Canvas is a simple design editor tool built into ScreenCloud Studio's CSM which can be used to create screen-ready content like menu boards and posters. You can save your templates, or you can choose from our pre-supplied Gallery of templates and begin redesigning from there!

For a setup guide on Canvas, please see our ScreenCloud Canvas App Guide!

Create digital signage content in the correct screen format

Canvas presets your design size, optimizing it for a portrait or landscape screen format. No more black bars and easy-to-read digital signs that your audience can read. Our Gallery of Templates has been designed with screen best practices in mind.

Design your custom brand with colors, images, logos, and shapes

Canvas’s superpower is ensuring every poster, sign, or notice you create is on-brand. With all the tools to add custom fonts, change colors and upload your brand assets with ease. Elements of your brand can also be locked down so that Creators and Editors can replace text or images without being able to change the layout or design.

Re-use one design multiple times with Templates

No more design strain. Saving your Canvases as Templates for teams to reuse makes creating new, on-brand collateral and updating existing notices with the latest information, much easier. Perfect for local teams or Marketing and HR Managers to create their content.

Pick an existing design from the Template Gallery

Instead of starting from scratch, you can now choose from our gallery of templates that have been designed specifically for the screen. Empowering you and your team to show great content. If you don't have a ScreenCloud account, you can see a glimpse of the template library in this video.

Add QR codes to your designs and collect their metrics

You can easily add a link as a QR code with your design, and the scans and metrics for this are collected in your account. This a handy option if your company consists of deskless workers. Please note that the metrics feature only comes with the Pro or Enterprise plan.
