CUSTOMER STORY
What customers say about publishing magazine covers in Flipsnack
"We've had a few moments after publishing when someone spots a small error, maybe a number off or a typo in an article. With Flipsnack, it's no stress. We just jump in, make the edit, and it's fixed in seconds. Before, with a static PDF, once it was sent, it was final."

How it works
How to make a magazine cover
Four steps from blank page to published cover.
1
Choose your magazine cover size
Open Design Studio and set your page size first. Your cover becomes page one of the magazine. Pick A4 (794 x 1123 px) or Letter (816 x 1056 px), or set a custom size in pixels. Uploading a PDF keeps its size.
2
Design your magazine cover
Choose a magazine cover template and make it yours in Design Studio. Swap the cover image, write your masthead and cover lines, then move any element until the layout works. Add or remove pages as you go.
3
Apply your branding
Use your logo, brand colors and fonts straight from your Brand Kit, so every issue matches the last one. Set them once and reuse them across covers. Preview each change live before you publish.
4
Publish and share your magazine
Publish your cover and the issue behind it, then share the link, embed it on your site, or print it. Your magazine stays live at the same link, so any edit you make reaches everyone who already has it.
TEMPLATES
Magazine cover templates you can brand and publish
Choose from hundreds of magazine cover templates built by our design team. Find fashion, travel, fitness, business, school and lifestyle covers, then swap the images, fonts and colors for your own. Every template is free to edit and ready to publish at your own link.
