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.
Yard signs that read from a passing car
Every yard sign template here is drawn at 24 x 18 inches, landscape, the size most printers cut corrugated plastic to. Each keeps to a handful of words in large letters, because a yard sign is read for two or three seconds from a moving car.
Six to start from
A for sale sign with the agent's photo and phone, a campaign sign, a congrats grad sign with a photo, a garage sale sign with the address and an arrow, a lawn care sign with mower stripes, and a now hiring sign.
Printing it
Download the vector PDF and send it to a sign printer for 4 mm corrugated plastic with H-stakes. Ask for both sides printed if the sign stands at a right angle to the road.

Questions
What size is a yard sign?
24 x 18 inches (610 x 457 mm) is the common size; 18 x 24 portrait suits for rent signs. Change the size at the top.
How many words should a yard sign have?
As few as you can: a headline, one line of detail and a phone number or address is about what a driver takes in.
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.
