Doory functions as a full design editor operating directly in a web browser, enabling users to create a variety of visual content such as posters, social media graphics, presentations, invitations, resumes, thumbnails, and business cards. Users can begin with one of ten editable templates or a blank canvas and modify every aspect of their design. The editor supports exporting finished work to multiple formats including PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, MP4, WebM, and animated GIF, with options for print-ready PDFs containing bleed and crop marks. All features are accessible without requiring an account, and guest designs are stored locally in the browser.

For users desiring control over their data, Doory can be self-hosted on a personal server using Docker Compose. A single command (`docker compose up`) launches the application, its API, a PostgreSQL database, and live collaboration services. The underlying technology stack combines React 19, TypeScript, Vite, Fabric.js, Yjs, and Zustand on the frontend with Django 5, Django REST Framework, Channels, and PostgreSQL on the backend. This setup ensures that all designs and uploads remain on infrastructure controlled by the user, with optional support for Redis and S3-compatible storage.
