Hi there! How are you today?
Today I will share with you how can you build a fucking great Separator. Ok... In my case, just a great separator eheh
I believe that you already saw the "famous" separator all over the places and ask: How can I do this... Today 2 people ask this in a group where I am. I'm a good guy and I will give you a tips eheh
You can follow the Tutorial or jump to the end of the post and watch the video I made.
What do you DON'T need
You don't need to be a Designer or something like that to create a great separator and I will show you! :)
Do you have PhotoShop or Illustrator? No? Ok. It's fine! You don't need any paid software to do something like this xb
What DO you need
- Internet access
- Read all the post
- Give me an upvote
- Share with us in the comment section your new separator and spread envy
Tutorial Time
SetUp
We need a software to do this work and I know the perfect tool to get the job done! I present to you https://designer.gravit.io
Go there and give the sizes: 800px 53px. You will get something like this:
Get A Photo
Now we already did the setup lets find a nice image to add. To do this you can use any kind of photo. I like vectors so let's get one. Go https://www.flaticon.com/ and choose one.
Now, that you found a great Icon you can select how do you preferer download. For this example, I will select PNG and the bigger size (512px). Save the image to a place you know.
Make the thing
Ok, so... We have the program and an image let's create our separator. Back to the gravit, go to "file=>Import=>Place Image..." and select your image.
Great! Almost done! Now just create a line (press "R" on you keyboard).
Ok. We have a line and an image. If your line is over the image don't worry just press the line and go here:
Now chose your favorite color for the line.
To center just select all the things and press these 2 buttons:
Ok. Last step! Go to "file=>Export=>Export..."
Select Background Transparent
And finally, export!
So congrats!! Now you have a separator! Simple, right? Like I said I did a video where I explain all this. Check it out.

Yeap it is good.
Just say me 1 or 2 colors and send me a photo you like 😃
I will do the rest!
Haha love the gif ^^
Ok, I love blood red and dark orange.
Is this pic ok? I'm not in a hurry for it. Take your time ddua. I'm going to bed now.
Is there a way I can keep just the green oval with the face?
sorry for answering now...
I'm very sick... In the last 2 days I have been with 38.8 / 39.2 fever.
I will say something soon! :)
About the image, yes, now problema :)
Aw sorry you're sick. I hope you're better soon.
Don't worry about the divider. I'm in no hurry. Do it in your own time.
My son's had a temperature since yesterday. He's hot, snotty and dizzy. Off school today. Not gonna get much writing done.

Great post! I'm sure this will be helpful for future generations who want to make their separators!
I myself have a few horizontal rulers I got from somewhere I can't remember. I filled them with color and cut them to look great! I'll leave them here:
I have 8 more hahaha, and I plan on getting a few more for different occasions. I already have some templates I can use.
My steps were a little different than yours. I grabbed a bulk image that had around 12 of these in grey, I coloured them with two shades of red, yellow and cyan, saved it all as a .TIFF file, each separator in a different layer, then used
ImageMagick'sconvert image.tiff -trim image.pngand it saved each file separately.edit:
I say they look great both on grey:
And on white:
Wow!! I think you should make a tut on how to make them cool separators...
As long as you learn how to use any image editor like Photoshop, Krita, Gimp or even Pixlr, it'll be super easy. :) Just make a wide transparent area, put the shape you want, colour it and make sure to save it as a PNG without losing the transparent area.
I don't think I could make a valuable tutorial on this since it's so easy. :P I think everything that I could say was already said by @ddua.
He is right! Make a Tut about your separators! :)
I super love these sharon, they're so super girly! O.o my eyes are watering now. They're my favorite so far. ^^
:))) I'm glad they're liked <3
She is an artist eheh
Did you read her poems? It's awesome! :)
If you like to read check this post. It is not a poem but is very good! :)

So cool Sharon!!! Great work!
I see... I had a lot of work eheh But it was worth it
Did you use Photoshop for that?
I use Krita! It's the next best thing for Linux.
And yes, totally worth it :) I'm sure you've inspired many people to make their posts more aesthetic.
Hum... So this means y use Linux. Ok eheh
I don't know about Krita. I need to do a quick search :)
I hope you right! We have here some great Separators :)
Wow, thanks @ddua for this amazing tutorial!! Got my own separator now <3
I'm so happy!!!
Nice one! If you need help on future occasions just say! :)
Thanks for this tutorial @ddua :) Your is quite good as well. I had to ask for help on my separator from my brother. I'm not too good with instructions. Lol^^
Great brother you have eheh

STOPGood post. I've been looking for a way to really spice up my blog and make it more uniform and original and POP. I've been making my own pics and I've gotten pretty good at markdown. This will be next level. And even though I have Photoshop I'd like to start using more free and open source stuff. Thanks.
good work. i like it.
