The best EPK builder depends on how much site you need. For a free one-page EPK built for music, use Artist Kit. For a full band website with an EPK page and a store, Bandzoogle fits better. Squarespace suits artists who want total design control and have budget for a monthly plan. A Canva PDF works as a backup file to attach to emails.
We make Artist Kit, so read our pick with our bias in mind. Prices are in US dollars, exclude tax and are as of October 2026.

1. Artist Kit
Artist Kit builds a one-page EPK at artistkit.co/yourname. The sections are fixed: About, Gigs, Music, Videos, Gallery, News, Merch, Contact and Newsletter, plus a downloadable press kit. You rename headings, hide sections and change their order, but there's no freeform canvas.
What works well
- The free plan is a complete page: bio, music, gigs, contact, social links and an auto-generated press kit zip.
- Release cards show cover art and listen links to Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, Amazon, YouTube, Beatport and Bandcamp.
- YouTube and Vimeo videos play on the page.
- Gig pages include event structured data for search engines.
- No commission. Bookings and payments happen off the platform.
Limits
- One page per account, with a fixed layout.
- Music doesn't play on the page. Visitors tap through to Spotify, Bandcamp or another service to listen.
- Merch links out to your own shop. There's no built-in store.
Price: Free, or Pro at $4.99 per month for a custom domain, no Artist Kit branding, unlimited gigs, music, videos and news, a photo gallery, analytics, newsletter collection, merch links and a custom press kit upload. See pricing.
2. Bandzoogle
Bandzoogle is a website builder for musicians, with a dedicated EPK plan. The EPK builder includes a music player, images, a contact form, a text bio, press quotes, embedded videos, a gig calendar, social media links and download links. You also get a one-click "Onesheet EPK" download and an optional password on the online EPK.
What works well
- A music player, so visitors listen without leaving the page.
- Room to grow into a full website with a store and mailing list on the same account.
- No commission on sales.
Limits
- No free plan. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
- The EPK plan limits music players, and a custom domain costs extra.
Price: The EPK plan costs $6.95 per month, or $6.37 per month billed annually. Full website plans start at $11 per month (Lite), or $9.16 per month billed annually.
3. Squarespace
Squarespace is a general website builder. None of its plans target musicians, so you build the EPK yourself from a template: bio block, embedded tracks, gallery, contact form.
What works well
- Polished design templates and full control over layout.
- A custom domain included on every plan, free for the first year on annual terms.
- Room to grow into a multi-page site with a store.
Limits
- No free plan. Squarespace offers a 14-day trial.
- No EPK sections out of the box, so you lay out every section by hand.
- Basic, the cheapest plan, takes a 2% fee on online store sales. Core and above take 0%.
Price: Basic costs $25 per month billed monthly or $19 per month billed annually. Core costs $39 or $29.
4. A PDF in Canva
Canva has media kit templates for bands and artists, and they download as a high-resolution PDF for printing. The free plan includes 1.6M+ templates. Pro costs US$144 per year for one person.
What works well
- Quick to make, with full visual control.
- You get a file to attach to an email or hand to a venue.
Limits
- A PDF won't play music or video. Links inside the file are all you get.
- Every update means a new file, and old versions keep circulating in people's inboxes.
- No gig calendar a booker trusts to be current.
Use the PDF as a companion to a web EPK. Our comparison of PDF and web EPKs goes into the trade-offs.
What happened to Presskit.to
Presskit.to was a long-running EPK tool. Its domain has expired and the site no longer loads, so if you used it, move your press kit somewhere you control.
How to choose
- You need an EPK live this week for free. Artist Kit, or a Canva PDF as a stopgap.
- You want visitors to play music without leaving the page. Bandzoogle, paid after the trial.
- You want a full website with a store and blog. Bandzoogle for music-specific tools, Squarespace for design freedom.
- A venue asked for a PDF. Canva, alongside a web link.
Whichever tool you pick, run through the EPK checklist before you send anything.
Where Artist Kit fits
Artist Kit suits artists who mainly want to get booked and covered: a clean page with bio, releases, gigs, video and contact, live in an evening and free to keep. If a fixed layout suits how you work, try the free EPK builder. If you need a store, a music player or several pages, pick one of the tools above.
