Your artwork.
Your space to experiment.
Build a composition with images, text and vectors. Adjust its look, work with layers and keep an editable document for the next round of ideas.
Give your words a voice.
Explore lettering in Type Lab, work with vector shapes and turn lettering into editable curves.
Find a different feeling.
Experiment with dithering, grain, glow, pixel effects and CRT styling. Copy Post settings between layers for a consistent finish.
DESIGN SPRINT
A starting point.
Then your own direction.
Build a poster for your event, add personality to a shop announcement or give a social post a fresh look.
EDITABLE POSTER TEMPLATES
Skip the blank canvas.
Choose a layout, change the words and replace the artwork. Keep shaping it until it feels like your project.
Template selection and included content may vary by edition.
STICKER STUDIO
A little personality goes a long way.
Browse cutout artwork and add a sticker to your canvas. Mix characters and playful details with your own photos, lettering and layout.
Sticker selection and included content may vary by edition.
PART OF YOUR TOOLKIT
Keep the tools you love.
Add another possibility.
Silica can be your canvas for a complete design or a creative stop along the way. Bring in artwork, try a treatment and export the result for the next stage.
Bring something in.
Import an image or artwork exported from another editor. Start from your own illustration, photo or design.
Make something happen.
Add type, combine layers or explore a new texture and effect treatment inside Silica.
Take it forward.
Save your editable Silica document. Export artwork as an image, PDF or SVG as appropriate for your project.
Use exported artwork to move between apps. Editable features and effect appearance depend on the export format and the receiving editor.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Can I use Silica on its own?
Yes. Create and finish work inside Silica, or use it alongside other editors. Choose the workflow that suits the piece.
Does the creative workspace work offline?
Silica is a local desktop editor. Your canvas and project files stay on your machine. Website signup, feedback and downloads need an internet connection.
Where did Silica start?
It began as a small dithering and filter tool. It has grown into a graphics workspace with layers, typography, vectors, compositing and Design Sprint.
