Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build a web app for people who want to make social graphics and single-slide designs from templates. The main screen should show a small gallery of realistic sample templates, with filters for social posts and slides. Clicking a template opens an editor with a canvas in the center and editing controls beside it. Let me select, move and resize text, shapes and images, edit text, change colors and upload a replacement image. Include a download button that exports the finished canvas as a PNG without the editor controls. Use a clean white and soft gray interface with purple buttons and readable labels. Include original sample layouts for a cafe announcement, an event invitation and a presentation title slide.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: a small template gallery for social posts and single-slide layouts; a basic editor for text, colors, shapes and uploaded images; PNG download of the finished design. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Canva, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month).
