Fiery FreeForm Create 2.0 sets new bar for print personalisation

Fiery has announced the launch of Fiery FreeForm Create 2.0, the latest version of Fiery’s free variable-data print (VDP) software that makes personalised print easier, faster, and more customisable for all users.

A free, standalone variable-data application, Fiery FreeForm Create makes it easy to add personalisation to any print job. Add barcodes, personalised text, and variable images to files in minutes to create impactful, unique print products that connect with your audience – all without needing to ask your designer to create endless custom elements.

FreeForm Create 2.0, winner of the 2025 Pinnacle Award for Variable and Transactional Software, redefines how you bring personalised print to life across all your Fiery Driven printers. From enhanced creativity tools like customisable QR codes, to simplified image setup that reduces manual steps, to integration with Fiery XF 9 for large format applications, FreeForm Create 2.0 gives you unparalleled power to make print personal.

Bring new creative capabilities to print personalisation FreeForm Create 2.0 offers rich creative options for a wide range of real-world applications – everything from direct mail, labels, and tickets to signage, packaging, and retail displays.

With new QR code customisation capabilities, including centre images, along with a Style Manager that helps ensure a consistent visual appearance, you can customise print projects with maximum creativity – all while maintaining brand alignment and reducing repetitive setup tasks.

New Fiery XF 9 integration brings variable-data power to large format print FreeForm Create 2.0 is integrated with the award-winning Fiery XF 9 RIP software for large format print, eliminating the need for separate, expensive variable-data tools. Large format printers can now create personalised signage, packaging prototypes, point-of-purchase displays, and promotional materials with same workflow as other Fiery Driven printers – giving you a true unified print room across commercial, large format, and industrial applications.

Simpler setup and ease of use make personalisation easy FreeForm Create 2.0 is designed for ease of use and minimal operator input. Data Preflight checks data fields, barcode validity, and image paths early to prevent output errors and reduce reprints, while a simplified image setup process improves image handling with fewer manual steps – reducing effort for both print operators and designers.

“Personalisation is a major growth driver in print, and FreeForm Create 2.0 makes it easier and more profitable than ever. This new release expands personalization into large format through Fiery XF 9 integration, opening new revenue opportunities without added software costs. It also improves accuracy, branding, and setup efficiency, helping you deliver higher-quality personalised work with less risk and effort. With demand for customised, data-driven print personalisation rising across the print industry, FreeForm Create 2.0 is a must-have for any print shop looking to offer variable-data solutions,” said John Henze, vice-president, sales and marketing, Fiery.

FreeForm Create 2.0 is available to download for free from the Fiery website.
