Flyer sizes
Common flyer sizes are A5 (148x210mm) for handed-out flyers, A4 (210x297mm) for poster-style flyers, and Letter (8.5x11in) for US printing. For digital sharing, a 1080x1350px portrait format works well across most social media platforms. Camisual supports all of these via presets or custom canvas size.
Step-by-step: Design a flyer in Camisual
- 1
Set the canvas size
Sign in at camisual.com and click "New Design". Choose "Print" from the preset categories and select A5 or A4. If you are designing a digital flyer for social media, choose 1080x1350px under Social Media presets.

Create a strong background
Great flyers have a visually striking background. Switch to Shape mode and draw a full-canvas rectangle. Choose a bold fill colour, a vibrant gradient, or upload a high-quality background photo via "Add" and then "Upload Image".

Add the event title in large text
Click "Add" then "Add Text". Type the event or promotion name. This should be the biggest, most prominent element on the flyer. Use a font size of at least 80pt for A5, larger for A4. Pick a bold, high-contrast font in a colour that stands out against the background.

Add the key details
Add separate text objects for the date, time, location, and price. Use a smaller font size (24 to 36pt) and keep each detail on its own line so it is easy to scan. Avoid cramming everything into one text block.

Add a hero image
Upload a high-quality image related to the event, product, or service. Place it prominently on the flyer. Remove the background if you want it to sit cleanly on the background layer using the Image Editor BG tab.
- 6
Add your branding
Upload your logo and place it at the bottom or top of the flyer. Add a website URL or social media handle in small text.
- 7
Add a call to action
Every flyer needs a clear next step. Add text such as "Book at camisual.com" or "Get 20% off online". Make this text stand out with a contrasting colour or a button-shaped rectangle behind it.

Export as high-resolution PNG
Click "File" then "Export". Select PNG and choose 2x scale for a high-resolution print-ready file. Download and send to a printer or share digitally.
Flyer design tips
Use a visual hierarchy: one huge element draws the eye first (typically the title or a striking image), then supporting details guide the reader through the rest. Avoid using more than two different fonts. Leave breathing room (white space) around text blocks so they do not feel cramped.
If you plan to print the flyer, add a 3mm bleed area around the canvas edges. Extend your background colour and images to the very edge of the canvas so there is no white border if the printer cuts slightly inward.
