Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to sign up?
No. The Poster Maker works in your browser and is free to use. You do not need an account.
Is my design uploaded to your server?
No. Everything is made inside your browser. Your text and pictures are not sent to us.
Can I add my own picture?
Yes. Click “+ Image” to upload a file from your device, or “+ Image from link” to paste the web address of a picture. Some websites do not allow their pictures to be used by other sites. If a link does not work, save the picture and upload the file instead.
How do I move, resize or rotate things?
Click an item on the design, then drag it to move it. Drag the square corners to resize and the round handle above it to rotate. You can also use the arrow keys to nudge it and the Delete key to remove it.
How do I use a photo as the background?
Click an empty spot on the design so no item is selected. Then use “Background image” or “From link” in the box on the right.
Which size is best for printing?
Pick the size you will print on. The PDF has the same page size, so you can print it at 100%.
