A web-based editor and template library built for busy marketers and small businesses. Start from a professionally designed banner, add your logo and product photo, then use guided prompts to produce cohesive variants for ads, social posts, email headers, and landing pages.

  • Zero-cost editor with pre-sized templates for Facebook, Instagram, Google Display, YouTube thumbnails, email headers, and ecommerce banners
  • AI-assisted headline, CTA and layout suggestions so non-designers can iterate quickly
  • Export options tuned for web and email; simple naming guidance for campaign organization

Channel-ready presets

  • Display: leaderboard, medium rectangle, skyscraper for common Google Display sizes
  • Video & thumbnails: YouTube channel art and thumbnail-sized banners
  • Email & ecommerce: newsletter headers and landing-page hero variants

Built-in prompt examples

AI prompt clusters to speed creative

Use these ready prompts inside the editor to generate copy, layout notes, and resize instructions. Copy and paste them into the AI assistant to produce usable outputs in seconds.

Ad headline variants

Generate headline options for A/B testing and platform constraints.

  • Prompt: "Generate 6 short headlines (3–7 words) for a spring sale on handcrafted candles, tone: friendly, urgency: low"
  • Prompt: "Write 4 headline A/B test options with different emotional hooks: urgency, novelty, social proof, curiosity"

CTA and microcopy

Create CTAs that fit limited mobile space or match campaign tone.

  • Prompt: "List the elements that must stay visible when scaling to 1:1"

Keep fonts, colors and logos aligned

Brand consistency made simple

Import your brand colors and logo so every template you edit uses the same assets. The editor stores color swatches and font choices per project to make multi-size exports consistent.

  • Lock logo placement and minimum clear space for scale-safe exports
  • Export naming suggestions to keep campaign files organized

Ready for web and email

Export formats & platform prep

  • Common export formats: PNG for transparency, JPEG for smaller file size, and web-optimized settings for email headers
  • One-click presets apply recommended pixel dimensions and safe-area margins for each platform
  • Naming guidance for campaign-friendly exports (e.g., campaign_name_channel_size)

FAQ

Which banner sizes should I use for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google Display?

Use channel-specific presets: Instagram square (1:1) and story (9:16), Facebook feed (1:1 or landscape), LinkedIn feed (landscape), and common Google Display sizes like 300×250 (medium rectangle) or 728×90 (leaderboard). The editor includes one-click presets for each platform and safe-area guidance for text and logos.

What file format and resolution are best for web banners versus email headers?

For web display use optimized JPEG for photos (smaller file size) and PNG when transparency or sharp text is needed. For email headers choose a clean PNG or optimized JPEG at a width recommended by your email template—typically between 600–1200px wide. The editor offers export presets tuned for both web and email.

Can I import my own logo and brand colors to keep designs consistent?

Yes. Upload logos and save brand color swatches and fonts in the editor. These assets are available across templates and preserved when you generate resized variants to maintain visual consistency.

Is the banner maker truly free and are there limits on downloads or sizes?

The core editor and template library are available at no cost. Some advanced features or higher-resolution export options may require an account or a paid plan—visit /pricing for current details.

How do I resize a single design into multiple channel-ready variants without losing legibility?

Use the editor's one-click size presets plus the guided resize prompts. Keep primary focal points (product, logo, headline) within the defined safe area, shorten copy for smaller formats, and use the provided layout suggestions to adjust image cropping and text hierarchy.

What are quick design rules for high-converting CTAs and readable text on small banners?

Keep CTAs short and action-oriented, place them in a high-contrast block, use clear fonts and avoid more than two type sizes, and test copy length to fit the smallest target size. The editor provides CTA suggestions and contrast checks to validate designs.

Can I prepare banners that meet basic accessibility and contrast guidelines?

Yes. The editor includes contrast recommendations and minimum font-size suggestions for common banner sizes. Use high-contrast color pairs for CTA/background and keep text concise to improve readability for all viewers.

How do I prepare exported banners for ad platforms that require specific naming or size constraints?

Follow the editor’s export naming suggestions (campaign_channel_size) and use the platform presets to match exact pixel dimensions and safe-area margins. The built-in resize tool preserves focal elements and provides notes on what to crop or reorder when moving between aspect ratios.
