About This Module
Banner Creator is a free, browser-based design tool for building custom web banners with gradient backgrounds, typography controls, optional logos, and draggable image layers. No login or software installation required -- your banner renders live as you edit and downloads as PNG or JPG.
What Is Banner Creator?
Banner Creator is a visual canvas tool purpose-built for designing web banners, social media graphics, and ad creatives directly in the browser. Choose from standard dimension presets or enter custom pixel sizes, then style the background with two-color gradients and optional pattern overlays. Add a headline, subtitle, and call-to-action button with independent font, color, and alignment controls. Upload a logo with configurable size and position, and layer additional images that can be dragged and resized on the canvas. The finished design exports as a high-quality PNG or JPG file.
How It Works
Select a canvas size from the preset dropdown or enter custom dimensions. Pick two gradient colors, choose a direction, and optionally add a pattern overlay. Type your title, subtitle, and CTA label, adjusting fonts, colors, and text alignment as you go. Upload a logo and set its size and corner position. Add extra images that appear as draggable, resizable layers on the canvas. The preview updates in real time. When the design looks right, click Download PNG or Download JPG to save the final banner to your device.
