Event Ticket Stub PNG Maker | Souvenir-Style Tickets With a Tear-Off Stub
Make a souvenir-style event ticket image with a tear-off stub, a dashed perforation line, and a faux QR block — all by filling in a few fields. The output is a fixed 1800×600 horizontal PNG, ready to drop into a flyer, an Instagram post, or a print-shop upload.
💡 Why this exists
If you've ever tried to mock up an event ticket in a word processor or a generic poster maker, you know the awkward part: the proportions of the main panel vs. the stub never quite look right, the perforation line ends up as a thin straight rule that screams "table border," and there's no clean way to add the two little half-circles at the top and bottom of the tear line.
This generator skips all of that. The main panel, the dashed perforation column, the stub panel, the accent band, and the 7×7 decorative QR grid are all built into the layout. You fill in the wording, choose a palette, and the canvas redraws the whole thing in place.
Three themes are bundled: Classic for a neutral, "any event" look; Sunset for a warm tone that suits meetups, fan events, and casual gatherings; and Neon for high-contrast music or club nights.
🧐 Frequently asked questions
Q. What size does it export? A. A fixed 1800×600 PNG. The aspect is wide enough to feel like a real torn ticket on screen and large enough to print without obvious upscaling.
Q. Can the stub actually be torn off? A. The PNG itself is one flat image, so the perforation is visual only. If you want the printed ticket to tear, send the artwork to a print shop with a perforation option, or print onto pre-perforated ticket stock.
Q. What are the character limits? A. Event name and venue accept up to 40 characters each, date and time up to 20 each, and seat and ticket number up to 14 each. The caps keep the typography from overflowing the panels.
Q. Is the QR block a real scannable code? A. No. The 7×7 grid is decorative — it gives the ticket the silhouette of a QR without encoding anything. If you need a real scannable code (entry pass, URL, claim code), generate it separately and overlay it before printing.
Q. Can I use emoji or symbols in the fields? A. Yes, anything your browser can render in its default font will show up. Just stay within the character limits above so nothing gets clipped.
📚 Why a stub is more than decoration
The classic two-panel ticket layout — a main body plus a smaller torn-off stub — is one of those event-design shapes that does several jobs at once. The stub gives the gatekeeper a physical artifact to keep, gives the attendee a souvenir of the same event, and the perforation line gives both sides a deliberate place to separate without scissors or tearing through the artwork.
The faux 7×7 QR block on the stub plays a similar role. It isn't a working code, but the silhouette signals "this is a ticket, not a postcard" at a glance, which is often all you need for an invite-only gathering, a community meetup, or a numbered seat at a hobby event where the actual entry check is happening at the door.
