If you're not good with Photoshop or Gimp, you might check out mybannermaker.com

It's free to check out, but it imprints your banner with their url. If you like it, it's cheap to sign-up for their "VIP" benefits.

I used to use it a lot quickly create banners. I don't use it as much anymore, but it paid for itself back in the day, and I believe it's a one-time payment for a lifetime of use.

Any more simple but more professional solution?... maybe a software with templates, a way to do flash banners for example?

I use this alot, Easy Banner Maker Pro - Easily design Amazing Banners In Minutes! it works great and you can use gimp or photoshop elements or photoshop full version.

I use a Pixlr, its a free online application similar to photoshop but much easier to use.

Hope it helps

Learn Photoshop, it'll pay off in the end. I never understand how anyone can build sites without knowing at least Elements.

The Instant Banner Creator is the best option to create banner very easy and fast. It has many in built templates and wizards to help you guide on the job you like to make. It is the best graphically embedded and with various features in it.

My vote is absolutely for adobe photoshop.. All you need is there but the only single thing doesnt provided by Photoshop is Creativity and Idea which is the hardest part to think in order to create the best banner design

Try Banner Generator Pro by Ewen Chia.
Really good and that is what I use.
I'm sure there are others out there as well but this is what i'm used to and find really easy to use.

You can use the following:

123banner - it is a flash banner generator
BannerFans - a web 2.0 banner creation tool
open-eye Banner-Generator

You can try: bannersketch.com

Any software that do the same as bannersnack ??

I use adobe photoshop hard at first but you will get used onto it

Hi Mr. Webserve!
If you wish to make unique/best BANNER, so you make any version of install Adobe photo shop, but best is CS3. or you may also make banners by the help of Adobe illustrator. You make on Flash.I tell you one think that if you know how the make LOGO, so It's same as you make LOGO.
NOTE:-When will you prepare the banner, It's important to select best size of banners.

Thanks!

As mentioned here already XHeaderPro is easy to use and is fast.
It is of course much cheaper than Photoshop.

Hi, you can use Gimp to create a header,
Or even power point and just save it as other format, Jpg.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but everything else is junk compared to Photoshop. If you don't have the patience to learn how to make a simple banner in Photoshop (especially after you've bought it) - then maybe you should consider just paying someone to make the banners for you.

Hi Guys!
I'm new to the forums, my name is Kira and I love to stay up to date with new technologies! I've been using the ImageChef Facebook Timeline Profile Cover Tool to customize my profile lately.
It's pretty cool cause I can use my own images and text and move everything around and apply filter without having photoshop.
They have some pretty cool templates but I've mostly been making my own.

You guys should check it out at www(dot)imagechef(dot)com/ic/timeline-cover/

Photoshop is almost never out of the equation so it should be a good choice. It's freeware equivalent is GIMP, which is similar and different at the same time. These are but the installable software and don't include the different tools you can search for in the internet.

Learn to use photoshop a bit. If you use a banner creator tool your going to be wasting your time. I would never, EVER, EVER, let a banner premade from a website represent my site, company, or brand, or Micro Niche site for that matter.

Photoshop, coral draw are the best banner designing tools. Even, i like microsoft paint to create some basic banners for my website.

I used BannerFans.com a couple of times. Its free and doesn't imprint their logo or url on the banner so. So worth it to use.

I use the BANNER GRAPHICS TOOLS
The Fastest Way to Create Banners Online

No Design Skills Needed!

I think you are searching for an automation program, but the west way to make banners which fulfill your wishes is still Adobe Photoshop CS.

Macromedia Flash. Quickly and easy.

I think it is not smart choice to make banner without learning photoshop.

There are several designing tools and software’s presented on the web. But the most preferable and standard design software or tools are Adobe Photoshop, Flash and Coral Draw. According to me Adobe Photoshop cs6 is the best from the above mentioned list. Adobe Photoshop cs6 is the latest version and having rich features and techniques which will help you create unique and high-quality banner for your business.

you can download a free banner creator at bannernow.com.

You do have to put up with their text advert on the bottom of the banner (unless you pay), but I found this site very easy to use and have created all my banners with it.

XHeader is an excellent banner tool and easy to use. You can download it for free. Instant Banner Presence is another one and it's totally online. Both have lots of templates and great for IMers.

*jumps on postcount++ bandwagon like the 60 before him..*

Yeah mang, photoshop, typically spelled Photoshop, is the best.
xHeader is pretty good to. Gimp is OK if you swing that way, but Photoshop cs4-6 is FTW.

arrrgghh. me harties.

Duh......!!! obviously photoshop

You can either go for Photoshop or Illustrator, they both are good to create banner or logo for your website...

I use Photoshop most of the time for creating banner design, sometimes I try GIMP tools for banner making. But photoshop is my first and best choice for the designing purpose.

I'm not sure but you may like to try this one ,Test this web design tool TemplateToaster .

Use Pixlr . com - An online photo manipulator. It is very easy to use and have some features similar to Photoshop. If you have have time and skills then go for Illustrator or Photoshop and if you are a totally beginner then using pixlr will help you to create banner in a quick time without any expertise.

Hieee
I totally agrees with lots of people commenting for adobe photoshop, photoshop is really the best way to create banners ...
You should also try pixlr once...
That's you need..
