ExampleHow to make a movie poster
Make a movie poster with AI in 4 steps
CreArt's free AI Poster Generator turns your photo or a one-line idea into a 2000 × 3000 movie poster, usually in under 20 seconds. The AI paints only the picture: the title, cast and credits are set on top by your browser, so they come out spelled exactly as you typed them.
Add your photo, or just an idea
Upload a clear photo of yourself and you become the lead: the AI keeps your face and changes the costume, the scene and the light. A photo of a couple works too. No photo? Describe the story in one line, or tap one of the two sample photos.
Pick a genre
Choose one of 12: horror, thriller, action, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, comedy, drama, western, film noir, 80s retro or minimalist. Each genre has its own look and its own typeface.
Type the title and cast
Add the title, the names that go above it and an optional tagline. They are set on the poster as real type, with the credits and "Coming soon" underneath, and you can change the position, font or color without generating again.
BeforeAfter
Download your poster
Download a 2000 × 3000 px JPG in the 2:3 shape of a movie poster, ready to share or print. For a big print, run it through the image upscaler first.
Twelve genres, one poster each
The same person cast as the lead in every genre, each with its own typeface. Tap a genre to make yours.
Real typography
Your movie title, spelled right
AI image models are good at pictures and bad at letters: ask one for a movie poster and the title often comes back misspelled or turned into squiggles. Here the AI only paints the picture. The title, the cast and the tagline are set on top by your browser as real type, in a typeface picked for each genre: dripping letters for horror, tall condensed type for action and thrillers, neon for 80s retro, an elegant serif for romance.
Because the text is not part of the image, you can change it whenever you like: move the title to the top, switch the font or the color, fix a typo or add a co-star, all without generating again. Making a book or an album instead? The book cover generator and the album cover maker work the same way.
You as the lead
Make a movie poster with your face
Upload a photo and pick a genre: the AI keeps your face and hairstyle and changes everything else, from the costume to the scene and the light, so you look like the lead of a real film. A clear photo where your face is well lit and not too small works best. A photo of a couple works too, and both keep their own faces.
It makes a fun gift: a horror poster for a friend's birthday, a romance for an anniversary, a western for someone who loves westerns. Want another kind of poster with a face on it? Try the wanted poster generator.
Event posters
Event posters, with the text set for you
Switch to the Event poster tab for concerts, parties, festivals, talks and races. Pick one of six styles (concert, party, vintage, minimal, motivational or event), type the headline and a line with the date and place, and the AI paints a background in the right mood while your text is set on top, easy to read.
Add a photo of a band, a venue or a product and the AI restyles it in the look you picked. For a small handout instead of a wall poster, the AI flyer generator is a better fit.
Print sizes
How big can you print the poster?
The download is 2000 × 3000 px, a 2:3 ratio. This is how it fits common poster and photo sizes.
| Size | Print quality |
|---|---|
| 4 × 6 in photo print | Exact 2:3 fit, 500 dpi |
| 8 × 12 in | Exact 2:3 fit, 250 dpi |
| 12 × 18 in | Exact 2:3 fit, about 167 dpi: sharp at arm's length |
| 24 × 36 in (standard poster) | Exact 2:3 fit, about 83 dpi: fine on a wall, sharper if you upscale it first |
| 27 × 40 in (theater one-sheet) | Almost 2:3: a thin strip is trimmed from the top and bottom |
| A-series (A3, A2, A1) | A little wider than 2:3: print it with thin side margins or trim the top and bottom |
| Instagram post (4:5) | Crop the top and bottom, or post the whole poster with borders |
| Instagram story (9:16) | Fits with a little space above and below |
Every standard poster size in inches, centimeters and pixels is in the poster size guide.
