Graphics (Beta)

What is Issuu Graphics?

If you have created Visual Stories in the past, you will be able to test a BETA version of our new Graphics feature. This feature will help you create, customise and share engaging social media content to promote your publications.

With this tool, you will be able to create Stories and Posts, download them and share them in your social media. You can use Issuu’s Graphics templates and edit them with your own images and text.

Accessing Graphics

You can access this feature by clicking the tab Graphics in the left side menu of your Publisher Home.

Here, you will see your Graphics library, where you can:

Create a New Graphic
Edit your existing Graphics
Delete your existing Graphics by clicking on the three dot menu on the top right corner of each Graphic.

You can also find the publication that you want to create a graphic from on your Publication List, and click over the Graphics icon “Create Graphic”. This will take you to the Graphics Editor.
Please, note that for now, you won’t be able to use assets from the particular publication.

The Graphics feature is also available when you open a publication from your Publications List, and click on “Repurpose”.

Please, note that for now, you won’t be able to use assets from the particular publication.
