Abstract
Graphic design is a creative and innovative process that plays a crucial role in applications such as e-commerce and advertising. However, developing an automated design system that can faithfully translate user intentions into editable design files remains an open challenge. Although recent studies have leveraged powerful text-to-image models and MLLMs to assist graphic design, they typically simplify professional workflows, resulting in limited flexibility and intuitiveness. To address these limitations, we propose PSDesigner , an automated graphic design system that emulates the creative workflow of human designers. Building upon multiple specialized components, PSDesigner collects theme-related assets based on user instructions, and autonomously infers and executes tool calls to manipulate design files, such as integrating new assets or refining inferior elements. To endow the system with strong tool-use capabilities, we construct a design dataset, CreativePSD , which contains a large amount of high-quality PSD design files annotated with operation traces across a wide range of design scenarios and artistic styles, enabling models to learn expert design procedures. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PSDesigner outperforms existing methods across diverse graphic design tasks, empowering non-specialists to conveniently create production-quality designs.
