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: 

  • My Uploads - add your own media or record directly from the editor. You can also generate your own visuals using AI Images
  • Add templates by searching them through different filters like type, style and color.
  • Add shapes, clipart, stickers and social media icons. 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. You can also use the AI Writer from the right menu bar to generate text using AI.
  • Generate AI Subtitles or convert your text to audio with AI Voice.
  • Layout - Add a schedule, menu, table, or tear-off tabs or QR-code. 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.
