Crop an image into a fast poster layout

Most posters are one strong image and a few confident words. This tool frames that fast: it crops your image into a clean panel, lets you scale and reposition it, then drops a heavy headline and subtitle into a balanced layout.

Choose an aspect ratio, set the scale and margin of the image crop, add an overlay for legible type, and write your headline and subtitle. It's a quick path from a photo to a sharable poster.

Getting a good result

  1. Upload an image and pick the poster aspect ratio.
  2. Set the crop scale and margin to frame the subject.
  3. Add an overlay so the type stays readable over the image.
  4. Write the headline and subtitle, then export PNG.

What it's good for

  • event, gig and announcement posters
  • social and story graphics
  • campaign and promo art
  • quick cover and thumbnail layouts

FAQ

How do I keep the headline readable over a busy photo?

Raise the overlay — it darkens the image enough for white type to hold. Or crop to a calmer part of the image behind the text.

Can I reposition the image inside the frame?

Use the scale and margin controls to reframe the crop so the subject sits where you want relative to the type.

What sizes does it export?

It exports at poster proportions suitable for screen sharing and print; pick the aspect ratio that matches where it's going.
