Frequently asked questions
Is there a watermark?
No. The PNG you export is clean — no watermark, no badge, and no attribution added.
Do I need an account?
No account and no sign-in. Banner Maker runs entirely in your browser.
What sizes can I make?
Six aspect-ratio presets (1:1, 3:2, 5:4, 4:3, 2:1, 8:5) with a configurable base width, so you can match common social and header sizes.
Can I reuse a design?
Yes — save and load presets, or export and import them as a JSON file.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads it runs entirely in your browser — no internet connection, no sign-up, and no login. The downloadable single HTML file works completely offline.
