Hi! Can I use this software on chromebooks? Im teaching middle school kids about zines and Id really like for them to use your zine maker! (there school only provides chromebooks)
I finally got around to trying this one out. Great stuff! I'm not the type to fxxk around but it's a lot more fun than I expected! I even made a zine/comic so you can add it to the collection =)
Also I can confirm this works on linux using wine even though you have to wait a second for it to save the pages (and if you put the tool in the background for too long it sometimes freezes). Works better using the "virtual desktop" but you can't alttab if you click away from the editor (whoops)
Made my first zine today with this program! It's not much lol I made it in a few hours. But it's funny to me and I am my own target audience. https://no1ofnote.itch.io/lunch-a-short-zine
My friend and I have been using the program for fun, and it's really great and convenient, but a main problem we've stumbled across is that when you leave the program it doesn't ask whether you want to save your progress or not, which caused my friend to lose all their progress on the complex piece they were making. Another comment is that it should be easier to collaborate and send your work to another computer via the program itself. Great work!
This is such a cool tool! I was going to make something b/w and pre-planned but was so immediately taken by all the tools so I made something far more spur of the moment for my first zine instead ^_^ I don't doubt I'll be back to make more soon! https://lucabyte.itch.io/ive-never-made-a-zine-before
I love ezm so much! ive finished 3 zines w it that r all on itch.io and its been so fun to dive into zine making. To add to your wonderful collection of EZM zines https://tape-6.itch.io/
hi i just saw that you put one of my zines in your collection so I wanted to say thank you for that and also just thank you for making this super cool and fun tool!!!! it's incredibly inspiring and so so fun to use even (or maybe especially) as someone who isn't really a Visual Arts person. thank you for unlocking this funky little place in my brain. maybe i'll go upload my other projects to itch.
hey!! really love this, have been using it to construct my very first zine - i wish it was possible to adjust transparency of things, and to rearrange page order (if it is, i haven't yet been able to) but everything else is great! the various tools are super fun to play with. thank you!
Great idea, very convenient, good for beginners. My one concern is that it lowers the resolution of images. Is there any way to adjust that? Again, thanks for your hard work~
Hi--thank you for this amazing art tool! I had a question about the zine formats available because I feel like I'm missing something. Is it possible to construct the typical booklet zines in EZM? Like, the one where each page is half a page of an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper, and it's stapled together without scissors. If it's not in the program, I'd like to suggest it as an addition! It's definitely the zine type I see most in my area by far.
one of the most creative and inspirational digital art tools i've ever seen. As it is it's 10/10, if it had a trifold template it would be too perfect to exist. thank you for making THE fun, accessible, punk art tool for the new '20s
been trying to use this program but when i open it, the ui doesn’t appear :( all that shows up is a blue bg, i can still click ui buttons which changes the bg colour, but i can’t actually see anything
i’ve tried running as admin, redownloading the zip, using v11 and v12, but still no luck
i’m using windows 11, haven’t been able to find anything that helps with the issue yet, so any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I made a lot of fanzines in high school and this tool would have come in handy with my color printer, super cute and I wish you all the best.
This seems like a really cool project. I have to give it a go. Hope you are doing well and are happy =)
This is a wonder. A magnificent masterpiece and a revolutionary tool in digital and analogue art creation. Sincere thanks to you.
this reminds me of kidpix a little bit, it was this art software that my school had in the computer lab
easter egg in top
Thank you for the amazing toolkit. I just published my first zine using it. Much appreciated!
This is a really awesome tool. Simply by looking at it, I'm filled with the impulse to create something. I like it very much. Thank you for making it.
Thank you for the maker! (I've finally desided to give it a go, by the way Random Shitty First ElectricZine by Родион (itch.io) )

I keep coming back to this and thinking about it. I want to call it an art tool but it's so much more than that. Thank you for creating it.

just read it, absolutely adorable!! will be printing it out once i get more printer ink
Halp. My comp (possibly Windows 10) won't let me drag saved zines back into the program to open them. Any suggestions?
