Hit the “Make Your Own” button at the bottom of this page to start.
This is a tool that generates many squares as you move your mouse across the canvas. There are a couple of easy steps to follow here.. When you go to the tool, depending on the resolution of your screen, you may see some massive “Refresh” and “Back” buttons. Don’t panic! Reduce the size of your browser down to 25%/30% and refresh the screen and you should be good to go.
Depending on your browser there are a number of ways to reduce your screen size – Holding down the “Ctrl” button while pressing the “minus” button will usually do it. When you’re ready, simply move your mouse around the canvas (situated in the center of the screen). Smaller squares to the left and larger squares to the right.
The speed of mouse movement will also affect the amount of square layering. Have a play around and see what you can come up with!
When you’re happy with the image, hit the “s” key on your keyboard to save it to your computer. Once you’ve done that, hit the refresh button to generate a new blank canvas and go again.
The image will be generated complete with a semi-random file name. There’s a small chance that a file name will be repeated. Just change it manually or use your own file naming conventions. It’s up to you.
Disclaimer: There are millions of possible permutations of images based on many random variables coded into the software. It’s unlikely that there will ever be two images exactly alike, but there will possibly be some that look fairly similar.
Details:
Image size: 2400px width x 3000px height
Resolution: 72dpi
Design: Randomly generated squares on a transparent background.
Notes:
Because there’s a transparent background, you can post-edit these images to apply any sort of background color and add effects such as drop shadow with your favorite image editing software.
For Amazon KDP you will need to post process the images to increase the resolution to 300dpi. You can do that in photoshop or other image editing software. Personally, I use “FastStone Photo Resizer”, just google it. It’s completely free and free of malware, adware etc and you can batch edit hundreds of images in one go! (Changing the dpi won’t affect the quality of the images).
