How the canvas editor works

Invitio's canvas editor lets you design your invitation by dragging every element exactly where you want it. Here's how sections, elements, and the editor tools work.

Your invitation is organized into sections (canvas pages). Inside each section you can place text, images, shapes, RSVP, music, and more — positioning everything freely with drag and drop.

The canvas editor: design every detail and save to publish your invitation instantly.

Sections: your invitation pages

Each section is a vertical page on the canvas. Your guests scroll through them top to bottom, like turning pages.

Open the Sections panel in the side rail to add, rename, reorder, or delete sections. You can also adjust each section's height by dragging the bottom edge on the canvas.

The Free plan includes up to 3 sections at 900px each. Premium removes that limit and allows taller sections.

Adding elements to the canvas

In the left side rail, open Elements to see everything you can add: text, images, countdown, RSVP, music, location, guestbook, and more.

Drag an element onto the canvas or tap it to insert it in the active section. Then move, resize, and edit it with the floating toolbar.

Figures and Images offer decoration and photos from Invitio's catalog. Blocks brings ready-made combos — like itinerary or special mentions — that you can customize afterward.

Layers: order and organization

Open Layers to see all elements in the selected section, front to back.

From there you can reorder layers, select elements hidden behind others, and group or ungroup related items.

You can also use the element toolbar to bring to front, send backward, duplicate, lock, or delete.

Side rail and preview

The side rail includes Elements, Figures, Images, Templates, Blocks, Sections, Layers, Animation, and Colors.

At the bottom of the canvas you'll find zoom controls and navigation between sections.

Preview how it looks on mobile and desktop before saving. When you save, your invitation publishes instantly and the link is ready to share.

Changes aren't saved automatically — click Save (top right) to publish your invitation. If you close the tab without saving, you'll lose changes since your last save.

Venue or time changed after you sent the invitation? Edit and save again — the same link updates itself, with no need to resend.
