Doory is a full design editor that runs in your browser. Users can make posters, social posts, stories, slides, invitations, resumes, thumbnails and business cards, starting from a template or a blank page. Every design can be edited, then exported to PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, MP4 or GIF.
Every feature is free, with no Pro plan, locked templates, watermarks or ads. Nobody needs an account to start designing, and guest work is saved in the browser until the user chooses to create an account and move designs to the cloud. The whole product can also be self-hosted on your own server with a single docker compose command, keeping every design and upload under your control.
The editor includes layers, groups, masks, filters, curved text, snapping, rulers, multi-page designs, animation, audio, presenting, comments and real-time co-editing. Users can animate elements with 27 enter and exit animations, 12 emphasis effects and 16 page transitions, and add music and sound effects from a built-in library.
Doory ships with ten starter templates, including a gig poster, wedding invitation, quote card, resume, YouTube thumbnail, pitch deck and business card, all fully editable. The project positions itself as a free, open alternative to Canva for people who want the same kind of tool under their own control.
