidebar on their own screens: the brand kit you keep open while you design, the mockup generator, and the QR builder.

Studio · Creative Tools
Bulk Create
Generate many designs at once from a CSV or spreadsheet: merge your data into a template.
QR Code Generator
Create QR codes with custom colours, sizes, and error correction. Download as PNG or SVG.
Mockup Generator
Place your designs on product mockups: T-shirts, mugs, phones, posters, and more.
Brand Kit
Your brand colours, fonts, and logos — edit them right here in Studio.
AI Tools

Ask it to do the fiddly part.

An AI panel docked inside the design editor. Every tool returns a result you place on the canvas. The panel is switched on per account and simply is not there until it is.

Copy Generation

Describe what you need, set a tone and a channel, get headline and body variants.

Layout Review

A critique of the spacing, hierarchy and readability on the canvas, with specific suggestions.

Image Review

Select an image and get a visual critique.

Generate Image

Describe an image and get a PNG.

Remove Background

The subject is isolated on transparency.

Erase

Mask a region and it is filled in.

Expand

Extend an image past its borders, with the new margins generated to continue it.

Animation

A design that moves, made in the same place as one that does not.

Motion is a property of the objects you already drew, not a different product with a different timeline and a different file to reconcile.

Bulk Create

Make two hundred of them from one template.

Data merge for design: the same layout, rendered once per row of a spreadsheet.

Pick a Template

Any design in your library. The tool finds the placeholder tokens in its text.

Provide Data

Upload a CSV or paste rows. The tool parses the columns.

Map Columns

Matching names map themselves. Adjust the rest by hand.

Preview

The substituted values as a table, and row one rendered live on the canvas.

Generate

Up to 200 designs, each saved to your library, exportable as PNG in one batch.

Export

Send it out at the size it needs.

PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF, web at 72dpi or print at 300dpi, with transparent backgrounds and print-ready bleed, crop and registration marks. Or skip the file: hand the design straight to a campaign, a screen or a website, each of which then shows the live design rather than a copy of it. Fix a typo in the editor and you have fixed it on the wall.

Whiteboards

Think it through before you design it.

A blank space to think on before anything has to look finished. A grid view lists every board you have with its title and thumbnail.

On brand by default

The canvas already knows what your brand is.

A standalone editor can store your hex codes. It cannot tell you the poster going to the printer on Friday is off brand, because it has never seen your brand. Here the check runs on the canvas, which is the only place a mistake is still cheap to fix.

Studio does not keep a copy of your brand. It reads the live one, for the account you are signed into. Change the brand centrally at lunchtime and the canvas you open after lunch is already the new one.

Colours on the panel

The palette sits in the sidebar with its roles, so a fill is a brand decision rather than a hex you remembered.

Fonts already loaded

Text presets drop in at the brand faces. Nothing is styled to a default and corrected later.

Logos in place

Every approved mark, in the versions that were approved.

Together

Design is a team sport, and the file knows it.

Viewer bubbles in the editor header show who else is in the document. There is no Studio seat list, because it is the same sign-in as the rest of your business.

Live co-editing

Two people, one canvas, no overwrite.

Edits sync between everyone in the document as they happen, merged rather than last-write-wins. Two people on the same poster at the same time is a normal Tuesday, not a recovery operation.

Sharing

Share it with a person, not a link you have to remember.

The share dialog completes people from your contacts as you type, under the same personal-data rules the rest of the platform applies. Typing an email address by hand always works.

No setup cost. Pay when you start using.

  • Transparent backgrounds on PNG and SVG exports.

  • Export history: every export listed with its settings, re-exportable with those exact options.
  • A public share link with an embeddable iframe snippet, revocable at any time.
Depot and Calisto Work

  • The same media picker in Docs, Slides, Sheets and Forms: one asset library behind every document the business produces.
  • Project folders in the sidebar with a colour and a live design count, created inline, filtering the library on click.
Honest answers

Questions about Calisto Studio

A real design tool. Layers, multi-page documents, vector import, alignment and arrange, snapping and safe zones, undo history, animation with a video export, and print-ready output at 300dpi. Judge it on that first. The platform connections are what make it better than a standalone editor, not what makes it a product.

Yes, at the same time. Edits are merged as they happen rather than last-write-wins, and the editor header shows who else is in the document. There is no collaboration tier to buy and no second invitation list, because the people you would share with are already the people in your account.

Both. Any object can take one of nine entrance animations with its own duration, delay and easing, pages can take one of five transitions, the timeline plays back on the canvas, and the result exports as a video file.

Into the shared file store, which is the same store every other app in the account reads. From the export screen it can be handed straight to a campaign, a screen or a website, so publishing does not require a download in the middle. Standard file exports are still there when you want the file itself.

No. The AI panel is switched on per account, and every canvas size, template, folder and export on this page works without it.

The production steps that are otherwise manual: drafting the copy, critiquing a layout, generating or reviewing an image, cutting out a background, erasing part of a picture and extending one past its edges.

The brand kit is read from Purview and Ethos runs the check inside the editor, so an off-brand asset is flagged where it is made rather than after it has shipped.

Yes. Any width by any height, alongside the nineteen presets, and a custom canvas behaves exactly like a preset one.

Up to 200 from a single template. Each one lands in your library as its own design, and the whole run exports as PNG in one batch.

PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF, at web or print resolution or a custom scale. PNG and SVG can drop the background, and every export is listed so you can re-run it with the same settings.

Yes. A whiteboard is its own infinite canvas with its own grid view, opened from a starter template rather than a canvas size.

Yes, into the shared store, where they become reusable across every surface. Templates rebuild in the editor.
