Creative Studio: designs with Dezaina
Creative Studio turns a short description into a finished design: a social graphic, a carousel, an ad, a landing page, a presentation, an email, a document, a report or a video. Dezaina, the brand and creative agent, designs it in your brand colours, and you refine it in the chat or by hand, collect comments, share a link and export the result.
DezainaBrand & creativeOpen Creative Studio
Click Creative Studio in the sidebar. The page asks What are we creating today? and holds everything in one place: the prompt for a new design, quick format tiles and the list of your projects.
Create your first design
Choose the format
The first chip in the prompt sets the format (Post by default). You can also click a tile under Pages, documents and video or the Carousel tile: it puts its format into the prompt. For a social graphic and an ad you also pick the Aspect ratio (4:5, 1:1, 9:16 or 16:9), and for a carousel the Number of slides (3 to 10).
Describe the design
Write what you need in a sentence or two, for example an Instagram carousel: 5 ways to enjoy cold brew, warm morning light. With the paperclip you attach up to 6 images (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 6 MB each) from your computer or the Media library; you can also paste or drop them.
Keep or turn off the Brand Kit
The Brand Kit chip is on by default, so Dezaina uses the colours, fonts and style of your brand. Turn it off for a design that should look different. The choice is made once, when the design starts.
Pick the mode
The mode chip (Medium by default) sets how Dezaina works. The modes are described below.
The mode panel: Low, Medium or High. Choose Ask or Auto
Ask (the default) lets Dezaina show design directions and ask for missing images or details before she starts. Auto designs right away and describes its assumptions. The app remembers your choice on this device.
Click Generate
The project opens in its editor and you watch Dezaina work: the plan with its steps, the brief and the mode. You can close the editor, Dezaina keeps working and the finished design waits in Creative Studio. Cancel generation stops the work; the AI usage so far still counts toward your limit.
Dezaina designs the first version and shows her plan as she goes.
Project ideas
Not sure what to design? Ideas under the prompt opens a dialog where Dezaina suggests three ready descriptions for a design. Each idea has a title, an angle (for example Product in use or Season and occasions) and a full description you can use as it is or edit.
Open Ideas
Click Ideas under the prompt. The dialog starts with the format and aspect ratio set in the prompt.
Choose the format
If you need ideas for something else, change the Format chip in the dialog, and for a social graphic or an ad also the Aspect ratio, for a carousel the Number of slides. The prompt only changes when you use an idea.
Give a hint or leave it empty
In What do you need? (optional) write a topic, for example a Black Friday sale, and all three ideas follow it. Leave it empty and Dezaina suggests ideas based on the offer of your brand.
Generate the ideas
Click Generate ideas or press Enter in the hint field. After a moment you see three ideas. Show all expands a longer description and New ideas asks for another three.
Three ideas from the offer of your brand, each from a different angle. Use an idea
Use puts the description into the prompt with its format, closes the dialog and moves the cursor to the prompt. Edit it if you like, then click Generate.
The chosen idea goes into the prompt together with its format.
Formats
| Format | Where you edit it |
|---|---|
| Social graphic, Carousel, Ad | Canvas, the graphic editor. See Canvas. |

The New project menu
The New project button at the top has two parts. Blank graphic in Canvas lists ready sizes (Instagram square, post and story, Facebook ad, LinkedIn post, wide banner, presentation and A4) and opens an empty design in Canvas. Describe it for Dezaina lists every format: picking one puts it into the prompt so you can describe the design.
The Graphics tiles (Post, Square, Story, Banner, Ad and A4) also open a blank design in Canvas. Import next to the button adds a design from a Claude Design ZIP file or from HTML pages with their images and styles.
Modes: Low, Medium and High
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Low | Fastest, no generated images. |
| Medium | Recommended and the default: the designer with images. |
| High | The same designer on a stronger AI model. It uses up to 5× or more of your AI usage limit. |
Questions before designing: Ask or Auto
In Ask mode Dezaina may stop before the first version: she shows a few design directions as sketches, or asks for an image she needs, for example a photo of a product you named. Pick a direction or answer and click Send answers; Dezaina gets straight back to work. Design without it lets her continue with what she has.
Brand Kit and logo
- With the Brand Kit chip on, Dezaina designs with the colours, fonts and style from your Brand Kit. With it off, she designs without them.
- If you do not want the logo on a design, say so in the description, for example without a logo. Dezaina then leaves it out.
Your projects
Under Your projects you find every design of the workspace, newest change first. Each card shows the format, the version, the language and the mode it was made in. A design still in progress says Dezaina is working and its current step.
- All shows everything, Graphics the social graphics, carousels, ads and Canvas designs, Pages landing pages, UI mockups, emails, documents and reports, Presentations and Video the rest. Shared lists Canvas designs other people shared with you.
- Search projects at the top finds a design by its name.
- Click a card to open it. The … menu of a card has Open in Canvas (or Open Creative Studio), Version history and, for people allowed to delete, Delete project.
The Studio editor
Landing pages, UI mockups, emails, documents, reports, presentations and videos open in the Studio editor: the Project chat on the left, the live preview in the middle and the tools in the header.
- The chat: write what to change in What would you like to change? and send it. Small changes keeps the layout, New layout lets Dezaina rebuild it. The + button adds images, and the mode and Ask or Auto work as in the prompt.
- Edit: change the text and the look of elements right on the preview. Save creates a new version.
- Preview and Code switch between the page and its HTML.
- Versions (the clock icon) lists every version with its author. Open one to preview it and click Restore this version to make it the newest.
Comments
Click Comment in the header. Pick an Element, an Area or a Drawing on the preview, or write about the whole project, then Save comment. Threads appear as numbered pins; people reply, Resolve a thread when it is done, or send it to the chat so Dezaina can make the change.
Share a link
Click Share. Anyone with the link sees the latest saved version without signing in. Set the Access (View only or View and comment), the Expiry (no expiry, or 1, 7, 30 or 90 days) and an optional name, then Create link: it is copied right away.
Each link can be copied again, given another expiry or turned off with Turn off link. Graphics and videos are not shared this way: share a graphic from Canvas instead.
Export
Export offers what fits the format:
- Download HTML for every Studio design and Download PowerPoint (PPTX) for presentations. These files also stay under Saved exports.
- A PNG of the page or slide, a PNG of a selected element, or a copy of an element as an image.
- Print or save as PDF through the print window.
- Download MP4 for a video.
Present a deck
In a presentation, Present shows the slides full screen. Its arrow menu also opens the Presenter view: the current and next slide, your speaker notes, the slide number and a timer. The arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down change slides, Home and End jump to the first and last, Esc ends.
Graphics go to Canvas
A social graphic, a carousel or an ad opens in Canvas once the first version is ready, so you can move every element, ask Dezaina for edits in the AI chat and export it as an image, PDF, MP4 or GIF. See Canvas.
