## What it is
Avnac is a free, browser-based design editor for creating posters, layouts, social graphics, and other canvas-based compositions. It features a custom scene editor with direct manipulation controls, browser-local file persistence via IndexedDB, and optional backend services for media proxying and stock image search.

## Use cases
- design posters and social media graphics in the browser
- create canvas-based layouts without installing desktop software
- export designs as PNG, JPG, or WebP images
- edit images with crop, blur, shadows, and corner radius
- generate QR codes inside designs
- save and manage design files locally in the browser
- import and export designs as JSON files
- search and insert stock photos from Unsplash

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-source alternative to browser design tools like Canva
- you want designs stored locally in your browser without mandatory accounts
- you need quick poster or social graphic creation with direct manipulation editing
- you prefer desktop-first editing with JSON-based file portability

## When to avoid
- you need mobile or tablet editing, which is intentionally blocked
- you require cloud collaboration or team features
- you need print-production features like CMYK or PDF export
- you need advanced vector illustration tools comparable to Illustrator or Inkscape
