Tools, color, layout, and the canvas

The Editor

Master the design surface

The Editor

A map of Brilliant's design surface: the four toolbars, the canvas, per-canvas undo, and where every tool and panel lives.

Tools

Every drawing and editing tool in Brilliant, its shortcut, its modifiers, and where to find boolean ops, masks, flatten, and outline.

Selection and editing

How selection works in Brilliant, including the per-frame selection model, plus moving, resizing, rotating, aligning, and measuring.

Frames and auto layout

Frames versus groups, auto layout direction and spacing, hug/fill/fixed sizing, layout grids, and masks.

Color and fills

A guided tour of Brilliant's color picker, region by region, plus every fill type from solids and gradients to shaders and filters.

Strokes and effects

Stroke caps and position, drop shadows, glows, blurs, the effect-versus-fill distinction, blend modes, and opacity.

Text

Creating text, the four sizing modes, the typography controls, per-range styling, fonts, and outlining text to vectors.

Vectors

Drawing with the pen and pencil, entering vector edit mode, node and handle types, region fills versus edge strokes, and booleans.

Canvas navigation

Zooming, panning, rulers and guides, the pixel grid, the canvas backdrops, presentation mode, and overlay mode.

Components

Build reusable masters and instances in Brilliant, keep them in sync with overrides, and organize variants into component sets.

Built-in AI

The chat inside Brilliant, your keys

Built-in AI

Design with the built-in AI chat

Built-in AI

Brilliant's docked AI chat: bring your own key, design on the canvas, and keep every result fully editable by hand.

Providers and models

Every provider Brilliant's chat supports, how model selection and thinking levels work, and where your keys live.

Sessions and chat

Run parallel chats, compose follow-ups with mentions and attachments, use slash commands, and revert a turn.

What the AI can do

The full range of the built-in agent, from creating and editing designs to running commands, exporting, and generating images and vectors.

Privacy and consent

Exactly what the built-in chat sends, when it sends it, what it never sends, and why your keys stay out of transcripts.

Files & Workspace

Canvases, import/export, settings, shortcuts

Files & Workspace

Everything around the canvas

Canvases and files

How Brilliant workspaces, canvases, folders, and assets live as plain files on disk, with autosave and per-canvas undo built in.

Import and export

Every way to get designs out of Brilliant (PNG, SVG, PDF, video, code) and back in (images, SVG, Sketch, Figma, and paste).

Settings

A tour of every Settings pane in Brilliant, plus a platform-support matrix for the macOS-only and Windows-remapped features.

Keyboard shortcuts

The complete keyboard reference for Brilliant, organized by task, with macOS and Windows columns and the Windows remaps called out.
