If you design on a PC, you've probably met the same wall we did. You find a tool you love — for a lot of people that's Xara — and then the ground shifts: an update you didn't ask for, a licence tied to one machine, files you can't open anywhere else, and a creeping sense that the best design software assumes you're on a Mac. We felt that pain, so we built the thing we wanted.
What Xara gets right
Credit where it's due. Xara is fast, its vector engine is genuinely good, and for years it was one of the few serious design apps that treated Windows as a first-class citizen. If it works for you, that's great. This isn't a takedown.
Where PC users get stuck
The friction usually isn't the drawing — it's everything around it. Installing and updating on a locked-down work or school PC. A licence that lives on one computer. Project files in a format nothing else reads. And when you look for an alternative, half the "best design app" lists quietly assume you'll just buy a Mac.
How ShoutCreate is different
ShoutCreate runs in your browser. There's nothing to install, so it works the same on any Windows laptop, a Chromebook, a locked-down office PC, or a tablet. It's always the latest version because there's no update to run. Your work autosaves as you go, and you can install it as an app if you want an icon on the desktop.
Most importantly: what you make is yours. Export real, open files — SVG, PNG, PDF — and sell what you create with no watermarks and no lock-in. No format that traps you, no licence that strands you on one machine.
We're not claiming feature-for-feature parity with a twenty-year-old desktop suite — we're honest about that. What we are is a fast, modern, genuinely cross-platform place to do vector design, painting, patterns, 3D product mockups, documents and animation, without needing to leave Windows or leave the browser.
Try it in ten seconds
There's no sign-up wall to look around and no card required. Open the studio and draw something. If you've been putting off switching because every alternative seemed to point at a Mac, this one doesn't. See pricing — it's free while we're cooking.
