Find a template

The Designer holds more than 250 professionally designed templates for 11 industries, from menu boards and promotions to welcome screens and wayfinding. Every template comes in a landscape and a portrait version. You pick one while you create a new design, or later in the Designer, and replace the sample text and photos with your own.

Search and filter

You use the same library in two places: when you create a new design (Files > New > New design) and in the Templates panel in the Designer's left toolbar.

• Search. Type a word in the search box, in your own language, for example "menu", "sale" or "welcome". Names and keywords are searched in your language.
• Industry. The buttons above the grid filter by industry: All, Hospitality, Retail, Beauty and wellness, Healthcare, Office, Hotels and stays, Education, Facility management, Events, Fitness and sports and Real estate. A template can appear under more than one industry.
• More filters. Click Filters to narrow the list further by Use (what the screen is for, such as a menu board, happy hour or class schedule), Goal (for example inform, invite or promote), Style, Color, Light or dark and Photo (with a photo or without).
• Sort. Under Sort you choose Most relevant, Newest, Style or Name.
• Start again. Above the grid you see how many templates match. Click Clear all to remove your search and filters.

You see the version that matches the orientation of your design: landscape or portrait.

Picking a template for a new design

1. Go to Files and click New > New design.
2. Enter a name under Design name.
3. Under Orientation, choose Landscape or Portrait.
4. Under Resolution, choose Full HD or 4K.
5. Search or filter until you find a template you like. Blank design starts you off without one.
6. Click the template, then click Create design.

New design only appears in the New menu on desktop, not on mobile.

Applying a template to an existing design

Open the design and go to the Templates panel in the Designer's left toolbar. Click a template to apply it. If the canvas already has content on it, Screenbird first asks: Overwrite design? Click Overwrite to continue. The template is scaled to your canvas, and the landscape or portrait version follows the orientation of your design.

Making a template your own

A template opens with sample text and sample photos. They show what the design looks like, so replace them with your own.

1. Replace the sample text with your own wording. Names, prices and addresses in the sample text are made up.
2. Replace the sample images with your own visuals.
3. Adjust the colors. Once you have brand settings, your brand colors sit in every color picker as fixed swatches.
4. Adjust the font. Your brand fonts sit at the top of the list, with your own uploaded fonts below them.

You set your brand colors, brand fonts and logo on the Brand settings tab in Settings. See also Custom fonts and Designer.
