Xiumi Editor Review: A WeChat Publisher's Honest Take on Design-First Layout
Have you ever had this experience — articles laid out with ordinary editors always feel like something’s missing. Not ugly, but lacking character, looking just like everyone else’s articles?
That was me running a WeChat public account. Articles published using editors like 135 Editor or Yiban weren’t bad, but they all looked the same. I wanted more design-oriented layouts, but I didn’t have design skills myself.
Later, a designer friend recommended Xiumi Editor, saying “this tool has a stronger design aesthetic and can create more unique layouts.” I gave it a try, and it really is different.
What is Xiumi Editor? In One Sentence
Xiumi Editor is a WeChat public account layout tool focused on visual design, featuring beautiful cards, image-text layouts, dynamic charts, and more design-driven articles than ordinary editors. If you find standard layouts too plain and want more polished articles, give it a try.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Problem One: Generic Layouts, No Distinctive Style
Articles laid out with ordinary editors have the same few templates — everyone uses similar ones. Readers get aesthetic fatigue and won’t notice your article.
Xiumi Editor’s design templates are more refined and unique. Its card designs, image-text combinations, and infographic components all show strong design sense. The same content looks noticeably different when laid out with Xiumi.
I had an article with similar content to before, but after re-laying it out with Xiumi, several readers commented “this article’s layout is so beautiful.”
Problem Two: Wanting Data Visualization Without Design Skills
Sometimes articles need to display data — like “user growth trends” or “product sales comparisons.” Text descriptions are too dull, but creating chart images requires design skills.
Xiumi has dynamic chart components — input your data and it automatically generates visual charts. Bar charts, line charts, pie charts… various styles available. Placed in your article, the data is clear at a glance and more intuitive for readers.
I used this feature for a data report article, and readership was 50% higher than usual.
Problem Three: Unique Layouts Without Design Training
Without design experience, creating unique layouts is difficult. You don’t know how to match colors, choose fonts, or arrange layouts.
Xiumi’s highly customizable features can help. You can adjust color schemes, font styles, spacing, and alignment. While it can’t match professional designers, it’s more than enough for WeChat public account layouts.
Is It Hard to Learn? Slightly More Complex Than Ordinary Editors
- Open the official site (xiumi.us), you can use it without registering
- Click “New Article”, choose a blank or preset template
- Select components from the left panel, drag them onto the editing area
- Edit text and images within components
- Adjust styles, change colors and fonts
- Click “Export”, copy to the WeChat public account backend
It’s slightly more complex than 135 Editor, but you’ll get familiar after a few uses.
How Does It Compare to Similar Tools?
| Comparison | Xiumi Editor | 135 Editor | Yiban |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ease of Learning | More features, slightly complex | Simple operation | User-friendly |
| Visual Design | Beautiful design, very strong | Rich templates | Various styles |
| Creative Components | Dynamic charts, interactive cards | Full features | Basic functions |
| Customization | Highly customizable | Customizable | Flexible adjustments |
| Price | Free version available | Free version available | Free version available |
My advice: If you prioritize layout design and uniqueness, Xiumi is the best choice. If you prioritize efficiency and convenience, 135 Editor or Yiban is more suitable.
