How to create a letterhead step by step
- 1Write your prompt
Describe what you need — for example, "An elegant letterhead design." Include your brand name, preferred imagery, and any text that should appear. You can also upload a reference image (like an existing logo) so the AI generates a matching letterhead.
- 2Choose style and colors
Select a visual style from 10+ options (minimalist, bold, vintage, luxury, etc.) and pick your brand colors. The AI uses these to ensure your letterhead matches your existing brand identity.
- 3Generate designs
Click Generate and wait 5–15 seconds. LogoQuill creates multiple letterhead options — each from a different AI model for variety. Premium models (Nano Banana 2, Recraft V4 Vector) cost 2 credits; standard models (Ideogram, Seedream) cost 1 credit.
- 4Customize in the editor
Pick your favorite and open it in the built-in editor. Change colors, add or modify text, adjust the layout, remove the background, or use AI-powered editing tools (style changes, simplification, upscaling).
- 5Export in the right format
Download as transparent PNG for web use, SVG vector for print and scaling, or 4x high-res PNG for merchandise. Use the size reference table above to ensure correct dimensions.

File format guide
Different use cases require different file formats. Here's which format to choose:
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| PNG | Web use, social media, email — supports transparency, universally compatible |
| SVG | Print, signage, merchandise — infinite scaling, editable in design tools |
| 4x Upscale PNG | Large format printing, merchandise — high resolution without artifacts |
| ICO | Favicons specifically — not needed for other asset types |
Why use AI for letterhead design?
Traditional letterhead design requires either hiring a professional designer ($200–$2,000+) or spending hours learning complex tools like Figma, Illustrator, or Photoshop. AI changes this equation entirely.
LogoQuill generates professional-quality letterheads in seconds, at a fraction of the cost. You can iterate rapidly — try dozens of different concepts, styles, and color combinations without waiting days for designer revisions.
The built-in editor provides the customization layer that pure AI generation lacks. You get the speed and creativity of AI plus the control of a design tool — without the steep learning curve. And with 6 AI models including native SVG vector output, you get format flexibility that most template tools can't match.

Letterhead maker FAQ
Should my letterhead use A4 or US Letter?
Match your customers' geography. US uses 8.5×11 inches; almost everywhere else uses A4 (210×297mm). Sending an A4 letter to a US client means it doesn't fit standard US folders cleanly, and vice versa.
How much margin does a letterhead need?
1 inch (25mm) minimum on all sides. Word processors and law firms expect to type within those margins. A letterhead with a 2-inch header taking up half the page leaves no room for the actual letter content.
Do I need watermarks on legal letterheads?
Watermarks signal authenticity in some legal contexts. They're not standard for general business letterheads. If your firm uses them, place at low opacity (5-10%) so they don't interfere with content readability.
Is the letterhead maker free?
You can explore styles and preview the interface for free. Generating designs requires credits — standard AI models cost 1 credit (~$0.03 per image), premium models cost 2 credits (~$0.08). No subscription. Purchase credits once and use them whenever you need.
What formats can I download my letterhead in?
PNG with transparent background (ideal for web and digital), SVG vector via the Recraft V4 model (ideal for print and infinite scaling), or high-resolution 4x upscaled PNG (ideal for merchandise and large-format printing). You can also export at custom dimensions from the editor.
Can I edit the letterhead after generating?
Yes. Open any generated design in the built-in editor where you can change colors, add or modify text, remove the background, convert to SVG vector, apply AI-powered edits (like changing the style or simplifying shapes), and export in any format and size you need.
