Navigate to the editor page, where you can access a variety of templates by clicking on the templates dropdown. Alternatively, you create a design from scratch by utilizing the 'Create' button located at the top right corner of the page.

Using a template allows you to use and edit your picked template's layout, saving you time and effort in creating a new design from scratch. 

Templates are divided into categories. Choose the category that best serves your needs. If you don't find the right category, you can use the search dialogue at the top of the page. Use the image/video and size filters to refine your search parameters.

In the editor, you can make changes to the template using all kinds of editing tools. The most important tools are: 

  • Photo - add photos from your own device, Google Drive, Dropbox or Facebook. You can also add stock photos from stock graphic websites, all from our website. Available stock photo resources are: Storyblocks and Getty Images. 
  • Elements - add shapes, clipart, stickers, social media icons, and QR codes. You can choose from a vast library of fun elements.
  • Text - add and edit existing text boxes. You can change font, color, and size and apply effects to your text. See our video guide on adding text
  • Media - Add your own video or audio here, a stock video, stock audio or both. Create a playlist of audio in an order of your choosing. 
  • Layout - Add a schedule, menu, table, or tear-off tabs. Fine-tune your layout to get the best results. 
  • Draw - draw freehand anywhere on the design.
  • Background - Add a solid, gradient, or transparent background. Alternatively. You can choose to add your own background or select from stock photos. 
  • Resize - Want to change the dimensions of your design? You can select a new size, and your items will adjust accordingly.

Once you're done, just save your design, using the save button at the top right of the editor. The design will now be available in your My Designs

You can choose to download free and share it on social media. The free basic image is great for sharing online but is not appropriate for printing. If you want to print flyers or handouts, use the standard image download, and if you want a large, blown-up poster or banner, use the high-res image. 

To get the best quality for both prints and digital sharing, consider upgrading to PosterMyWall Premium. With a Premium subscription, you'll have access to high-resolution, watermark-free downloads for all your designs.
