The design maker is loading.

How it works

  1. Pick a sign

    Shop front, opening hours, open, wayfinding, restrooms, door plate, building directory, clinic, no smoking, wet floor, fire exit, reserved parking, cafe A-board, for rent, lightbox, acrylic office sign, totem or welcome. Each opens at the size it is usually made.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Questions

Can I make a sign for cutting on a CNC router or a laser?

Yes: download the SVG, then open it in the sign making converter to get a DXF with real units for the router or laser.

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.
