Create professional designs, manage brand consistency, and collaborate with your team.
Design canvas, brand kits, template library, asset management, and AI-assisted design — all in one collaborative platform.
Total Design Studio is the design and branding platform that gives your team professional design tools without the complexity. Create marketing materials, social media graphics, proposals, and brand assets with a drag-and-drop canvas, brand-locked templates, and AI-assisted design suggestions.
Set up your brand kit, choose a template or start from scratch, collaborate with your team, and export professional designs in minutes.
Define your brand colours, fonts, logos, and style guidelines in a central brand kit. Templates and designs automatically use brand-locked elements for consistency.
Start from 500+ pre-built templates — social posts, flyers, proposals, business cards, presentations — or begin from a blank canvas. All templates are brand-kit aware.
Drag and drop text, images, shapes, and icons onto the canvas. AI suggests layouts, colour combinations, and font pairings. Lock elements to maintain brand consistency.
Invite team members to edit, comment, and review designs in real time. Version history tracks every change, so you can roll back or compare revisions.
Export to PDF, PNG, SVG, or JPG with configurable resolution and quality. Share via link, embed on your website, or push to social media directly from the studio.
Built for teams that want professional design tools, brand consistency, and collaboration — without the learning curve of complex design software.
A visual design canvas with layers, alignment guides, grids, and snap-to positioning. Drag text, images, shapes, icons, and gradients. Resize, rotate, and group elements with intuitive controls.
Define brand colours, fonts, logos, and style guidelines in a central brand kit. Lock templates to brand elements so team members always use approved colours and fonts — no off-brand designs.
500+ pre-built templates for social media, flyers, proposals, business cards, presentations, invoices, and more. All templates are customisable and brand-kit aware.
AI suggests layouts, colour combinations, font pairings, and image crops based on your content and brand kit. Generate design variations in seconds and pick the best one.
Invite team members to co-edit designs in real time. Leave comments, suggest changes, and review designs together. Role-based permissions control who can edit, comment, or approve.
Every change is saved automatically. Browse version history, compare revisions side by side, and roll back to any previous version. Never lose work or worry about breaking a design.
Export designs to PDF, PNG, SVG, or JPG with configurable resolution, quality, and bleed. Optimise for print, web, or social media with preset export profiles.
Central library for logos, images, icons, and brand assets. Tag, search, and reuse assets across designs. Version control ensures everyone uses the latest approved assets.
Route designs for approval before publishing. Managers review, comment, and approve designs — ensuring brand consistency and quality control across all team output.
