VistaCreate

VistaCreate (formerly Crello) is an online graphic design platform with AI-assisted templates for social posts, ads, print and video creatives.

Overview

VistaCreate is the design arm of Vista (the print and marketing company), offering a Canva-style editor with over 200,000 templates, a large stock asset library and AI tools that speed up creation. Users can generate images from text, remove backgrounds instantly, resize designs for every channel and animate static creatives in a few clicks. Tight integration with VistaPrint means a design can move from social post to physical print product. AI features focus on the repetitive parts — background removal, image generation, magic resize and template recommendations — so small teams can produce channel-ready creative without a designer.

Small marketing teams typically start from a template, swap in brand colors and product photos, then use magic resize to produce every channel’s format in one pass. The AI image generator fills gaps when stock assets don’t fit, and background removal makes phone-shot product photos usable. When a design needs to become physical — signage, business cards, flyers — the VistaPrint connection carries the same file into print production without redrawing.
