Laivo Start designing

Easy to start. Precise when it matters.

Laivo is a design editor that runs in your browser. Make posters, social posts, labels, cards and laser-cut pieces with a few clear tools, and switch to exact sizes, the Pen and layers when the job needs them.

One switch between simple and precise

Simple shows colours, fonts and sizes. Pro adds layers, exact positions in millimetres, the Pen and point editing. It is the same design either way.

Arabic and English, set correctly

Arabic letters join and run from the right by themselves, and both languages can share one line. There are 16 font families, ten of them for Arabic, and text looks the same in every file you export.

Files a print shop can use

Export a vector PDF at the exact size of the page, with 3 mm of bleed and crop marks, in screen colours or in CMYK for offset printing. Text is saved as shapes, so it prints the same on any machine.

  • PDF
  • CMYK
  • 3 mm bleed
  • Crop marks
The honey label as the exported PDF shows it: the colour runs 3 mm past the edge of the page, and crop marks stand at the four corners.The export panel with PDF chosen and "Bleed and crop marks" switched on.

Files a laser cutter can use

Cutter files come as SVG in millimetres or as DXF, at true size. Fills are for engraving and lines for cutting, each in its own colour. Or choose outlines only, and every shape is a thin line.

  • SVG
  • DXF
  • mm
A price tag as the cutter file holds it: a red line to cut around the tag and its hole, and the words and a leaf filled in, to engrave.The export panel with Cutter and SVG chosen, and the choice of "Outlines only" below them.

Turn a picture into clean shapes

Trace a logo or a drawing in black and white or in a few colours. Straight edges stay straight, curves stay smooth, and every point can be edited afterwards.

A greeting card added as a picture, with the panel that turns it into shapes set to colours: 3 colours found.The traced Arabic lettering, now a shape, with the points of its outline showing along smooth curves.

Draw and edit your own shapes

The Pen draws curves point by point, any shape can be edited at its points, and shapes combine into new ones. 39 ready shapes are there to start from.
