Ready-made flow · Wide 3:1 banners for shops, events and booths
AI Custom Banner Generator
Idyllic's custom banner generator turns one line about your opening, event or offer into wide 3:1 banners for a storefront, booth or fence: a bold picture with the subject on the right, your headline and a supporting line, a pill for the date or offer, and your business name. Every word stays editable in Canvas.

How to make it
Four steps, about a minute of your time. These are real screens from the run above.
- 01
Say what it is for
Write 'What is the banner for?': the event, opening or offer, with the date. Add your 'Business or website' if it should be on the banner, then pick a look (Bold, Clean, Festive, Elegant, Retro or Neon) and up to four variations.

- 02
Watch it get designed
The AI writer writes a 2-5 word headline, one supporting line and a pill for the date or offer, using only your brief. Seedream 5 makes a different wide picture for each banner with the subject on the right, then Idyllic sets the type. Preview the plan free first.
- 03
Compare the banners
Every banner appears side by side, next to its picture without type, so you can choose the image that suits the occasion.
- 04
Edit and download
Open one in Canvas to change any word, font or color, or add your logo. Export a PNG: Standard for the web, or Large (4800×1600 px) for the print shop.
Why it beats
a template
Readable from across the street
A short headline, one supporting line and a pill, set big on the calm side of the picture with a dark fade behind them, so they read on any background.
Text kept off the edges
Type sits inside a margin around the banner, clear of the hems and grommets a print shop adds.
A picture made for a wide format
Seedream 5 makes each picture with one clear subject on the right third, inside a central band, and leaves the left side simple for your words.
Copy from your brief only
The headline, date and offer come from what you wrote. The writer never adds a discount, a date or a promise you did not give.
Edit every layer
Canvas has 144 fonts, text effects and shapes. Upload your logo, place a photo of your shop over the picture, or select part of the image and describe a change.
What makes a banner work
- Five words or fewer in the headline. People read banners in passing.
- Make the date or the offer the second-biggest thing on it.
- Order a 3:1 size, like 2×6 or 3×9 ft, so the design fits without cropping.
- Keep text about 2 in inside the edge, clear of hems and grommets.
- Give one website or phone number, short enough to remember.
- Check it from across the room on your screen before you send it to print.
Vinyl banner sizes and specs
| Idyllic banner | 2400×800 px, or 4800×1600 Large | 3:1, PNG |
|---|---|---|
| 3:1 banners | 2×6, 3×9 and 4×12 ft | The same shape as the design, so it fits without cropping |
| 2:1 banners | 2×4, 3×6 and 4×8 ft | The most popular sizes, but taller than 3:1, so the design would need more picture above and below |
| Resolution | 100-150 ppi at full size | What shops often ask for; the Large export gives 100 ppi at 48×16 in and about 67 ppi at 6×2 ft |
| Hems and grommets | Grommets every 2-3 ft | Keep text about 2 in inside the edge |
Banners are read from a distance, but requirements vary. Before you order a large banner, ask your shop what resolution and bleed they need for your size.

Questions
How do I create a custom banner?
Describe what it is for in one line, with the date or offer, add your business or website, pick a look and run the flow. You get three finished banners; open one in Canvas to adjust it and download a PNG.
Is the custom banner generator free?
You can preview the whole flow free: real AI copy with sample images, so you can check the plan. Running it for real is on Plus ($10.50 a month, billed yearly) and uses 27 credits for three banners. The free plan also includes 3 free images a day in the image studio.
What size should my banner be?
Idyllic banners are 3:1, the shape of 2×6, 3×9 and 4×12 ft banners. The popular 3×6 and 4×8 ft sizes are 2:1, so they would need a taller design. For a storefront or a 6 ft table, 2×6 ft is a good fit.
What image resolutions are available?
Standard is 2400×800 px, for websites and screens. Large is 4800×1600 px, for print: 100 ppi at 48×16 in, about 67 ppi at 6×2 ft. Ask your print shop what they need for bigger sizes.
Can I use my own images for banner creation?
The flow makes the picture for you. In Canvas you can upload your own photo or logo as a new layer, remove its background there, and place it over or instead of the generated picture.
Can I print the banner on vinyl?
Yes. Download the Large PNG and send it to your print shop. They add hems and grommets; the layout already keeps text away from the edges.
Can I use the banner online too?
Yes. The 3:1 shape also works as a website header or an event page banner. Paid plans include a commercial license.
