How can I make a flyer with AI?

Ask ChatGPT to write the flyer wording – a short headline, three bullet points and a call to action – then paste it into a free Canva flyer template, add your photo and download it as a PDF. It takes under an hour, and you should check every date, price and contact detail before printing.

Copy-and-paste prompt

Swap the bits in [square brackets] for your own details.

Write the text for a flyer for [event or business]. Details: [date, time, place, price, contact]. Audience: [who]. Tone: [friendly/professional/fun]. Give me: a headline under 8 words, a one-line subheading, 3 short bullet points, a call to action, and 3 alternative headlines.

How to do it

  1. Ask ChatGPT for the wording using the prompt below.
  2. Open Canva, search 'flyer' and pick a free template.
  3. Paste in the wording, swap the photo and colours, then download as PDF to print.

Frequently asked questions

Is Canva free?

Canva has a free plan with templates and limited AI uses; Pro costs extra. See our Canva profile for prices we last checked.

Can AI design the whole flyer?

ChatGPT and Gemini can create a flyer image, but text in AI images can still come out garbled, so a template is more reliable.
