Editor Tools Guide - Foldbook Studio Documentation

The Foldbook Studio editor provides a professional-grade canvas for designing your book art. Here's a breakdown of the tools available.

Toolbar Controls

Text Tool

Add custom text to your design. You can adjust fonts, size, and character spacing.

Shape Library

Insert icons and geometric shapes. Our library is optimized for silhouettes that look great when folded.

Layer Management

Every element you add to the canvas exists as a separate layer. You can:

  • Reorder: Bring elements to the front or send them to the back.
  • Merge: Combine shapes to create complex silhouettes.
  • Lock: Prevent accidental movement of a layer while working on others.

Precision Transformations

Use the properties panel for exact control:

X / Y Position the element exactly where you need it on the page.
Scale Resize elements while maintaining aspect ratio.
Rotation Rotate shapes to fit the curvature of the design.
