Free Banner Maker

Free Banner Maker is an intuitive and lightweight software utility created to help you design banners in picture or animated form, which you can then display on your website or blog.

The application features a neatly-structured and accessible interface, the main window comprising all of the available functions in a single, compact location.

Being quite intuitive and uncomplicated, it is safe to say that you will be able to work with Free Banner Maker from the first run, even if your experience with such tools might be limited.

For starters, you should input the text that you want to display in your banner, adjusting the font, the style and the size of the text, while also being able to make use of effects (‘Strikeout’ or ‘Underline’). You can opt for a ‘Text Color’ and a ‘Text Position’, which you can preview in the dedicated window.

From the right-side panel of Free Banner Maker, you can define the width and height values, as well as the ‘Background’ color, having the possibility of using a ‘Gradient’. At the same time, you can load a locally stored picture to use as background for your design.

Moreover, the tool supports animating your text, allowing you to determine the delay in milliseconds and the ‘Movement’ type, namely ‘Right’, ‘Left’, ‘Down’ or ‘Top’. Since the banner can be previewed in real time, you can decide if there is anything else left to modify before saving it to JPG format, as a static image, or to GIF, if you wish to preserve the movement.

To conclude, Free Banner Maker is a handy and easy to work with program that can help you create still or animated banners from scratch, enabling you to tinker with several different aspects of the image in order to obtain the result you are after.
