Flyer maker

The editor opens with a flyer template already on the canvas, and every part of it can be changed. Select a text box to retype it, then adjust the font (more than 40 free fonts), weight, size, color or gradient, letter spacing and alignment. Outline, shadow and a highlight background help text stand out on top of a busy photo.

To replace the picture, drop in a JPG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC photo. Crop, pan and zoom it inside its frame, or put it in a circle, arch or rounded rectangle. Add shapes, arrows, lines and recolorable stickers, or switch the background to a color, gradient, pattern or full-bleed photo.

If you make flyers for a business, save your colors, fonts and logo in the brand kit, then apply your brand colors to any template in one click. The layers panel, smart alignment guides and undo/redo work the way you would expect from a desktop design app.

Switch sizes at any time: the layout adapts automatically, so the same design can become a Letter flyer, a story and a square post. Print sizes include a 3 mm (about 1/8 in) bleed, and the editor shows the trim line and the safe zone so nothing important gets cut off.

A flyer has a few seconds to make its point. Cover these, in this order of size:

1. Headline: what it is. Community Yard Sale, Grand Opening, Lost Dog.
2. The hook: the offer or the reason to care. Half off everything after noon, Free coffee all weekend.
3. When and where: Saturday, 05/16/2026, 8 AM to 1 PM, 412 Oak Street. Always include the day of the week.
4. Call to action: Call to book, Scan to sign up, Bring a friend.
5. Contact: phone, website or social handle. A QR code from the QR code generator saves people from typing a long link.

Leave out anything that does not help someone decide to show up, call or buy.

• One big headline. It should be readable from across the room. If the details do not fit, cut words instead of shrinking everything.
• Two fonts at most: a display font for the headline and a plain one for details.
• Strong contrast. Light text on a dark photo, or dark text on a light area. Use the highlight background or a shadow when text sits on a photo.
• One accent color for the offer or the date ties the design together.
• Keep text inside the safe zone so trimming never clips a phone number.
• Use your sharpest photo. A phone photo is fine for Letter size; for 11 × 17, use the original file rather than a screenshot.
• Align everything. The snapping guides make it easy to line up text blocks on one edge.

Download the PDF for a print shop: it is 300 dpi with bleed and crop marks, which is what printers ask for. For home printing on Letter paper, print at Fit to page; most home printers cannot print to the edge anyway, and keeping key text in the safe zone means nothing important is lost. A light, glossy text-weight paper suits handouts, while a heavier card stock holds up better on a bulletin board.

To share online, export a PNG or JPG at up to 3× resolution, or an SVG if someone needs a vector file. Your photos and text are processed in your browser and never uploaded. For larger wall posters, use the poster maker; for a design that starts from a blank canvas, open the design studio.
