Getting started with Lucidpress
To begin, sign up using your name, email, and password or through a Lucidchart, Yahoo!, or Google account. Once registered, you’ll have access to your personalized dashboard, where you can manage your documents.
To create a new document, click the “Create” button on the left sidebar. Choose from 75 printed and digital templates or start with a blank page. Lucidpress has you covered for newspapers, brochures, photo albums, flyers, and more.
Designing with Lucidpress
Design mode is where the magic happens. Familiarize yourself with the simple drag and drop interface, allowing you to easily arrange and resize elements like text, images, and videos. Access various tools and options through the top menu bar and sidebars.
Easily import content from online services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, Facebook, and Flickr directly into your document.
Make your document interactive
Take your document to the next level by making elements interactive. Add links, hide and show layers, or even embed YouTube videos. Engage your readers, particularly those using touchscreen devices.
Publishing your document
Once you’re satisfied with your design, you can publish your document digitally through Lucidpress or share it instantly with clients and colleagues via a post link. Export your document as a PDF file for printing or as individual pages in PDF, PNG, or JPG formats.
Collaborating with Lucidpress
Collaboration is effortless with Lucidpress. Share your work with collaborators, granting them editing, commenting, or viewing access. Receive quick revisions and feedback by allowing specific comments on different document areas.
Real-time chat functionality and the ability to track contributor actions prevent conflicting changes from occurring and ensure efficient teamwork.
Limitations to consider
While Lucidpress is currently free, the premium version may come with a cost once it leaves beta. Additionally, it does not support export with CMYK. If you’re designing for print, be mindful of this limitation.
