FAQs

What is FreehandNX?

FreehandNX is a modern canvas-based design tool for posters, photobooks, magazines, and multi-page publication layouts with AI tools built in.

How is FreehandNX different from traditional editors?

FreehandNX is built around page layout and publication flow instead of catalog-based editing workflows. You can design directly on canvas with grids, text, masks, AI tools, and export-ready outputs.

Do I need to install anything?

It depends on which version you use. The web version runs in your browser, while the iPad and macOS app is installed from the App Store.

What is the difference between the web version and the iPad and macOS app?

The web version is the browser-based FreehandNX design workspace for canvas editing, manual layout tools, AI tools, and web-based exports. The iPad and macOS app is a native Apple-platform version with a focused project workspace for generated pages, prompt revisions, brush edits, reference images, downloading, sharing, and printing.

Are the web version and the iPad and macOS app the same product?

They share the FreehandNX design direction, but they are not identical workflows. Some tools, account behavior, subscriptions, file handling, and export options may differ between the web experience and the native app.

Do I use the same subscription for the web version and the app?

No. Web plans and credit top-ups are managed through the FreehandNX website. The iPad and macOS app uses App Store subscriptions and Apple-managed billing.

How do credits work?

Credits are used for AI-powered actions such as image generation, image edits, and vector generation. Subscription and top-up details are available on the Pricing page.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits are pay-once and do not expire.

What file types can I work with?

FreehandNX supports common web image formats for import and placement, plus AI-generated assets in your design workflow.

Can I create multi-page projects?

Yes. FreehandNX is built for multi-page publication work with page management and session-based project organization.

What AI features are available?

FreehandNX includes Image Generation, Image Edit, and Vector Art generation. Film Looks are also available for quick visual styling.

Can I still design manually, or is it only AI?

You can do both. Manual design controls and AI tools are designed to work together in the same canvas workflow.

What export formats are supported?

You can export projects as HTML, PDF, and images depending on your workflow and delivery needs.

Can I use FreehandNX for client/commercial work?

Yes. FreehandNX is built for production workflows. Always review final outputs for client, legal, and brand requirements before delivery.

Can I order printed publications from FreehandNX?

Ordering publications is planned and currently marked as coming soon.
