Hey! It’s Stephen. I founded Paper to help designers do their best work. Here are

some of my favorite things to do in Paper:

A. Real-time multiplayer (unlimited and free)

Paper works best with friends. So we added unlimited collaboration files to the free

plan. If you haven’t yet, invite your teammates and workshop in real-time with

multiplayer, comments, and cursor chat.

B. Ask your agent for 10 ideas, then mix and match the best

Say that you’re designing dashboard UI. Ask your agent to generate “10 layouts

exploring all possible interactions patterns”. Then explore the results and take the

best of each. I always find new flows this way.

Agent generated ideas

If you haven’t connected an agent using our MCP, make sure to follow these

instructions.

C. Use image gen, background remover, and right click → vectorize

Paper has powerful tools for manipulating images, plus a high-quality vectorizer

built in. I use Paper’s image tools for everything from social media posts to making

memes to exploring home decor decisions. Next time you need image editing, try Paper

first, you’ll love the results.

Have you tried Magic Swatches yet? Just right click an image and select “extract

colors”.
