Studio by Sticker Mule is a free online design tool that is extremely simple to use. You can start a design from scratch or select one from thousands of templates and customize it.
You do not require any prior expertise or skill in designing and this is what makes Studio an impeccable tool for people who aren’t graphic artists but love to build great designs. Companies can effectively use Studio as a great brand builder tool to design / print their logos, stickers and much more.
Once you are ready with your design you can download it for free (without any watermarks) in popular file formats like PDF, JPG, PNG and SVG, or use it to order customized prints from Sticker Mule. The entire process comprises of just a few clicks. Incidentally Sticker Mule is their flagship product that anyone can use to purchase custom printed products.
You can use Studio for creating designs for a variety of items including but not restricted to the following:
- Stickers
- Labels
- Poly Mailers
- Packaging Tapes

You can also use it to design social media posts, cover images, and online advertisements.
Once you select the required design type from one of the above or opt to start from scratch, you are taken to the Studio Editor. The interface is pretty simple and decent with the ‘Templates’ panel on the left and the ‘Canvas’ on the right. To further customize your design, you can add Text, Photos and other Design Assets (Vector Graphics) from the toolbar adjacent to the Templates Panel. You can also choose to upload any image from your local disk. The Horizontal Toolbar above the Canvas helps you to change the Foreground and Background colors and the size of the design.
