BannerFans is a cool Web2.0 banner creation tool that comes with lots of features. You can select predefined standard banner sizes or enter your own dimensions. It has a cool font selection window too. Other things that you can change are: shadows, effects and banner border styles.
It also allows you to upload your own backgrounds for your banners. And when you are done with your banner, you can either download it or just get the code. If you get the code, your banner will be uploaded to ImageShack.us (it creates myspace compatible codes too)
Basically, this is the tool that you need when you have internet but not Photoshop.



Nice tools, but for better banner I would like to go to DP Forum
very nice…the only limit is that you are not able to add your own picture..
DP forum is charging…this is free….therefore it is not comparable
ades, sadly to say adesblog pagerank dropped to 3. same goes with johnchow : pr3
For people like me who do not make money blogging, this is a great tool. Thank you for this information
xBrain, yes I have noticed that (since few days back). For the next few weeks I have to monitor if my traffic from Google decreases, and if it affects my SERPs. Let’s see where this thing goes…
This is a nice tool for people with out that artistic touch like myself. Nice tool.
Thanks for the tip. I have been trying to find a free banner service that would give me the code and let me link to wherever I wanted.
There’s a trick, you know.
Very cool. I’m pretty much useless when it comes to design. I’d like to become at least minimally competent in the near future, but this will definitely be useful in the meantime.
Yeah, it’s a nice tool but indeed for unique designs I prefer to have my own designer.
It would be better if it had included more options such as adding pictures.
