Just 12 excellent reasons for InDesign users to use VivaDesigner

We have a lot of reasons why an InDesign user should use VivaDesigner as an addition or replacement to InDesign. Here are just some.

Must-have addition to InDesign

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.

Replace InDesign

You can completely replace InDesign with VivaDesigner Desktop or Web Edition and enjoy all the benefits of VivaDesigner that InDesign does not offer.

No subscription, lifetime license

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.

Desktop & Web version

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.

Cross-platform

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.

No special version

With VivaDesigner you do not need a version for Roman, Arabic and Hebrew or Asian languages. ALL languages are united in one program version.

Cheap cross-update

If you own InDesign or any other commercial layout program, you can purchase the low-cost cross-update.

Easy learning curve

The InDesign user interface is very similar to the VivaDesigner user interface. Therefore, you will find your way around very quickly.

Brilliant InDesign import

Simply open your InDesign documents in VivaDesigner in a brilliant quality as if you had never used any other program.

New workflows

Compared to InDesign with its team options and the web version, VivaDesigner offers you completely new possibilities in designing workflows.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

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.

Full Integration

Integrate VivaDesigner Desktop or Web Edition into your workflow, web and server application or website as we have done this on this website.
