Banner Maker Pro vs BannerBoo

Banner Maker Pro is a free Windows application for creating web banner ads, Facebook banners, buttons, headers, animated GIFs, logos, and other web graphics. Users can choose custom image sizes, add or crop images and logos, resize them, and blend them with transparency. Finished graphics can be saved as GIF, JPEG, or PNG files. The maker lists more than 120 one-step animations and over 800 backgrounds and standalone images. Text tools provide borders, three shadow styles, angled or circular text, installed computer fonts, and Unicode support. Export options include HTML for placing a banner on a website, a rotator containing up to 10 images, and mouse-over effects. Output has no watermark. The listed plan costs nothing and allows unlimited banner making. The app requires Windows 10 or above and 12 MB of disk space. Facebook does not accept GIFs, so animated banners must be exported as PNG or JPEG there. Help includes in-app instructions, an F1 file, FAQs, tutorials, and contact support.

BannerBoo is a web-based tool for building advertising banners without coding. Its drag-and-drop editor lets users add images, text, and animation, and a smart animator can automate animation. The editor supports HTML5, AMPHTML, GIF, MP4, JPEG, and PNG, with resizing to adapt banners to other dimensions and formats. Banners can be used with Google Ads and major ad networks, or published to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Users can store work in the cloud, embed it on HTML or WordPress websites, or download an archive. The service lists an AI banner generator and plan-specific AI credits; Pro and Plus also include AI background removal. The free plan allows four banners, 15,000 embedded ad views, and 100 Mb of storage. Paid plans start at $12/mo when billed annually, and a 7-day trial is listed. BannerBoo is presented for freelancers, marketing teams, agencies, advertisers, and small businesses.
