Frequently Asked Questions
What is a star steps graphic for?
A short process shown as a run of numbered steps with a headline and a one-line explanation each — onboarding flows, how-it-works sections, and method summaries where a full flowchart would be overkill.
How many steps work best?
Four to six. Fewer looks thin, more stops being scannable — and a reader who has to count the steps has already stopped reading them.
Can I edit the step text on the graphic?
Yes. Click a step title or its description and type. Each step carries a short label and a supporting line, so the headline stays skimmable and the detail sits underneath.
What themes are available?
Spectrum, Sunset, Ocean, Berry, and Midnight. Spectrum gives each step its own colour to reinforce the sequence; the others keep one palette so the steps read as a single flow.
What sizes does it export?
Square 1080×1080 for feeds, portrait 1080×1350 for Pinterest and carousels, and wide 1280×960 for slides and blog images. PNG is free and unwatermarked.
How is this different from a process diagram?
Star steps is a presentation graphic — linear, decorative, made for a landing page or a post. A process diagram handles branching, decisions, and roles. Use this when the process is a straight line you want to look good.
Can I animate the steps appearing?
Yes — preview the sequence for free. MP4 export is Pro.
