Design Tools
Free–$1 Vector shapes, emoji text, and print rulers inside the designer.
Standard — Signed, install-ready ZIP. Installs and updates through the in-app addon marketplace. + Source Access — Everything in Standard, plus full TypeScript/Vue source, sourcemaps, and build tooling (npm ci && npm run build) so you can customize it yourself. Unsigned — install manually, not through the in-app marketplace installer. Same license key as Standard.
What it does
Design Tools adds more building blocks to the designer without sacrificing vector-clean output: 15 vector shape types (rectangles, rounded rectangles, circles, ellipses, triangles, diamonds, pentagons, hexagons, 5- and 6-point stars, arrows, lines, hearts, and speech bubbles), a full emoji picker rendered as scalable vector art, and on-canvas print rulers.
Every shape and emoji stays a true vector through to production export — nothing degrades to a raster stamp at print resolution, and shapes can be recolored like any other design element.

Use print rulers to check size

FAQ
Are the emoji raster images?
No — they're rendered as scalable vector art (Twemoji, CC BY 4.0), so they scale cleanly to any print size.
Can shapes be combined with clipart from Stock Images?
Yes, shapes are a separate layer type and can be freely combined with any other design element.
