Flag Generator Tool Guide

Pattern Types Explained

Horizontal and vertical stripes split the canvas into 1–10 equal bands, each with its own color picker. The Nordic cross pattern draws a background rectangle plus an offset vertical-and-horizontal bar — the same general layout used by flags like Norway's or Sweden's, though the proportions here are fixed at 15% width for the vertical bar and 20% height for the horizontal one, not scaled to match any specific real national flag. Diagonal splits the canvas corner-to-corner into two triangles, and quadrants divides it into four equal rectangles, each colored independently.

A three-stripe horizontal flag in red, white, and blue with a white star added in the center is what you'd get by leaving the default stripe colors and adding the "Star" symbol — the canvas redraws immediately after every color or option change, so the result is visible before you download anything.

Symbols and Colors

The optional symbol (star, circle, triangle, or diamond) sits centered on top of whatever pattern is beneath it. Its color and size are independent controls, so a black diamond over a striped background is one click away.

Exporting Your Design

PNG export captures exactly what's on the canvas as a raster image. SVG export is more limited — it currently reconstructs horizontal stripes, vertical stripes, and Nordic-cross layouts as vector shapes, plus a circle symbol if one is selected, but it does not vectorize diagonal or quadrant patterns, or the star/triangle/diamond symbols.

Use Cases

Mocking up a flag concept for a class project, a fictional nation in a story, a sports-team banner, or a quick visual for a presentation slide.
