Question

What software should I use to design a brochure?

Answer

Adobe InDesign is the professional standard for brochure layout, though it is far from your only option. Whatever tool you use, the print settings matter more than the software itself.

  • Adobe InDesign: the industry standard for multi-panel layout
  • Illustrator and Photoshop: both capable for brochure design
  • Canva: free templates that export as print-ready PDFs
  • Required settings: CMYK color, 300 DPI and 0.125 inch bleed on all sides
