About Benzo Build

A free, open-source design tool for everyone who can't afford the expensive ones.

Why we exist

Design software should not cost $15 a month forever. A student in Karachi, a shop owner in Lagos, a teacher in rural India — they all need to make posters, flyers, and social posts. They can't all afford Canva Pro.

Benzo Build is our answer. Everything works offline. Nothing is behind a paywall. No accounts, no watermarks, no feature gates. And because it's open source, it stays that way.

What's inside

Tech stack

Pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step, no dependencies. core.js manages state and history. elements.js handles creation and interaction. io.js handles images and export. stock.js talks to Pexels.

How to contribute

Fork the repository, make a change, send a pull request. Every feature that helps someone make a poster without paying is welcome.
