Canvas Workspace

The canvas is where you refine and finish your comic pages. It uses the standard 2:3 comic-page aspect ratio and keeps the interface minimal. Two floating buttons open the drawing toolbar and the panel templates, and the Refine button runs AI generation.

Drawing Tools​

The toolbar contains seven tools.

  • Select lets you tap a text element and drag it to a new position. Only text can be moved. Drawn strokes can't be repositioned after drawing.
  • Pencil is freehand drawing with adjustable width (1 to 20 pt), ten colors, and three brush presets named Thin, Default, and Thick
  • Eraser removes whole strokes. Tap or drag across any stroke to delete it
  • Text places dialogue or captions where you tap, with adjustable font size (8 to 48 pt) and color. Tap existing text to edit it
  • Line draws straight lines from where you touch to where you let go
  • Ellipse grows outward from the center as you drag, outline or filled
  • Rectangle goes corner to corner, outline or filled

All shape tools use the current width and color settings.

Panel Templates​

The template button offers six page layouts. None, Single, Two Horizontal, Two Vertical, Three (top split), and Four (2×2 grid).

Templates are non-destructive guides. Draw inside or across them, switch templates without losing artwork, and toggle them off anytime.

Pages​

Multi-page project with the generated cover open and a page strip showing three completed pages

Projects can have multiple pages.

  • Add a page from the canvas menu (⋯), or generate up to 5 pages at once with AI
  • Navigate pages with the page strip. The indicator shows "Page X of Y"
  • Each page keeps its own artwork and can be refined independently

Undo, Zoom, and Autosave​

Undo and redo cover up to 100 steps via the bottom-left buttons. Zoom runs from 25% to 400% with the bottom-right controls or a pinch, and a fit button resets the view. Autosave runs as you work. The top indicator shows orange for unsaved changes and a green check with the last-saved time.

Canvas Menu​

Canvas menu: Save, Export, Publish to Library, Add Page, Revert Last Refine, Clear Canvas, Go to Projects

The ⋯ menu in the top-right contains the following.

  • Save names the project and adds tags
  • Export shares the page as an image, or the whole project as a CBZ
  • Publish to Library adds the finished comic to your library
  • Add Page appends a new blank page
  • Revert Last Refine restores the page to how it was before the last AI generation
  • Clear Canvas removes everything on the current page. It asks for confirmation and can't be undone
  • Go to Projects returns to the projects list

Tips​

Use thin brushes for detail work and zoom out to judge the whole page. AI-generated lettering is rarely usable, so erase it and add dialogue with the Text tool instead. And if a generation took the page in the wrong direction, Revert Last Refine gets you back instantly.
