Step 1 · Open the editor

On any page, click the "Open Editor" button at the top right to go to the design screen. No install or login is needed.

Step 2 · Choose a background

A list of background images appears at the bottom of the editor. For a store opening, pick a bright, cheerful background; for a sale or event, a bold, high-contrast one makes your text stand out. Click a background and it appears in the preview instantly.

Step 3 · Enter your text

You can stack several lines of text. For example, a large heading of "GRAND OPEN" with a smaller line of "30% OFF everything" underneath. Drag each line to reposition it, and set its size and color separately.

Step 4 · Combine fonts

Each line of text can use a different font. A bold, punchy font for the heading and a clean sans-serif for the subtitle improves readability. There is also a feature that randomly combines backgrounds and fonts so you can compare many variations at once — keep shuffling until a combination clicks.

Step 5 · Set the size

Enter the actual production size as width × height in pixels. To scale while keeping the ratio, turn on "Lock ratio"; to adjust width and height independently, turn it off. Scroll the mouse wheel over the preview to zoom the view in and out.

Step 6 · Download

• SVG — vector format. Stays sharp at any scale, ideal for large banner prints.
• PDF — a solid vector document format for handing to a print shop.
• JPG — an image format for previews or online sharing.

When you hand the file to a print shop, check their required size and margins in advance and match them in the editor.
