I am sure you must have been handed a flyer sometime or got one along with a newspaper. It’s a cost-effective way to inform people about something happening around. Usually, it is printed in poor quality on paper. If you were thinking of making a flyer, you would be wondering what to do. While you can get it designed from a professional designer, why not save a few bucks and create it yourself? Yes, a lot of online tools exist that let you make superb flyers at no cost. Don’t worry. We have done the hard work for you. Here we present to you 5 websites that help you in making flyers at no cost other than printing charges. Let’s check them out.
1. Canva
The most popular graphic designing website out there helps us in making flyers too. By default, the flyer size is A4. If you want a flyer of some other size, choose a different template or input a custom size. You get a variety of flyer categories here, such as events, real estate, business, promotions, sports, and more. The good thing about Canva is you can customize everything on the template. Be it the images, text, color, and other graphics. While it offers numerous free images and graphics, you can even add your custom photos and text. Canva even prints the flyers on your behalf. The price starts from $11 for 25 copies. Fortunately, it doesn’t add a watermark and lets you save in multiple formats such as PDF, JPG, and PNG. The website is free to use. Pros:

2. Crello
Next in the line is a Canva alternative — Crello, which offers similar features. You can modify the text — its style, font, and color. You can even change images and add effects to them. Similar to Canva, the website is free to use with additional paid content. However, it also has a lot of free content, such as photos, stickers, icons, frames, etc. Both websites support the drag and drop method of adding elements and that is why they are my favorite. If you like a new sticker or an icon, simply drag it to your template. By default, the flyer template size is 5×7-inches. After creating it, you can resize it anytime. Crello doesn’t offer printing services. Pros:

3. Piktochart
With a default size of A4, Piktochart resizes the content to letter size as well. And, if none of them matches your preference, you can set custom dimension as well. The content will resize automatically. Yes, similar to the other two sites, you can customize everything. Be it text, color, or images. It offers free pictures as well. The thing that captured my attention was the color scheme. You can change the overall color scheme with just a click. When it comes to saving the image, you only get PNG option in the free version. Pros:
