What is it?

Qiaomu Design is a desktop Obsidian plugin for turning notes, ideas and images into editable covers and posters without leaving the vault. You start a design from the current note, pick a platform preset such as Xiaohongshu, YouTube or WeChat header sizes, and adjust text, shapes, images, layers and groups on a Fabric.js canvas. Designs are saved as .qcover files for later editing, and finished work exports to PNG, JPEG or WebP at 1x to 3x.

Manual layout, templates, fonts, stickers, freehand drawing and export work without any account or model configuration. AI features are optional and use providers you configure: an AI layout assistant can propose several text and layout options, and separate image tools handle generation and editing of selected regions. Image results are pixel images, so text baked into them is not editable.

The plugin includes a gallery that combines uploads, generation jobs, local folder references and Unsplash, and it ships a bundled default font library that can be installed with the full ZIP or downloaded on first use.
