This website uses cookies. Serif PagePlus Starter Edition is a simple and free desktop publishing. You can choose from a range of preset templates that you can fully customise with graphics, sizes, colours and more. Drag and drop tools and versatile templates ensure that anyone can enjoy PagePlus with no technical design experience.

You need more control? Then create a blank document in a common size (A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid and so on) or type (booklets, greetings cards, CD or DVD covers, more). Import whatever graphic you need: PagePlus Starter Edition supports 27 formats, including Photoshop PSD. Then use the WYSIWYG layout features, powerful drawing tools, built-in word processing and precise alignment options to build professional projects in minutes.

Well, probably. There are some limitations, though, unsurprising as the Starter Edition is entirely free. The most significant is that you can only create documents with a maximum of 5 pages. Others include a limited number of templates (the full version has many more), RGB-only colour management (CMYK, HSL, Pantone and Spot Colours are available in the full version), and several missing features. There's no support for PDF import or export, no photo editing tools or mail merge option, for instance.

The program is still perfectly capable of creating high quality documents, though, and if you need a free and very easy-to-use desktop publishing tool then it must come high on the list. If you need the extras, though, take a look at the full version: you'll find all the details on Serif's site.
