Open source canva alternative

What it solves

Doory is an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Canva, providing a full-featured design editor in the browser. It eliminates the need for paid subscriptions, watermarks, and account requirements to start designing, while giving users full control over their data and infrastructure.

How it works

It uses a React 19 frontend with Fabric.js for the canvas and Yjs for real-time co-editing. The backend is powered by Django 5 and PostgreSQL, and the entire stack is deployable via Docker Compose. It supports guest mode for local browser storage and cloud storage for registered users.

Who it’s for

Content creators, businesses, and privacy-conscious users who want a professional graphic design tool that is free, open-source, and can be hosted on their own servers.

Highlights

  • Comprehensive Design Tools: Supports layers, groups, masks, filters, curved text, and multi-page designs.
  • Real-time Collaboration: Includes live cursors, pinned comments, and shared editing links.
  • Browser-based AI: Features one-click background removal where the model runs directly in the browser.
  • Versatile Export: Exports to PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF (including print-ready with bleed/crop marks), MP4, WebM, and GIF.
  • Motion and Sound: Includes a library of animations, page transitions, music loops, and sound effects.
  • Self-Hostable: Deployable in three commands using Docker, with optional S3-compatible storage.
