Frequently asked questions.

What is the standard size for a poster?

Popular poster sizes are 11” x 17”, 18” x 24”, and 20” x 20”, although you can make a poster any size you’d like. Easily create both vertical and horizontal event posters for all your needs.

How do you make a standout creative poster design?

To make a poster that stands out, include a title that’s large enough to read. Use high-quality images or vector graphics that can easily be resized, and complementary color schemes to stand out. If your poster is for hosting an event or a fundraiser, include a call to action so your audience knows what to do next.

How do I add bleed to my creative poster design?

A bleed allows color to be printed all the way to the edge of a design. A typical bleed size is 1/8” around the edge. To add a bleed to your poster, use the Resize tool and increase your poster by that size – so an 11” x 17” poster should be 11.25” x 17.25” with the bleed.

Can I create my own creative poster template?

Any new or existing project can be turned into a shareable template. To turn your poster into a template, click on the three-dot menu at the left of the Download button and follow the steps to turn your design into a template.
