Customizing Your Design
Your timeline has content. Now let's make it look good.
Choosing a theme
Switch to the "Design & Export" tab (step 2 in the editor). You'll see the style controls: theme, layout, and font.

There are 14 themes to choose from:
- Warm Cream — the default, works for almost everything
- Navy Blue — formal, great for corporate events and galas
- Soft Pink — weddings, bridal showers, baby showers
- Sage Green — outdoor and garden events
- Art Deco Gatsby — black and gold, high drama
- Brooklyn Industrial — modern, urban feel
- And 8 more — Champagne Gold, Corporate Formal, Silicon Valley, Watercolor Pastels, Scandi Minimal, Autumn Harvest, Winter Frost, Dusty Lavender
Click any theme to preview it instantly. The preview panel updates in real time so you can compare options quickly.


Layout modes
Below the theme picker, choose how items are arranged:
- Left-aligned — clean, single column. The default and most versatile.
- Center-aligned — items centered under a vertical spine. Formal look.
- Compact cards — items as individual cards in a tighter layout. Fits more items per page.
Font presets
Four free font presets change the typography of your exported image:
- Elegant (Playfair Display) — serif, classic
- Modern (Inter) — clean sans-serif
- Friendly (Open Sans) — warm and readable
- Playful (Caveat) — handwritten style, great for casual parties
The live preview
On desktop, the right column shows a live preview of your timeline. It updates when you switch themes, layouts, or fonts. On mobile, tap the "Preview" button to see a full-screen preview.
The preview is lower resolution than the final export — it's just for checking your choices before you download.
