Free online print and design tools

DPI calculators, print size converters, bleed/margin setup, and pre-press preparation tools.

Six design tools that compose artwork on an HTML canvas and export it at print resolution, with no watermark and no export limit. Business Card Maker offers sixteen layouts across horizontal and portrait orientations and six physical sizes: the US standard 3.5 by 2 inches rendered at 1050 by 600 pixels, the European 3.35 by 2.17 (85 by 55 millimetres), the Japanese 3.58 by 2.17, a 2.5 inch square, a 2.75 by 1.1 mini card and a 7 by 2 folded card. Turn the separate bleed and safe-zone guides on while you position things and off again before you download, because the export copies the same canvas the guides are drawn on; output is PNG or JPEG at 1x, 2x or 3x, and the US card already sits at 300 dots per inch at 1x. Flyer Maker carries ten stock sizes with their real proportions: US Letter, A4, A5, half letter, a DL rack card, tabloid, square, postcard, A3 and US Legal, each with themed starting layouts for events, sales, concerts, services, job fairs, workshops, menus and property listings, and exports PNG, JPEG with a quality slider, or WebP at 1x, 2x or 3x. Label Maker is the sheet-aware one: pick Avery 5160 at one by 2.63 inches in three columns of ten, Avery 5163, 5164 or 5167, a name badge, a two-inch circle or a custom size, and it lays out the full grid so a sheet of sticker stock prints aligned. Its ten label types include product, shipping, address, return address, name badge, warning, nutrition facts, QR-style, inventory and bottle labels. Podcast Artwork works square and exports at 3000 by 3000, the maximum Apple Podcasts and Spotify accept, with 1600 for Spotify's recommendation, 1400 for Apple's published minimum, and 500 and 300 for web previews and thumbnails. Product Mockup drops your screenshot or artwork into a drawn device or object — iPhone, Android, iPad, MacBook, mug, billboard and more — at front, tilted or landscape angles, with the placement area defined per angle. Social Proof Generator is the one that does not make a picture at all: it builds logo bars, testimonial cards, star ratings, stat rows and trust badges and hands you copyable HTML and inline CSS to paste into a landing page. Everything is RGB throughout, because that is what a browser canvas produces.

How to choose the right tool

Ask what the artwork is printed on. On a sheet of pre-cut sticker stock, only Label Maker is right, because it knows the column and row grid of Avery 5160, 5163, 5164 and 5167 and lays the whole page out so the cuts fall where the die does. On card stock from a print shop, use Business Card Maker and switch the bleed guide on first — a printer that trims to size will eat several millimetres of any edge-to-edge design — then switch it off before downloading. On plain paper from your own printer, or handed to a shop as a single page, Flyer Maker, choosing A4 outside North America and US Letter inside it. Not printed at all: Podcast Artwork exists because Apple and Spotify reject artwork below their minimum and pixellate anything upscaled, so start at 3000 square. Product Mockup and Social Proof Generator are both for screens rather than paper — one wraps a screenshot in a device, the other produces a snippet of markup for a page. If you only need a logo or a photo resized, that belongs in the images hub rather than here.

Frequently asked questions

Will these files print at 300 DPI?

They can, if you export at the right scale. Business Card Maker draws the US card at 1050 by 600 pixels, which over 3.5 by 2 inches is exactly 300 pixels per inch at 1x, and its 2x and 3x exports give headroom for trimming and for the larger folded format. Flyer Maker's canvas dimensions are proportional rather than absolute, so an A4 flyer at 1x is roughly 100 DPI and needs the 3x export to approach 300. The rule is straightforward: multiply the physical size in inches by 300 and export at whatever scale reaches that pixel count.

Can I get CMYK output or a print-ready PDF?

No, and this is the real limit of a browser-based design tool. An HTML canvas is an RGB surface and its export methods write PNG, JPEG or WebP — there is no CMYK colour space, no spot colours, no ICC profile embedding and no vector PDF path. Most online print services accept high-resolution RGB files and convert them themselves, which is fine for flyers, labels and business cards. If your printer insists on CMYK with crop marks, open the exported PNG in a layout application and convert there, and expect saturated blues and bright oranges to shift on conversion.

What are the bleed and safe-zone guides for?

Commercial printing puts several cards on a large sheet and slices them apart, and the blade lands within about a millimetre or two of where it should. Bleed means extending any background colour or image past the trim line so a slightly off cut still shows your design rather than white paper. The safe zone is the opposite margin, keeping text and logos far enough inside the trim that they cannot be clipped. In Business Card Maker they are two independent toggles, a red dashed bleed rectangle and a green dashed safe zone, and they are drawn onto the same canvas the download copies — so turn both off again before you export, or the lines ship to the printer.

Which Avery label sheets does the label maker support?

Avery 5160 at 1 by 2.63 inches in a three-by-ten grid, 5163 at 2 by 4 inches in two columns of five, 5164 at 3.33 by 4 inches, 5167 at 0.5 by 1.75 inches in four columns of twenty, plus a 3 by 4 inch name badge, a 2 inch round label, a 3 inch square, a 1 by 3 inch barcode strip, a 3.5 by 4.5 inch wine label and a custom size you define. The tool renders the full sheet grid rather than a single label, so the layout matches the die-cut stock. Always print one test page on plain paper and hold it against the real sheet before committing a box of labels.

Why does podcast artwork need to be 3000 by 3000?

Because that is the ceiling Apple Podcasts and Spotify publish, and starting at the maximum is the only way to avoid an upscale. Directories generate their own smaller derivatives — the tiny square in a now-playing bar, the medium tile in a search result — by downscaling your file, which is lossless in appearance. Going the other way is not: a 500 pixel image blown up to 3000 looks soft and blocky, and shows most on text. The tool also exports at 1600 for Spotify, 1400 for Apple's stated minimum, and 500 or 300 for previews, but there is rarely a reason not to submit the largest.

Does the social proof generator produce an image?

No, it produces markup. Choose a logo bar, testimonial card, star rating, stats row or trust-badge set, fill in the content, and the output is HTML with inline CSS you copy and paste into your own page. That keeps it selectable, searchable, responsive and readable by screen readers, all of which a flattened picture of a testimonial would destroy. It also means the logos in a logo bar are images you supply yourself, so only use marks you are actually entitled to display.
