About this tool

Free Power BI Layout Generator

Context

Every Power BI report needs the same groundwork before the first chart: a background drawn in PowerPoint or Figma, theme colors matched by hand and navigation buttons added page by page. It takes hours, and the pieces drift apart as the report grows. This generator does that groundwork in minutes, so each report starts from a finished, on-brand layout instead of a blank canvas.

Features

12 navigation frames, from sidebars and top tabs to icon rails and a filter panel, plus 6 main menu styles
27 palettes for industries and moods, your own brand color or colors taken from an image, in light or dark mode
Mark where KPI cards, charts, tables and slicers go, or keep the canvas free
PNG and SVG backgrounds with a matching Power BI theme file
A ready-to-open Power BI project (.pbip): page navigation that follows your real page names, editable text boxes and placeholder visuals
Add extra theme settings, such as a ZoomCharts license, merged into the theme
