Your first design in PENJE Editor

Build a square post with text, shapes and a PNG.

These are composition illustrations made for this guide, not editor screenshots.
  1. 1.Start with an empty artboard

    Open the editor and choose New design. A 1080 × 1080 px square is a useful starting point for a square post, not a requirement for every social network.

  2. 2.Choose a simple base

    Choose a solid color or gradient in Backgrounds. Keep the checkerboard if you need transparency: it indicates an empty background and is not part of your download.

  3. 3.Add your main resource

    Find an image in PNGs or Backgrounds and add it to the artboard. Use a shape to frame it, leave breathing room and avoid enlarging a small image too far.

  4. 4.Add text and arrange layers

    Use Text for a short heading. Adjust font, size and color; arrange layers so text sits in front of the background. Lock the background if it interferes with selecting other objects.

  5. 5.Review and export

    Review at 100% and open Export. Choose transparent PNG when needed. You can export at 1× or 2×; the editor identifies any PRO resource or feature that requires access.
