How to Make a Poster on Mobile (Free, for Your Shop)
You don’t need a computer or design software to make a good shop poster. A phone and five minutes are enough, if you know what to write and which size to pick.
Option 1: Free in your browser (no install)
- Open the festival poster maker (or the sale poster maker) on your phone.
- Choose the festival and the language, the greeting is written for you.
- Type your offer, shop name, phone and area.
- Pick a design and a size: Square for chats, WhatsApp Status for Status.
- Tap Share on WhatsApp (Android) or Download.
Nothing you type is uploaded, the poster is made on your phone.
Option 2: Chat with an AI designer
In the Top Dukaan app, you tell Teena, the AI designer, what the poster is for, your offer and the dates, in your own language (the app works in 16 languages), and she sends back a finished poster. You can ask for changes in plain words.
What to write
Five lines: greeting or hook, one offer with a number, the deadline, your shop name, and phone/WhatsApp. See 12 poster wording formulas.
