HTML banner code generator

Create rotating banner images for your website - great for affiliate links or any set of images you want to cycle through, either on a timer or a fresh random pick on each page load, with a genuine working preview as you build it. Image preloading is included so there's no flicker or delay when the banner changes.

About banner rotators

A banner rotator cycles through a set of images in one spot on the page, either automatically on a timer or by picking a fresh one at random each time the page loads. It's a compact way to show several ads, promotions or featured items without dedicating separate space to each one - commonly used for affiliate banners, sponsor logos, or rotating promotional graphics.

The two rotation types suit different goals: a timed interval keeps cycling in front of a visitor who stays on the page, useful when you want every banner to get seen during a single visit. A fresh random pick on each page load instead spreads impressions out across many different visits - closer to how ad networks rotate creative - and needs no JavaScript timer running in the background.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any plugins or libraries for this to work?

No. The generated code is plain JavaScript with no dependencies - no jQuery, no plugin, nothing else to load. Paste it in and it works.

What's the difference between the two rotation types?

"Show a new banner after a set interval" cycles through your images in order, on a timer, without the visitor needing to reload the page. "Show a new banner on each page load" picks one at random each time the page loads (or is refreshed) and stays on it - useful for A/B-style rotation across page views, e.g. affiliate banners.

Will search engines see my banner images?

The images are inserted by JavaScript after the page loads, so they won't appear in the raw HTML source. Modern Googlebot does render JavaScript and can generally see them, but if a banner is important content (not just decoration or an ad), consider also including a plain <img> tag as a fallback.

Can I use this for affiliate banners?

Yes - set "Open a URL when clicked" to Yes and enter each affiliate link alongside its image. Remember to follow your affiliate program's disclosure requirements and use rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" on the links where required.
