It provides you options like layout, text, border, effect, and save on the top. Above the given options lies the preview display, where it shows the update banner image soon after hitting the Reload banner button “Ctrl+X”, which is located to the right side of the window.
You can select the size of the image and then make the background selections. You can also opt to upload the image from your computer whose size should not exceed 384 KB. You can also select the background color (start color and end color) using the RGB color panel. I’ve selected the size along with the layout of the background, instead of uploading any image and then clicked on button “Ctrl+X” to move further to write text.
It provides you three columns where you can write the text for line 1, line 2, and line 3. Simply type the desired text into the input filed and then click on “font face” to select the font type, if required. Then choose the font color, font size, alignment, and distance from the provided options. Use the horizontal sliders to set the location of the text on the banner image.
Then you can choose the size of the border with the help of horizontal slider and at the same time set the color of the border using the RGB color panel.
Among the 9 effects you can select the desired effect which you wish to apply on the banner image. It provides you a check box which you can check to apply the effect on the background ignoring the text. If you are least interested in applying effects, then you can choose the first thumbnail “No effect” and proceed to grab the banner image.
This free banner making app provides you six options which you can select accordingly, in order to generate the desired code. It generates codes for direct banner image link (download as PNG file), html code for webpages, Myspace header banner, Myspace masthead banner, and Myspace extended network banner.

If the size of the uploading image gets increased form KB’s to MB’s and some animations are added, then surely I would consider this banner making app, as one of the best banner creator.
