Signing up for a Balsamiq Cloud account

A Balsamiq Cloud account is your ticket to low-fidelity wireframing. You only need one account as it can belong to as many Spaces as you make, or are invited to.

The first step is to sign up for a Balsamiq Cloud account at https://balsamiq.cloud.

Start a Balsamiq Cloud free trial by entering your email and clicking “Start your free trial.”

We offer two sign up methods. You can complete our sign up form or you can use your Google Account to sign up and authenticate automatically.

Complete the Balsamiq Cloud signup form to create your account and agree to terms.

After completing the signup form, stay on the page. Balsamiq Cloud will send you a six-digit confirmation code to input into the modal window on the registration page.

Verify your Balsamiq Cloud account by entering the six-digit code sent to your email.

Once your account is set up, you will be brought to your Space.

Switching from Google Authentication to username + password

If you have been using Google Authentication to log into Balsamiq Cloud (or signed up with it by mistake), you can switch to a Username and Password setup by logging in and going to your User Settings.

Access User Settings in Balsamiq Cloud to switch from Google login to username and password.

In your User Settings, click on the Send Me an Email to Set a Password for Cloud button.

This will send an email to the Google email that was used for your account authentication. If you follow the link from that email, you will be able to set a new password for Cloud.

This new password (and the email address you registered with) becomes your new login for Cloud.

A note about Google Authentication

Instead of using your email and password, you can use an existing Google account to log in to Balsamiq Cloud.

Log in to Balsamiq Cloud using the Google authentication option.

When logging into Balsamiq Cloud via Google, you will be prompted to enter your Google account details only the first time.

Sign in with your Google account to access Balsamiq Cloud.
