Quick answer: Design Wizard is still available in October 2026 as an online tool for making social media images, print designs and short videos from ready-made templates. It is run by Wave Break Media Limited, a company registered in County Cork, Ireland. There is a free Basic plan with limited features and storage, and a Pro plan at US$9.99 a month or US$89 a year, which adds uploads, video downloads, premium content and 1 GB of storage. It suits small businesses and bloggers who want quick, template-based graphics and video rather than a full design suite.
This review is based on Design Wizard’s website, pricing page and terms and conditions. We have not tested the service ourselves. An earlier version of this article said “after several tests, the results… were nothing but promising” and called Design Wizard “a regular part of the routine of graphic designing professionals”. We have removed those claims because they were not based on named, dated sources.
Who runs Design Wizard?
Design Wizard’s terms and conditions say the service is provided by Wave Break Media Limited, a private limited company registered in Ireland, with its office in Ballincollig, County Cork. The original article described Design Wizard as an Irish company founded in 2015; the Irish base is confirmed, and its site was still active and updated in 2026.
Plans and pricing (as of October 2026)
As of October 2026, per Design Wizard’s pricing page (US dollars):
| Plan | Price | Main features |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Free | Free templates, videos and images; resize designs; add text, images and shapes; custom colour palette; 15 MB of storage |
| Pro | $9.99 a month, or $89 a year ($7.42 a month) | Premium templates, videos and images; image, font and video uploads; 1 GB of storage; JPG, PNG, PDF and MP4 downloads; text, shapes, logos and animated text on videos; direct sharing to social media; priority support |
Design Wizard says Pro gives access to about 2 million visual assets and unlimited downloads, subject to a fair-usage policy, and that you can start a Pro trial and cancel at any time. Check the trial terms when you sign up. The original article praised the free membership as good value; the free plan still exists, but uploads, videos and premium content need Pro.
How Design Wizard works
Design Wizard describes a three-step process:
- Pick a template. Search or browse thousands of pre-made templates for social media posts, posters, web banners, business cards, invitations and more. The original article described being asked for the size and orientation first, then narrowing choices with a search bar.
- Customise it. Every element is editable. Change images, backgrounds and colours, upload your own logo, photos and fonts (on Pro), set a custom colour palette, and resize the design for other formats with one click.
- Download or share. Download images in print quality (300 dpi) or web quality, or videos in standard or high definition, and share directly to social networks.
The original article also noted the folder-based storage for keeping assets organised, layer-style editing familiar to Photoshop users, filters, transparency for watermark-style effects, and adjustments to saturation, brightness and sharpness. These describe the editor as it was in 2020; check the current editor for the exact controls.
Content library and licensing
Design Wizard says its library includes more than a million premium images, thousands of high-quality videos, illustrations and graphics, and that every image and video has been licensed for commercial use. The original article gave older figures (1.2 million images, 15,000 templates and 120 fonts); use the current numbers on Design Wizard’s site. Read its user licence before using templates in products for sale, such as printed merchandise, because stock licences usually have limits.
The original article opened with a claim that posts with images get “650% more engagement”. It did not name a source, so we have removed it.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |

| Commercially licensed image and video library | Narrower range than Canva, which also does documents, presentations and websites |
| Pro is relatively cheap on the annual plan | Unlimited downloads are subject to fair usage |
