Legal
Terms of Service
The rules for using Designly. It is free, it runs in your browser, and everything you make with it is yours. The rest is detail.

The agreement
These terms are between you and Deepak Kumar, who builds and operates Designly from India (“we”, “us”). Using Designly means you accept them. If you do not, the remedy is simple and costs you nothing: close the tab.
There is no account to create, so there is nothing to sign. Use is the acceptance.
What Designly is
Designly is a tool that turns Markdown into social media designs — carousels, posts, quote cards, code images — and exports them as PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, or a ZIP. It runs entirely in your browser.
Your content is yours
You own everything you put into Designly and everything you get out of it. Your Markdown is yours. Your images are yours. Your designs are yours. Your exported files are yours.
We claim no licence over any of it — not to host it, not to display it, not to use it in marketing, not for anything. This is not generosity, it is arithmetic: your content never reaches us, so there is nothing for us to claim a licence over. See the Privacy Policy for how that works.
Use your exports however you like — commercially, at scale, for clients, forever. No attribution required, no permission needed, no licence to revoke.
You are responsible for having the rights to the content you bring — text and images alike. If you feed Designly someone else’s copyrighted work, the design it produces does not launder that.
What we own
The Designly name, the interface, the design system, the templates, and the code behind them stay ours. Using the tool does not transfer any of that to you.
The obvious carve-out: the output of a template — the actual design you export — is yours, per the section above. We own the template; you own what you make with it.
Acceptable use
Designly runs on your machine, on your content, so most of the usual restrictions would be theatre. These are the ones that are real:
- Do not use Designly to produce content that is illegal where you are, or that harasses, defames, or incites violence against anyone.
- Do not use it to infringe someone else's copyright, trademark, or privacy.
- Do not attack the site itself — no attempts to compromise the host, deface the deployment, or deny others access to it.
- Do not pass Designly off as your own product, or resell access to it as though you built it.
We have no ability to monitor what you make — we cannot see it — and we are not trying to acquire that ability. These rules exist so that the line is stated, not so that we can police it.
Availability
Designly is free and offered with no uptime promise. It may be offline, changed, or discontinued at any time without notice. Features may be added or removed. Templates may change appearance.
No warranty
Designly is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. That includes the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.
In plainer terms: we think it works well and we use it ourselves, but we do not promise it is bug-free, that it will render exactly as you expect on every browser, that an export will always succeed, or that your stored work will survive. It is a free tool made by one person.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of Designly — including lost work, lost profits, lost business, or lost data.
Where liability cannot be excluded entirely, our total liability to you is capped at the amount you have paid us to use Designly. That amount is zero.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions. Where that is true, they apply only as far as that jurisdiction allows, and nothing here limits liability for fraud or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Third-party services
Your LLM, your social platform, and your browser are not ours. What ChatGPT gives you, what LinkedIn does with a carousel you upload, and how Chrome manages its storage are all governed by their terms, not these.
Changes to these terms
These terms may change as Designly changes. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept it. There is no mailing list to notify you, because we do not have your email address.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the state where Deepak Kumar resides.
If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
