What makes a newspaper front page?
A newspaper front page is built around a masthead with the paper’s name, a large headline that sums up the top story, and a lead photo. Headlines use short, punchy words so the story reads at a glance, which is why a front page with your own headline works so well as a birthday, graduation or retirement joke. The Newspaper Generator letters your exact headline and fills the rest of the page with unreadable columns.

Classic or Tabloid: which front page should I choose?
Classic is an aged off-white newspaper with The Daily Chronicle in old-style blackletter, a huge bold headline and a black-and-white halftone photo, like a vintage broadsheet. Tabloid is a glossy color front page with The Daily Buzz in a red masthead box, a heavy all-caps headline and a large color photo with a delighted expression. On both, only the masthead and your headline are readable.

Frequently asked questions
Your first image on LeafReel is free, so your first front page costs nothing and carries a LeafReel watermark. Buy any credit pack and that same image unlocks as the original file without the watermark. Each front page after that costs 20 credits.
Upload one photo, type your headline, pick Classic or Tabloid and select Create image. The AI lays out the masthead, your headline and your photo on one page.
No. Classic is always The Daily Chronicle and Tabloid is always The Daily Buzz, both fictional names, so the page never looks like a real newspaper.
No. Only the headline is yours; the columns around it are blurred placeholder text that cannot be read.
“Local woman finally finishes her to-do list”, “Man turns 40, still says he’s 29”, “Graduate survives four years on instant noodles” and “Dad’s joke voted best of the year” are popular starting points.
Usually, yes. The AI copies the headline you type, and short headlines come out most reliably. If a letter is wrong, try again or shorten it.
Keep it a joke between people who are in on it. Front pages that spread false news, impersonate real newspapers or mock real people are not allowed, and photos of celebrities cannot be used.
Each newspaper front page costs 20 credits after your free image. The $9.90 One Video pack has 600 credits, enough for 30 images; on Pro each works out to about $0.17.
A failed newspaper job returns its 20 credits automatically, or, if it was your free image, you can try again for free.
