Canvas overview

Vectary Canvas is an infinite canvas where you collect references, generate images, video and 3D with AI presets, and turn ideas into concepts, all in one place.

Vectary Canvas is currently in Beta. We're actively improving it, and some features may change.

What you can do with Canvas

Collect and organize - bring images, 3D models, PDFs, links, and Studio scenes onto one canvas and arrange them freely.

Generate with presets - apply a preset to your content to generate new images or 3D models. You don't pick an AI model or write a prompt: each preset is already tuned for a specific task.

Work with 3D directly on the canvas - import a 3D model, open it in full-screen mode to adjust the transformation and edit materials and textures, or create a Material element on the canvas and apply it to a model or to a specific part of it.

Collaborate - leave comments, annotations, and sticky notes, and work on the same canvas with your team.

How Canvas works

Every Canvas project is a single infinite canvas. Work on it follows a simple loop: bring in content, apply a preset, and continue with the result.

1

Bring in your content

Most work starts with something you already have. Import an image, a 3D model, a PDF, or a link, or add a Studio scene, either by pasting its link or by choosing it from your library.

2

Apply a preset

A preset is a ready-made AI tool for one specific job, such as creating a photorealistic render from a sketch, extracting materials from a photo, or generating a 3D model from an image. Presets are designed to work with the content you've brought in, so you start from your own reference rather than from a blank page.

You don't choose an AI model or write a prompt. Each preset is crafted by Vectary for its task.

3

Continue with the result

The result of a generation (an image, a video, or a 3D model) appears on the canvas as a new element. You can apply another preset to it, compare it with other variations, or keep refining.

Canvas elements

Everything on the canvas is an element. Besides imported content and generation results, you can add elements from the + menu to organize and annotate your work: Prompt, Text, Frame, Material, Gallery, Sticky Note, and Annotation.

Presets

A preset is a ready-made AI tool for one specific job, for example creating a photorealistic render, changing a material, or generating a 3D model from an image. Presets are designed and tested by Vectary, so you get consistent results without adjusting settings.

A typical workflow

1. Research - collect references, sketches, photos, documents, and 3D models

2. Explore - generate and compare forms, finishes, and variations with presets

3. Refine - develop the strongest idea into a 3D concept: geometry, materials, lighting

4. Validate - compare options and gather team feedback

Canvas and Studio

Vectary offers two editors, and each project you create uses one of them:

	Canvas	Studio
Best for	Research, ideation, and AI-assisted concepting	Detailed 3D scenes, configurators, and interactive 3D/AR experiences
Works as	An infinite canvas with AI presets	A full 3D editor

Both live in your Workspace, where Canvas and Studio projects are organized together in folders.

Getting started

Open canvas.vectary.com to explore a sample project, or create a Canvas Project from your Workspace. See Workspace for details.

Usage and credits

AI generations use credits. You can track usage in Workspace settings → Limit History.
