HyCanvas
An open-source, self-hostable design editor for graphics, slides, video, whiteboards and docs.
About HyCanvas
HyCanvas is an open-source design editor that runs in the browser, positioned as an alternative to Canva. One app covers social graphics and posters, presentations, video, whiteboards, docs and spreadsheets, starting from 140 built-in templates or a blank page, and it exports to PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, PPTX, GIF, Lottie, MP4 and other formats without watermarks. Teams get real-time co-editing, comments, version history, approvals, brand kits, workspaces with roles and single sign-on. AI features use your own provider key, for example OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Azure OpenAI or Amazon Bedrock, to generate decks, docs, images and charts. You can use the cloud version or self-host it with Docker and Postgres. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and is still pre-1.0, with frequent releases.
