Graphic design on a Chromebook

A Chromebook runs the full Voidcanvas Editor in Chrome: layers, masks, PSD import, effects and on-device AI, installed as an app that works offline. Setup, where files are kept, and what to watch on low-memory models.

Beginner1 min readUpdated 27 September 2026Install as an app

Set up in two minutes

  1. Open voidcanvas.app/editor in Chrome.
  2. Click the install icon at the right of the address bar and Install. Voidcanvas opens in its own window and appears in the launcher.
  3. Run each AI tool you need once while online (Remove background, Select subject). The models download once and then work offline.
  4. Use every font you plan to use once, so it is kept for offline use.

Files on a Chromebook

  • Save (Ctrl+S) keeps the design in Chrome on this Chromebook.
  • Save to disk… (Ctrl+Shift+S) writes a .void file to a folder you choose, such as Downloads or Google Drive. In Chrome it stays linked, so Ctrl+S updates that file.
  • Exports (PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF) go to Downloads.
  • Clearing Chrome's site data or powerwashing deletes designs kept in the browser. Keep .void copies of anything that matters.

Can a Chromebook open PSD files?

Yes: open the PSD in the Editor from Downloads or Drive. Layers, masks, text and adjustments come through, with a report of anything changed.

Is a Chromebook powerful enough?

For posters, social graphics and photo editing, yes. Very large designs with many layers and filters want 8 GB of memory; on 4 GB, work at a smaller size or with fewer filters.
