01The problem

Design tools were built for a mouse, not for a conversation.

  1. 01

    Everyone needs design

    A menu, a slide, a flyer, a report cover. The tools still assume years of practice.

  2. 02

    AI locked inside closed tools

    Each assistant is tied to one vendor, one editor and one subscription.

  3. 03

    Pictures you can't edit

    A generated image of a poster isn't a poster. You can't fix a typo, move a logo or change a colour.

vDesign is different. It is open to the model you choose, and vDesign AI builds a real, editable design, not a flat image. Every text box, shape and colour stays yours to change, by hand or by asking again.

02See it work

One prompt in. An editable design out.

Real recordings of the current build. Waiting time is sped up and labelled; everything else plays as it happened.

  • Nonprofits

    A poster for a tree-planting drive

    Prompt

    An A3 poster for a neighbourhood tree-planting drive. Sunday 5 October, 7 AM, Central Park. Volunteers bring water bottles, saplings provided. Leave room for a QR code.

    Then

    Add the qr code to the poster

  • Engineering and events

    A website for a developer conference

    Prompt

    Build a one-page site for a two-day regional developer conference in Bengaluru with a speaker grid (8 speakers), a two-track schedule, ticket tiers with an early-bird deadline countdown, and a venue section.

Where developers already work

A design opens beside the code in VS Code, Cursor and github.dev, and a ```vd fence in your Markdown is drawn as the design. Made in vDesign, viewed where you write.

03Desktop

vDesign is best on your desktop.

The desktop app is the whole of vDesign: your files, your fonts, your own models, and the AI apps on your computer. It keeps itself up to date. The web app is there for when you cannot install anything.

The desktop app is for Mac and Windows. Open this page on your computer to download it, or use the web app.

Mac

Download for Mac

Apple silicon · macOS 12 or later

On an Intel Mac? Download the Intel build

Windows

Get it from the Microsoft Store

64-bit · Windows 10 (version 2004) or later

Opens the Microsoft Store in a new tab.

On Linux? There is no Linux build yet, so use the web app.

  • Your keys stay on your computer

    By default, an API key you add in the desktop app is kept on this computer and sent only to its provider.

  • Local and custom models

    Run vDesign AI on a model on your own machine, or on any address you choose.

  • Claude Desktop and other local AI apps

    Connect them straight to vDesign on your computer.

  • Your installed fonts

    Design with every font on your computer, not only the ones a document carries.

  • Real files, even offline

    Double-click a .vd file to open it, see changes made to it outside the app, and keep working offline once signed in.

04Use cases

05For developers

Put vDesign inside your product.

Two packages on npm, free to use, including commercially. A design your users make, or one an agent writes, looks the same in your product as it does on the vDesign canvas.

  • @getv.design/embed

    Show and edit designs in your web page

    Draw a .vd design in any page, with any framework or none. Readers page through it, zoom and present it, or edit it in the vDesign editor inside your product.

    • A view, a presenter and the full editor, each loaded only when used
    • A change event for every undo step, with the whole file as text
    • An SVG string with no DOM, in Node or the browser
    • Runs under a strict content security policy
    import { view } from '@getv.design/embed/view';

await view(element, design);

    Embedding guide npm

  • @getv.design/export

    Export designs from a server or a build

    Turn .vd files into PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, PDF, Illustrator, HTML, PowerPoint and GIF, in Node, with no browser. The same layout, fonts and line breaks as the canvas.

    • PowerPoint slides whose shapes and text stay editable
    • A command line for scripts and CI
    • Every design on this site, the poster at the top included, is drawn by it
    npx vdesign-export deck.vd --format pptx
npx vdesign-export deck.vd -f png --scale 2

    npm

The .vd format itself is open, CC BY 4.0: anyone may read and write it. The packages' code is proprietary; their licences are in each package.

06Who it's for

For anyone who needs something designed, not only designers.

  • Founders

    Pitch decks and launch visuals, without hiring an agency on day one.

    Campaign assets in every size, on brand, in minutes.

  • Teachers

    Handouts, worksheets and lesson slides.

  • Small businesses

    Menus, flyers, signage and postcards.

  • Healthcare

    Clear patient leaflets and clinic signage.

  • Nonprofits

    Event posters, reports and donor updates.

  • Real estate

    Listing sheets and open-house flyers.

  • Engineering and product teams

    Diagrams, mockups and internal decks.

  • Designers

    A first draft in seconds, then full control to refine it.

Built for

Forward-deployed designers.

They work inside a customer's world: a brief in the morning, something real by the afternoon. vDesign lets them direct vDesign AI for the first draft, refine it by hand, and hand over a file anyone can open.

  1. 1 A brief in the morning
  2. vDesign AI builds a first draft
  3. 3 Refined by hand, on site
  4. 4 Delivered by the afternoon

07Why vDesign

What makes it different.

  • Any model, any provider

    Claude, GPT, Gemini or whatever comes next, through the assistant you already use or any app that speaks MCP. No preferred vendor, no lock-in.

  • A real editor

    Not an image generator. Drag, resize and retype after vDesign AI is done, on the same canvas.

  • Yours for life

    Every design is a .vd file you keep. Portable, and readable by people and by any LLM, not locked in a format built for a world before AI.

  • Embeddable

    Built to live inside other products, not only as a standalone app: the embed and export packages are on npm.
