@Veselka_Store I think it depends a lot on your operating system you use to create graphics. I have many listed on https://sanfrancisco.zone/resources/ and the two I use daily are GIMP (free/donation based and local on my laptop) and Kittl (free basic/limited version available and Internet based). I know many creators are very fond of Canva but I my self use that one rarely since I’m not that fond of that specific one and so it’s not listed on our resource page.
I also think that the ideas for a great banner is way more important than the tool you use to create it. With some of my collections I struggle to come up with a great idea.
Have fun creating! 😀
Edited to add a missing period.
Think of it as a room you wanted (or needed) to decorate. Depending on your topic once you start one part lends itself to the next one (hopefully). 🤞🏽
@Veselka_Store I can tonight. I only use my laptop at night and now (during day time) I’m on my phone and the banners don’t show on mobile. Which reminds me to tell you that you also should create a square for your collection for the visitors using a phone or tablet to browse and shop Zazzle. It’s the majority of visitors anyhow so creating a square for your collection is even more vital than creating a banner. I my self am way behind with such tasks, sigh.
@Veselka_Store See Col’s fabulous documentation: https://community.zazzle.com/t5/store-management/list-of-image-sizes-for-your-storefront/m-p/139
@Veselka_Store You actually should have both but in my opinion the squares are more important because more customers shop nowadays on mobile than using a laptop or pc to browse your collection (at least so far I can tell studying my own site's traffic).
I had a hard time picking a favorite but I'm going now with this media for my "2026 • Year of the Horse • San Francisco Chinatown" collection:
Square: https://www.zazzle.com/rlv/svc/view?realview=117936949593677382&max_dim=525
The banner is for desktop displays, the square for phones etc..
Images created using Ideogram, GIMP and Kittl.
@Veselka_Store If you work in Kittl create first a project art board in the correct size, then prompt the Kittl AI what you wanted. I‘m going to bed now, I will check in tomorrow again (if I will have a chance).
