Banner Maker Pro 8, an easy-to-use Windows (2000, XP, Vista) application that makes it simple to produce professional banners, buttons, logos, animated GIF ads, and web graphics. Unlike complicated graphics software that requires an artist's eye and a programmer's patience, Banner Maker Pro lets you become productive immediately, producing stunning graphics that can make any web site more impressive and effective. Banner Maker Pro's wizard-like interface makes it simple to create web graphics. Just follow the step-by-step image-making process. The program lets you make changes to your creations, save them, and upload them to your web site using the built-in FTP function or upload them directly to imageshack.us.

Start with your business logo, family picture, or choose from more than 600 backgrounds and images. Banner Maker Pro works with any Windows font, and creates crisp, clean, anti-aliased text. It's easy to combine your images and words into a banner of any size. The built-in image crunchers can transform bloated graphics into fast-loading images. The Power Preview feature lets you look at hundreds of combinations of backgrounds and fonts for your creations.

There's no need to purchase an additional program to create animated GIF images. Banner Maker Pro gives you one-click access to more than 60 different types of animation. Creating animated buttons and banners takes only a few minutes, and the professional results will impress your web site visitors.
