Graphics Editing Program Recommendations

Simple Booth offers a wide range of built-in tools to customize your layouts directly within the app, often eliminating the need for external design software. However, if you want to create highly specific or elaborate branding, you can design your assets in a graphics editing program and import them into your settings.

File Sizes and Dimensions

Most design programs will prompt you to select canvas dimensions in pixels as your first step. While your design can be created in any aspect ratio, the final file size must be under 8MB to be uploaded to your account.

Once you upload your graphic to your settings, you can further resize and position the file to fit your layout perfectly.
