It’s split into four parts: the top bar for saving, publishing, and downloading; the left side for characters, worlds, series, and SNS posting; the canvas in the middle for your panels; and the right side for chatting with Zennyang or drawing one panel at a time. This page describes the Studio on a computer screen. On narrow screens such as phones, the left and right panels are tucked away. Open them with the buttons at either end of the bar just above the canvas, and chat with Zennyang at the bottom of the screen. For the GenToon app, see [Using GenToon on the web and in the app](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/getting-started/web-and-app). ![The Studio with a finished project open](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/studio-overview.94507cd0.1x.webp) *The Studio with a finished project open* ## Where to find it Click **Studio** in the site’s top menu to open the Studio with a new project. To open something you’ve already made, click your profile picture at the top right, choose **Projects**, and click the picture on the project’s card. ## The top bar ![GenToon screen](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/studio-overview.94507cd0.1x.webp) | Button | What it does | | --- | --- | | GenToon logo | Takes you back to the home page. | | **Save Project** | Saves your work. If you have unsaved changes, the button gets a purple outline. | | 1:1 · 4:5 · 9:16 · 2:3 | Sets the canvas aspect ratio. Once any panel has an image in it, the ratio can’t be changed. | | **New Project** | Opens a new project in a new tab. Your current work stays as it is. In a narrow window, it shows only **+** or is hidden. | | **Undo** · **Redo** | Undo or redo your last change. Both are paused while drawing is in progress. | | **Publish** | Posts your comic to the GenToon Community. | | **Download** | Shows a preview of what will be saved, then downloads your comic as images. | ## Left side: Create, Series, and SNS Auto ![GenToon screen](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/studio-overview.94507cd0.1x.webp) - **Create** — Your worlds, characters, and settings live here. Create a new character or world, chat with a character, or open Character Studio. - **Series** — Opens the Serial Room in place of the canvas and right panel. Manage your series and episodes there, and use it when you’re making the next episode. While it’s open, the top bar hides the save, ratio, undo/redo, Publish, and Download buttons. Click the **Create** tab to get back to the canvas. - **SNS Auto** — Post or schedule your comics on your own Instagram and Threads accounts. It opens the SNS screen in place of the canvas and right panel. See [SNS automation at a glance](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/sns/sns-basics). - The credits icon and number at the very bottom — Your remaining credits. Click it to open **My Credits**, which shows your plan credits and purchased credits separately. - At the bottom of that window, click **Buy Credits** to top up on the **Pricing** page. Above the credits number are the **Check in** and **Feedback** buttons. **Check in** shows only until you’ve checked in that day. Click it to collect your check-in credits. Use **Feedback** to tell us what got in your way or what you’d like to see. Use the collapse button at the top of the left panel to fold it away and give the canvas more room. For details, see [Create a character](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/characters/character-basics), [Create a world](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/worlds-and-series/worldview-basics), and [Earn free credits](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/credits-and-billing/free-credits). ## Middle: the canvas ![GenToon screen](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/studio-overview.94507cd0.1x.webp) - Panels stack from top to bottom. Click one to select it: it gets a purple outline and a **Selected** tag. - Each panel has a vertical strip of tool buttons on its right. Hover over a button to see its name. See [Working with panels](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/studio/cuts) for details. - Above the canvas, you can rename the project and switch between the **Webtoon** and **Reel** tabs. Reels turn your finished panels into a vertical video. - Below the canvas, you’ll see the total panel count and zoom controls. The **Fit** button at the far right sizes the panels to fill the width of the canvas area. ## Right side: Agent Mode and Single Panel ![GenToon screen](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/studio-overview.94507cd0.1x.webp) - **Agent Mode** — Chat with Zennyang to plan and draw several panels at once. This tab is open when you first enter the Studio. See [Agent chat basics](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/agent/agent-basics). - **Single Panel** — Pick one panel on the canvas and set it up yourself: choose the characters, describe the scene, pick an art style and a generation model, then click **Generate Image**. See [Make one panel at a time](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/studio/single-panel). ### Beginner and Master When you select the **Single Panel** tab, a **Beginner** / **Master** switch appears right below the tab buttons. In Beginner, you just describe the scene and the AI handles the framing and placement. In Master, you decide the camera framing, where each character stands and faces, and even where the speech bubbles go, panel by panel. ![GenToon screen](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/studio-single-panel.791db136.1x.webp) > **Note:** Drawing in Master mode is for subscribers only. Master mode always draws with the Pro model, so each image costs 25 credits. Master settings don’t apply to conversations in Agent Mode. > **Note:** You can see the subscription plans on the **Pricing** page. ## Keyboard shortcuts | Keys | What they do | | --- | --- | | Ctrl + Z (Mac: ⌘ + Z) | Undo | | Ctrl + Y (Mac: ⌘ + Shift + Z) | Redo | | Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V (Mac: ⌘ + C / ⌘ + V) | Copy and paste the selected bubble, text, or image | | Delete or Backspace | Delete the selected bubble, text, or image (this never deletes a panel) | | Esc | Cancel a move or resize in progress | | Ctrl + mouse wheel (Mac: ⌘ + wheel) | Zoom the canvas in or out | > **Tip:** Shortcuts are paused while you’re typing in a text box. While drawing is in progress, only Undo and Redo are paused. Copy, paste, and delete still work. ## FAQ **How do I change the canvas aspect ratio?** You can only change the ratio while no panel has an image yet. To start over with a different ratio, open a new project with the **New Project** button (**+**) in the top bar and choose the ratio before you draw anything. **Do I have to click save?** You don’t have to. A new project is saved and shows up in **Projects** when you send Zennyang your first message or draw something for the first time. After that, changes save automatically shortly after you stop editing. To save before then, click **Save Project**. If you try to close the page with unsaved changes, your browser will ask you to confirm. Leaving through the GenToon logo doesn’t ask, so if the save button has a purple outline, click it first. ## Related articles - [Find your way around](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/getting-started/navigate-the-interface) - [Working with panels](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/studio/cuts) - [Create, open, and manage projects](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/studio/projects) - [Agent chat basics](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/agent/agent-basics)
