Kittl

Kittl is a Berlin-based design platform that took on Canva by going where Canva is weakest: advanced typography and vector editing. Text effects, warps, and lettering tools that normally require Illustrator run right in the browser on an infinite canvas, which is why designers at Netflix, Pentagram, and Ogilvy use it for logos, labels, and merch.

An integrated AI creative suite generates images and true vector graphics, removes backgrounds, upscales, and vectorizes, while a library of more than a million fonts, graphics, and photos plus templates and product mockups feeds production work. Real-time collaboration keeps teams in one file, and the free forever plan covers five projects.

Key features:

• Advanced text effects with warps, curves, and decorative lettering
• True vector editing in the browser, no desktop app required
• AI generation for images and editable vector graphics
• Background remover, upscaler, and vectorizer built in
• 1M+ asset library of fonts, graphics, photos, and mockups
• Real-time collaboration on an infinite canvas
• Free forever plan with five projects and starter AI tokens

Kittl is developed by Kittl Technologies GmbH in Berlin, Germany, venture-backed with 47 million dollars raised, and processes user data under GDPR as a German company.

Ideal for designers and merch creators who find Canva too shallow and Illustrator too heavy, and want the middle ground built in Europe.
