Maker Studio

Create playful posters, newspaper clippings, scene cards, and character graphics.

Maker Studio is a set of six playful graphic makers that run in your browser. It is for anyone who wants a quick fun image for a group chat, party invite or social post: a vintage newspaper clipping, a wanted poster, a film clapper slate, a talking cat, a ninja text strike or glowing spell text. Each one exports as a PNG.

Features

What you can do with Maker Studio

Newspaper clippings

Set the masthead, headline, date line, byline and paper tint, add column rules and an optional EXTRA badge.

Wanted posters

Name the suspect, write the charge, set the reward and territory, and choose paper tone and a sheriff stamp.

Hollywood clapper slates

Fill in production, scene, take and director, pick a slate theme, and press action to hear the clap.

Talking cat

Type a line, choose a cat and mood, and the cat says it out loud using your browser's built-in speech voice.

Ninja strike and wizard spell text

Watch a ninja slash through a word, or cast a short spell in glowing type with sparks, runes and adjustable glow.

Export PNG at 3x

Every maker has an export button that renders the preview as a high-resolution PNG on your device.

What file do I get?

Each maker exports a PNG at three times the on-screen resolution.

How does the talking cat speak?
