We have a lot of reasons why an InDesign user should use VivaDesigner as an addition or replacement to InDesign. Here are just some.
If you want to continue using InDesign on the desktop, VivaDesigner Web Edition is a must-have for professional users to edit InDesign documents in the web browser.
You can completely replace InDesign with VivaDesigner Desktop or Web Edition and enjoy all the benefits of VivaDesigner that InDesign does not offer.
With the purchase of VivaDesigner (Desktop) you get a lifetime license. With the lifetime VivaDesigner Free Edition, you can even open and edit InDesign documents for free.
Use the advantages of the desktop and web edition as an agency or company if you want to work in a real team without installing any software.
With VivaDesigner you buy a license that you can use on ANY desktop platform. So not only Windows or macOS but also Linux. You can change the desktop platform at any time.
With VivaDesigner you do not need a version for Roman, Arabic and Hebrew or Asian languages. ALL languages are united in one program version.
If you own InDesign or any other commercial layout program, you can purchase the low-cost cross-update.
The InDesign user interface is very similar to the VivaDesigner user interface. Therefore, you will find your way around very quickly.
Simply open your InDesign documents (INDD, IDML, etc.) directly in VivaDesigner Desktop or Web Edition in a brilliant quality as if you had never used any other program. Read the list of all supported InDesign formats.
Compared to InDesign with its team options and the web version, VivaDesigner offers you completely new possibilities in designing workflows.
VivaDesigner is the first program to use artificial intelligence (AI) for translations and image editing, for example, and will consistently expand these options in the future.
Integrate VivaDesigner Desktop or Web Edition into your workflow, web and server application or website as we have done this on this website.
With perfect InDesign® document import, you can take over your existing work at any time, and you have access to millions of templates.
Note: Please drag the red slider in the image to compare the quality and precision between InDesign® and VivaDesigner.
You can edit your InDesign® documents directly in your web browser without any installation and with all options.
This makes VivaDesigner not only the ideal replacement, but also the optimal extension for InDesign®.
If you want to use VivaDesigner not only as a supplement, but as a replacement for InDesign, you need precise information about the differences. VivaDesigner and InDesign have thousands of options and an almost identical basic concept.
Both programs are 99% identical. Nevertheless, there are crucial differences. We have listed the most important functions to help you decide in favor of VivaDesigner*.
