Poster Maker

Layouts for sales, events, hiring notices, quote cards and menus. You type over the sample text, choose a colour set and add a photo where the layout has room for one. The poster is drawn on a canvas inside this page and saved as a PNG. It is not a design editor — you cannot drag things around or add new boxes.

Four are free to use and export. The rest are drawn here so you can see what they are, but they cannot be opened yet.

Where your file goes

Nowhere. This page downloads a small program into your browser, and that program reads the file straight from your disk. The program comes from this site like any image or stylesheet — but your file only ever travels from your disk into your own browser tab.

Why some templates are locked

The four free ones are the whole tool, not a trial: same export size, no watermark, no account, no daily limit. The other six are held back for a paid pack that is not on sale yet — there is no button to press and no price to quote. When it does go on sale the free four stay exactly as they are.

Why this one

What you get that the big converters cannot offer.

Your photo is never uploaded

The picture you choose is read by this page on your own machine and drawn straight onto the canvas. Nothing is sent, so there is no copy of your photo on anyone else’s server.

No watermark, no account

What you download is the poster and nothing else. The free tier on the big template sites needs a sign-up, and several of them mark the export until you pay.

Full size straight away

Posters come out between 1080×1080 and 1080×1920 pixels — the sizes Instagram, a WeChat post or an A5 print want. There is no reduced free export.

A form to fill in, not a canvas to learn

Each layout gives you its own fields, one colour set and at most one photo. That is deliberately all of it: nothing to align, nothing to nudge, nothing to undo.

How to use it

Pick a template. The buttons above the list narrow it to one kind of poster.

Type over the sample text, choose a colour set, and add a photo if the layout has a frame for one. Drag the picture in the preview to move it and use the slider to zoom.

Press Download PNG. Your browser writes the file straight to your downloads folder.

When people use it

A sign for the window by lunchtime

A price change or a weekend offer that has to be printed and taped up today, not designed over a week.

An event nobody has announced yet

A date, a place and one photo is most of what a small event poster needs.

A hiring notice with a face on it

Shops and kitchens hire off a notice by the door. The photo of the team is the part that makes people read it — and the part you would rather not upload.

Questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Your browser opens the file from your disk and draws it onto the canvas in the page. The PNG is written by the same canvas. Nothing about your poster goes over the network.

Can I move the text or add my own box?

No. Each layout has fixed positions and you fill them in. If a line is too long for its space the size drops until it fits, but the box stays where it is. If you need to place things freely, this is the wrong tool — you want a real design editor.

Which fonts does it use?

The ones already on your computer — the system sans and serif. Nothing is downloaded from a font service, which is part of why the page loads quickly, and also why the same poster can look slightly different on someone else’s machine.

Can I print it?

For a window sign or a noticeboard, yes: 1080 pixels across is about A5 at 150 dpi, or A6 at 300. For anything that goes to a printer as a proper job, it is too small.

Why are some templates locked?

Four are free and complete — same size, no watermark, no limit on how many you make. The rest are held back for a paid pack that is not on sale yet, so there is nothing to buy and no price to quote. The free four will not change when it is.
