3Years of experience tells me that wanting a drop-in free solution for this is ridiculously unreasonable. I don't mean that to be insulting to you at all, it's just that the level of integration necessary to achieve this is deep & complex.– benmarksCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 16:43

@benmarks : I am not requesting a drop-in free solution. My requirement is different bro. I am asking a free designing extension for my customizing it to my project.– Balaji KandasamyCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 18:16

Okay, then you should clarify because extension in the context of "free product designer extension" has a very specific meaning in Magento.– benmarksCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 19:21

Because I found commercial design tools only. Thats why I specified free product designer extension. Cool.– Balaji KandasamyCommented Jul 27, 2013 at 4:22

After searching for over a week - there is presently no free extension that meet your requirements. I suggest you look into some HTML5 Canvas javascript libraries to achieve at least the 'designer' portion of your requirement. There are currently a few dozen available freely. Here are a few of the most popular ones (according to # of Github watchers):
- http://www.createjs.com/#!/EaselJS
- http://kineticjs.com/
- http://jonobr1.github.io/two.js/
- http://fabricjs.com/
Here is an exhaustive list with features and # of github watchers, links, links to sites and demos; compiled by the author of Fabric.js, @kangax. This is a great feature matrix:

I imagine it would be fairly easy for you to develop one of these libraries into a fully-featured drop-in extension and contribute it back to the community.

I tried this extension: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/custom-product-designer-1.html Very good. It is easy to customize and no encrypted code, where as other available extension are encrypted. thanks
