Layout Canvas

Turn practical layout work into a browser flow.

A free beta drawing tool for placing fixtures and notes on top of PDF or image plans, then refining the layout with clear distance cues between objects. Your drawings autosave to the cloud while signed in and can be shared instantly with a view-only link.

Layout Canvas is for the moments when you need a clear layout drawing without opening a heavy specialist tool. Place shapes, tune sizes and distances numerically, organize work with layers, and build practical plans for stages, venues, and facilities. Drawings are autosaved, and share links open a view-only page without requiring the recipient to sign in.

Refine layouts with measurements

Choose mm, cm, or m as the working unit, then enter position, width, height, and rotation values directly. When two shapes are selected, you can inspect and adjust the distance between them.

  • Unit selection
  • Numeric position and size fields
  • Distance display and editing
  • Alignment and contact guides

Keep drawings organized with layers

Separate background plans, fixtures, dimensions, and notes into layers. Layers can be renamed, reordered, shown together, or isolated while you edit.

  • Create and rename layers
  • Reorder layers by dragging
  • Show all or isolate one layer
  • Edit only the active layer

Use plans as a base

Import VDX, SVG, JSON, CSV, PDF, and image files. PDFs are placed as first-page images that can be moved, resized, and rotated like normal objects.

  • Place PDF and image plans
  • Best-effort VDX restoration
  • SVG / JSON / CSV import
  • SVG / PNG / JSON export

Autosave and share links

Drawing contents and canvas names are saved automatically. While signed in with Google, work syncs to the cloud, and share links let others open a view-only snapshot without logging in.

  • Cloud save with Google sign-in
  • Automatic saves while editing
  • View-only sharing without login
  • Snapshot display from the moment of sharing

Flow

How it works

  1. Place a reference planImport a PDF or image plan and scale it to the working layout.
  2. Draw the arrangementAdd rectangles, circles, text, and opening symbols while checking measurements.
  3. Separate the layersKeep background, fixtures, notes, and dimensions distinct so edits stay clear.
  4. Share the resultCreate a view-only share link, or export the result as SVG, PNG, or JSON when you need a file.
