Creavim Documentation

Brand system

Define brand fonts, colors and logos centrally to keep a consistent visual language across publications.

• Add primary and secondary colors, approved logos and the font families used by the brand.
• Use brand settings as the starting point for new pages, then override them at page or block level when required.

Workspace and pages

The editor's workspace adapts to your preferences. These settings live in your browser; they do not affect the catalog itself or how it is published.

• Canvas background colour: choose your working surface. Click one of the presets or enter any colour in the picker. A light surface makes it easier to see where the edges of a dark design end. One click returns you to the default.
• Page ordering: reorder pages by dragging, either in the filmstrip under the canvas or in the page list in the right panel. In the right panel the drag handle sits at the left of each row.
• Page view: single page or spread. Use spreads to see the printed layout.
• Grid and snapping: show the grid, snap blocks to it, and add rulers and guides for precise alignment.
• Zoom: pick a percentage or fit the page to the screen.

Text formatting

The text block's right panel carries formatting tools alongside typography. Some apply to the whole block while it is selected; others apply to the characters you select after entering the box.

• Paragraph styles: save a text's appearance as a style and apply it to other blocks. Update the style and every linked text changes with it; detach a single block if you want it to go its own way.
• Effects: shadow, glow, outline, echo, and neon. Pick a preset and fine-tune it. The outline is a real contour: it adds weight around the letters and survives export.
• Superscript and subscript: for m², H₂O, or footnote numbers. Select the character and press the button; pressing again removes it. Pressing superscript while in subscript swaps the two.
• Bulleted and numbered lists: can be applied with the block selected, without entering the text box. Indentation scales with font size, so alignment holds when you resize the type.
• Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and case conversion (UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case).
• Alignment: left/center/right/justify horizontally, top/middle/bottom vertically, with a separate option for the last line when justified.
• Line height, letter spacing, and colour; plus links (page, URL, or email).

Image effects

Image and shape blocks apply most design-tool effects directly on the page. Effects are non-destructive: turn one off and the image returns untouched.

• Fade: softly dissolves the edge of an image into transparency (the equivalent of InDesign's gradient feather). Linear or radial, with direction, angle, start and end controls. Used for cover images that blend into the background and product shots lifted off their backdrop.
• Blend mode: controls how the image merges with what sits beneath it. All the industry-standard modes are there (Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light and the rest), for textures and colour layers.
• Filters: brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, grayscale, sepia and more.
• Corner radius: type a value or drag the corner handle to set it by eye.
• Crop and background removal: fit the image to its frame; clear the background in one click (AI).
• Mirror copy: creates a horizontally or vertically mirrored duplicate beside the selected block, so symmetric layouts do not need manual copy-and-flip.
• Transform section: flip horizontally/vertically, rotate, and reset; opacity is set per block.

Products, variants and categories

Manage product data independently from page design and reuse the same product across multiple publications.

• Keep SKU, price, stock, description, brand, category and multiple images in one product record.
• Assign separate prices, stock and media to variants such as color or size.
• Connect product cards and grids to this source to reduce repeated data entry.

Live product data and Google Sheets

Update frequently changing fields such as price and stock from a connected Google Sheets source.

• Map sheet columns to Creavim product fields and review the first import before applying it.
• Use SKU matching to update existing products and create records for new rows.
• Review changes before publishing to confirm that connected catalogs use the intended data.

Batch production in Image Studio

Bring product and content images into one place, then apply the same edit or AI operation to a selected set.

123

1. 1Follow Manage → Studio. Under Products, gallery images from your product records are listed automatically.
2. 2For images that are not attached to a product, switch to Uploads and add the files directly to Studio.
3. 3Select the images, open an operation from the plus button and complete the displayed controls. For generative scene or model operations, add a prompt before applying it to the full selection.

Edit Image: two engines

Edits the selected image from a written instruction. Two engines are available and the credit cost depends on the engine.

• PhotoRoom (1 credit): fast single-frame work such as background swaps, scene cleanup and small touch-ups.
• GPT Image 2 (4 credits): changes only what you ask for while preserving the scene, faces and product details; best for precise requests like recoloring or adding accessories.
• On the GPT Image 2 tab, pin up to 2 frames with + Reference; the word "reference" in your instruction points to those frames.
• Example: with the mannequin product shot selected, pin the model photo as a reference and write "put this dress on the model in the reference, keep her scene".
• The result replaces the selected block; duplicate the block first if you want to keep the original.

AI video from a still image

Use a still image as the reference for a short video and describe the intended motion in text.

• Choose a clear source image and describe movement, camera direction and what must remain stable.
• Track the generation job while it completes in the background.
• Save the finished video to your files and place it in a publication with a video block.

Background removal

Separate the main subject from its background and create a transparent output.

• Inspect fine edges and semi-transparent areas at a close zoom.
• Work from the editor for one image or use Image Studio for a complete set.
• Combine the transparent result with a new background, shadow or page composition.

Ghost mannequin

Turn an apparel photo into a clean presentation that retains the garment shape without showing the mannequin.

• Use a clean, front-facing source image with clearly visible garment boundaries.
• Review critical regions such as collars, sleeves and inner surfaces after generation.
• Keep a consistent capture and crop standard across the product set.

Reference-based generation

Use an existing image as a subject or composition reference when creating new scenes.

• State which product, person, color or composition details must be retained.
• Generate environment and framing options as separate variations.
• Review brand, product and visual accuracy before using a result in a publication.

Generate images from text

Create original visuals for campaigns, presentations, social content and publication pages.

• Define the subject, setting, light, framing, aspect ratio and visual language in a concise brief.
• Refine the first result with additional direction or generate alternative variations.
• Check brand and contextual suitability before adding the image to a page.

Generate color variants

Prepare different color options from one image while aiming to retain product form and material texture.

• Select the region to change and define the target color clearly.
• Review texture, shadows, reflections and surrounding color spill.
• Save approved variations to the relevant product or variant gallery.

Retouch and remove unwanted objects

Remove marks, labels, small objects or surface defects from a selected region.

• Mark only the region that needs to change to preserve surrounding detail.
• For large areas, work through smaller controlled selections instead of one pass.
• Inspect repeated textures and edge transitions at a high zoom.

AI-assisted publication copy

Prepare editable titles, descriptions and short marketing copy from source data.

• Use verified product or content information as the source.
• Set tone, length, audience and language before generation.
• Review accuracy, brand voice and regulated claims before publishing.

Managing multilingual publications

Languages are derived from the master catalog. A derived catalog is edited and published separately, while the master stays the single reference.

• Pick a target language and start the translation. The target catalog is created for you and arrives as a draft.
• Page edits, image swaps and price changes you make in a target catalog belong to that language only.
• Re-translating the master rebuilds the target's page content from the source, and edits you made in that language are lost. Settings, cover image and publish state are kept.
• To keep working in one language, duplicate that catalog. The copy becomes an independent master, and you can derive new languages from it.
• Text length shifts between languages: German usually runs longer than the source, Chinese shorter. Check for overflow and line breaks before publishing.

Forms and quizzes

Add contact forms, information requests or structured quizzes directly to a publication.

• Configure fields, required states and the message shown after submission.
• Review responses in the dashboard and export them as CSV when needed.
• Forward notifications into an existing workflow through email or webhook.

Forward form submissions to email and your CRM

The form block's Notifications section offers two channels: a notification email and a webhook. The webhook POSTs every submission as JSON to the https address you provide; Zapier or Make picks that packet up and writes it into your CRM, spreadsheet or any other app.

• For email notifications, select the form block in the editor and enter the address in the Notifications section of Form Settings. Every submission is forwarded there, and submissions also collect on the panel's Form Responses page.
• For a CRM connection, create a new Zap in Zapier with Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook as the trigger, and copy the address it gives you. In Make, the equivalent is the Webhooks → Custom webhook module.
• Paste the address into the webhook field of the form block's Notifications section and publish the catalog. Notifications fire only on real submissions in a published catalog.
• Fill the form once in the published catalog as a test, then capture it in Zapier with Test trigger. Zapier only offers field mapping after it has seen a sample packet, so don't skip this step.
• In the Zap's action step, pick the target app (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Google Sheets, Gmail…), map the form fields to the target fields and publish the Zap. From then on every submission creates a record automatically.
• The outgoing packet carries submissionId, catalogId, formBlockId, formTitle, submittedAt and a data object with the form answers. The request includes the header X-Creavim-Event: form.submission.created, useful for filtering if you connect your own system directly.

Cart, order and quote requests

Let readers select products in a publication and send a structured enquiry.

• Configure add-to-cart behavior and the product fields shown on each card.
• Send the request summary through WhatsApp or a PDF workflow.
• Verify price, variant and contact information before publishing.

Access control

Define who can open each publication and how it may be shared.

• Choose public, password-protected or private access.
• Manage expiring links, downloads and website embed permissions per publication.
• Use custom domains and white-label settings for organization-owned publishing.
