Poster design for personal photos and printed styles
With poster design, you turn a favourite photo into a finished poster that looks great on any wall. Start by exploring posters and choose a style that fits your look and feel, or go straight to poster design if you already know you want to personalise your own photo. The process keeps everything simple while still giving you room to build a personal result. Every poster is printed on sturdy poster paper with UV printing, so colours stay vivid for years.
Whether you want a clean layout or an attention-grabbing composition, you can make your poster feel truly personal. You can choose a square, portrait or landscape crop, then select the paper type and size that suits your wall. Text, extra photos, backgrounds, borders, clipart and filters help you shape the final look. The result is a poster that feels designed for your space rather than chosen at random.
Poster printing on high-quality paper
Every poster print is produced on high-quality poster paper, and you can choose between a budget variant and a premium variant. Both options are designed to produce poster prints that keep your image looking sharp and vibrant, thanks to UV print technology. This means your poster stays eye-catching over time, even when you play with colours or choose a black-and-white or sepia finish. The choice between budget and premium paper makes it easier to match the poster to your plans.
If you want extra reassurance, you can add a professional photo check before production. Your image is reviewed for colour, sharpness, quality and pixel count, which helps reduce the risk of unexpected results. This is especially useful when you are ordering a larger poster or using a photo with fine details. That way, the final poster is closer to the look you had in mind.
Use a template, poster maker tools and graphic details
Choose from 2000+ designs to find a template that matches your taste, whether you prefer modern, classic or playful. Each design can work like a poster template that you adjust, so you do not need advanced graphic design skills to create a stunning poster. The menu is clear, and the editing tools help you personalise details like text, background, border and filters in a beginner-friendly way. You can also add extra photos to create a collage layout when one image is not enough.
For a more personal route, you can start with a simple layout and build up the graphic details step by step. For a different wall presentation, photos printed framed may suit another project, while this page keeps the focus on printed posters. Once your design is ready, you can continue with the same simple order flow and keep the result focused on your photo, text and chosen finish. You can then place the order knowing the poster will be printed on sturdy paper with vivid UV-printed colour.
Upload, browse and make a poster in your own style
To make a poster, start by choosing a design and using the upload step to add your photo. Then browse the crop, paper and size options before refining the layout. You can add text, extra photos, a background, a border, clipart or filters until the poster feels complete. This makes it easy to create a poster online while still controlling the details that matter most.
If you are unsure where to start, choose a template and keep the first version simple. For a seasonal design route, the poster xmas collection can also be a useful starting point before you personalise your own poster. You can then adjust the design elements to suit your photo and your room. Even if you have design experience or none at all, the process stays clear and practical.
Poster sizes, crops and format choices
Your poster is available in multiple crops: square, portrait and landscape, so the final composition fits your image. There are many poster sizes, ranging from 30x20 cm up to 180x120 cm, with 80x60 cm as the most chosen size. Because the crop and size affect how your photo is framed, it helps to decide the crop first and then select the size. That way, the subject stays where you want it in the final poster.
The examples below show the smallest size, the most chosen size and the largest size in the range. They are only examples, because the collection includes more options for different walls and layouts. A compact poster can suit a smaller corner, while a larger format gives your photo more presence. Choosing the right format helps the poster feel balanced in the room.
| Example size | What it helps you do |
|---|---|
| 30x20 cm | Create a compact poster for smaller spaces |
| 80x60 cm | Choose the most popular size for everyday walls |
| 180x120 cm | Make a large poster for a statement wall |
