Is this Maha Kumbh banner tool free to use?
Yes, it’s free to use. You can upload or capture a photo, choose a template, add your name and message, and generate as many banners
as you want. There is no login requirement. Because the banner is created inside your browser, the experience is fast and simple even
on mobile devices. If you want the best output quality, download PNG. If you want a smaller file for quick sharing, choose WEBP.
How does the camera capture work on mobile?
On supported mobile browsers, the “Capture photo” button opens your phone camera using the file input capture feature. After you take
a photo, the tool automatically loads it into the banner editor so you can resize and position it inside the circle. If your phone
doesn’t open the camera, you can still upload from the gallery or file manager. The final banner can be downloaded or shared directly.
Does the tool upload my photo to the server?
By default, no. This banner maker generates the image client-side using canvas in your browser. That means your photo is processed on
your device and not automatically published. After creating the banner, you can download it to your phone or share it using the share
button. This approach keeps the tool fast and privacy-friendly while still producing high-quality banners suitable for social platforms.
What is the difference between PNG and WEBP download?
PNG is a high-quality format and is great when you want maximum clarity, especially for text. WEBP is a modern format that produces
smaller files while keeping good quality, which is helpful for quick sharing on mobile networks. This tool can auto-compress WEBP to
try staying under around 1MB, making sharing easier. If a platform doesn’t support WEBP, you can always use PNG instead.
Why do you show only 12 template cards at a time?
Showing 12 templates keeps the page light and fast, especially on mobile. When many images load at once (like 50+), the page can feel
slow and heavy. With 12 at a time, users can browse comfortably, then tap “Load more” to view another randomized set. This keeps the
experience smooth while still letting you offer a large library of backgrounds.
Can I add my own 50+ background images?
Yes. Upload your images (640×640 works well) to your WordPress Media Library and copy their direct URLs. Then add those URLs into the
$templates array in the shortcode script. You can add as many as you want. The tool will automatically randomize and display them in
sets of 12 using Load More, keeping the page fast and the choices fresh.
How do I remove the green border around the photo?
This version does not draw any green border. The photo circle uses a clean white edge with subtle shadow so it looks premium on all
backgrounds. If you still see unwanted colors, it usually comes from the background template image itself or theme CSS overlays. In
that case, try a different template or confirm there isn’t custom CSS affecting canvas previews.
Will the tool work if there are 100+ users creating banners?
Yes. The banner generation happens on the user’s device (client-side), so server load stays low. The main bandwidth usage is the
template images. That’s why the tool loads templates in small batches (12 per view) and uses lazy loading for thumbnails. For best
performance, serve template images via caching/CDN. This design is scalable for high traffic because each user renders their own banner.
Can users share the generated banner with image included?
On many modern mobile browsers, the Share API allows sharing an image file along with text. This tool tries to share the banner image
plus a custom message and your page link. If the browser does not support image sharing, users can still download and share manually.
The share text is always available to copy, so it works reliably across WhatsApp, Instagram captions, Facebook posts, and more.
What size is the generated banner and can it be changed?
By default, the banner output is 1600×900, which looks good for sharing and status posts. You can change the output size via shortcode
attributes output_w and output_h if needed. The tool scales the background to “cover” the canvas and crops the photo into a circle.
If you want a square output for Instagram posts, set output_w=1080 and output_h=1080 and adjust the circle position defaults.
