Now AI-ready: built-in MCP server lets AI assistants edit copy, apply themes, and run quality checks — automate the whole pipeline with the free CLI.
Pure Canvas is a visual design tool for preview image production, built for both App Store assets and general marketing creatives.
You can handle layout, image editing, and export in one workflow to ship faster.
Key features:
Canvas editing for titles, text items, layers, backgrounds, and illustrations
Image editing with crop support; annotation is supported (saving annotations is a membership feature)
Themes & layouts: 18 built-in themes (one theme, multiple variants) and 8 layout styles, with a Random layout for quick bases and one-click apply across the deck
Quality check (lint): automatic review of title lines, contrast, whitespace rhythm, and more — catch issues before export
Batch Operations: Apply the current language style to other multiple languages (single canvas). Apply the current canvas style to all canvases (single language). [Premium Feature]
Built-in App Store size presets for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Custom canvas sizes for non-App Store previews and promotional images
Background options: solid color, gradient, and image with style/opacity controls
Reusable templates plus asset libraries for backgrounds and illustrations
Export options for single-image and batch workflows (some advanced features require membership)
AI integration (MCP):
Pure Canvas ships with a built-in MCP server, so MCP-capable AI assistants can read and write your project directly: editing localized copy, adding languages, importing screenshots, applying themes and layouts, and running quality checks (these tools are free; batch render/export is a membership feature). The "AI Skill Pack" in Settings downloads the AI playbook with one click — hand it to your assistant and go.
Pair it with the free purecanvas command-line tool (an in-app "Get CLI" link plus a copyable Homebrew install command), and AI can also drive the simulator to capture screenshots of your own apps automatically — from capture to final images.
When a project is open, AI writes ask for your confirmation first, and manual saves warn you if AI has changed the file — the two never overwrite each other.
Pure Canvas is ideal for indie developers, designers, and product teams producing polished preview assets efficiently.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Major AI integration upgrade (MCP):
• AI assistants can now do much more than editing copy — apply themes and layouts (with a three-option preview), import screenshots, batch-edit localized text, and run design quality checks
• New "AI Skill Pack" in Settings: download the AI playbook with one click and hand it to your assistant
• AI and manual edits never overwrite each other: writes to an open project need your confirmation, and saving warns you about AI changes
• Pair with the purecanvas CLI (Homebrew command copyable in-app) and AI can also drive the simulator to capture screenshots of your apps
Themes & layouts, greatly expanded:
• 18 themes, upgraded to a design system where one theme offers multiple variants
• 8 new layout styles plus "Random" layout — one-click bases, per-canvas tweaks
• Items re-flow intelligently after applying themes/layouts, no longer overlapping screenshots
Fixes & improvements:
• Fixed CLI rendering producing all-black images on Retina displays
• Fixed title/item overlap on iPad sizes
• Other polish and stability improvements
