Personalize your bookmark with your own images or choose from our massive stock library
Want a cute kitten to greet you every time you pick up where you left off? Or how about a famous landmark that goes with your book’s setting? Search for these and more using Canva’s impressive media library which hosts over a million photos, illustrations, and vectors you can use on your bookmark designs.
Each photo is carefully reviewed and curated so you only get the best choices. There are also plenty of free images to choose from. To browse for free images, head over to the Element tab and select the Free Photos folder. Meanwhile, with very competitive prices, using premium images won’t break the bank either.
Choose from over a hundred layouts and designs or create your own
One of the best parts of designing in Canva is that you don’t have to design from a blank page (one of the most challenging parts of designing). Instead, you can browse through Canva’s wide selection of beautiful, ready-made bookmark templates and choose one that inspires you the most.
From there, you can customize as much or as little as you want. Recolor text and elements, move them around, resize them, change images and quotes. You’re only a few clicks, drags, and drops away from the perfect reading companion. And if you want to create another bookmark with the same layout, simply duplicate your saved design!
Print your bookmark in stunning high resolution
Once you’re happy with your design, it’s time to bring it to life! Save and download your new bookmark as a high-quality PDF for printing. You can also show off your design on your favorite social media channel by clicking on the ‘Share’ button to post your design directly on Facebook or X (Twitter).
Want to make changes or edit on the fly? Access all of your designs on your mobile device by downloading our free Canva iOS and Android apps from the App Store or Google Play.
Use your bookmark as a creative marketing tool
If you’re an author or budding writer, bookmarks are the perfect way to promote your name and your literary works. Make the colors of your bookmark similar to your book covers to create a consistent aesthetic. Add your personal logo to your bookmark design or feature a character or quote from your books. With Canva, it’s easy to come out with book swag that your readers will surely treasure.
FAQ
Printing your own bookmarks is easy. Simply find a bookmark template, create your bookmarks using the design software of your choice, lay them out on the page so that it’s easy to cut them out on paper and hit print.
Most bookmarks are around 2 x 8 inches. A slightly smaller size, 2 x 6, might be used for children’s books or small paperbacks. A longer size, 2 x 7, is for holding more information and photos for a bigger visual impact.
Bookmarks often contain eye-catching images on the front or back, literary quotes from famous books or authors and illustrations and drawings. You can decide what style of bookmark suits your personality or, if it’s a gift, the personality of the person you’re giving it to.
