About This Tool

How do I make a newspaper cutout from a photo?

Upload an image, type a headline, and this generator typesets a full newspaper article around it: masthead, columns, and a halftone-printed photo, then tears the article out of the page with realistic ripped edges, tape, and marker circles.

Creators use these cutouts in reels, documentary-style edits, thumbnails, and collages. Everything runs in your browser: your image is never uploaded anywhere.

How It Works

Three steps, no signup

  1. 01

    Drop in your image

    Any screenshot or photo. It gets the classic halftone newsprint treatment automatically.

  2. 02

    Write the headline, pick a look

    Four newspaper looks from vintage broadsheet to tabloid. Tape, red circle, and torn edges included.

  3. 03

    Export a PNG

    Download a high-resolution cutout, with a transparent background option for dropping into edits.

FAQ

Quick answers

Yes, completely free with no signup, and no watermark on exports.

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser; your image never leaves your device.

Yes. Choose the transparent canvas option and the PNG contains only the torn cutout, ready to layer over video or designs.

You control the headline, sub-headline, and publication name. The body columns are decorative placeholder print, which keeps every cutout looking authentically typeset.
