How it works
Pick a sign
Shop fronts (serif on cream, or gold leaf on black), opening hours, open and closed, WiFi, wayfinding, restrooms, door plates, staff only, a building directory, a clinic, safety signs (no smoking, wet floor, fire exit, CCTV, hand washing, hard hats), reserved parking, a cafe A-board, a menu board, a hanging shop sign, for rent and open house, lightbox, acrylic, totem, welcome and wait to be seated. Each opens at the size it is usually made.
Make it yours
Click any word to type, any shape or symbol to recolour. Your name, logo, phone and colours go in once under Brand. Sign symbols (restroom figures, arrows, exit, no smoking) are in Elements.
Download for the sign shop
A PDF at the sign's real size, a print PDF with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, or EPS and SVG for vinyl cutting and large-format printers.
A wash your hands sign for restrooms and kitchens
The hand washing sign is drawn as mandatory signs are: a white symbol in a solid blue circle, here a tap over an open hand. Under it, WASH YOUR HANDS and one plain line on how: soap, warm water, 20 seconds, then dry.
Employees must wash hands
Food businesses in many places must show this message at staff sinks. Change the line to Employees must wash hands before returning to work if that is the wording your inspector expects.
Blue means do this
Blue circles are instructions, red circles prohibitions, yellow triangles warnings and green panels safe ways out. Keeping to the colours is what makes a sign understood before it is read.

Questions
Can I laminate it for a wet area?
Yes: print it on paper and laminate it, or print on waterproof vinyl for a splash zone.
Can I translate it?
Click the words and type in your language; the symbol needs no translation.
What file does a sign shop need?
A vector PDF, EPS or SVG at the sign's real size. For a printed panel ask whether they want bleed (the print PDF adds 3 mm); for cut vinyl letters, send the SVG or EPS.
How big should the letters be?
A common sign-trade rule is 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet people read it from (about 25 mm per 3 m). A shop front read from across the street needs letters 150 mm or taller.
Can I put my logo and a QR code on a sign?
Yes. Your logo goes in under Brand or from Uploads. Make a QR code in the QR code generator, download the PNG or SVG and add it from Uploads.
Is the sign maker free?
Yes, converting is free: the conversion and checking the result cost nothing, and the work runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. The side-by-side preview on the converter pages comes with a free account. Saving the finished file is paid: $3.49 for one file ($3.99 for a technical file such as DXF, G-code, STL or embroidery) with no account needed, or included in a plan from $6.99 a month. Saving the print file is paid: one file without an account, or included in a plan.
