Poster to fill in and print
Type the title and the text, pick the type of poster, and the A4 sheet comes out ready to print. The title grows or shrinks by itself to fill the width. Use it for a building, school or shop notice, to announce an event, or for a lost pet poster with a photo and tear-off phone tabs.

How do I make a free poster to print?
This poster maker builds the poster on an A4 sheet in your browser. You type the title, the subtitle, the text and the footer, then pick one of six types: notice, event, June festival, sale, lost pet or classroom. The title resizes itself to fill the width. Print it in color or as outlines. It is free, with no sign-up.
How to make the poster
- Pick the type: notice, event, June festival, sale, lost pet or classroom.
- Type the title. A short title prints larger and reads from far away.
- Fill in the subtitle, the text and the footer. An empty field does not show on the poster.
- If you like, choose a logo. On the lost pet poster, choose the photo.
- Pick the ink: color, or outline to use less ink.
- Tap Print the sheet. Keep the paper on A4 and the scale at 100%.
Poster types
- Notice: plain, with a caution band and a frame. For buildings, schools and shops.
- Event: a huge title and slanted stripes, to catch the eye from far away.
- June festival: flags, a bonfire, a paper lantern balloon and a straw hat, as in the Brazilian festa junina.
- Sale: a block of color with a seal, for a local shop.
- Lost pet: a large space for the photo and tear-off phone tabs.
- Classroom: colored pencils and a numbered list, for class rules.
Lost pet poster
- Choose a sharp photo that shows the whole animal or object.
- In the subtitle, put the name and the most striking feature.
- In the text, say where and when it went missing and how to recognize it.
- In the footer, put the name and the phone number. It repeats on the tabs at the bottom.
- After printing, cut between the tabs up to the line, so people can take the contact with them.
- No photo on your device? Leave the field empty and glue the photo in the marked space.
Tips to be read from far away
- Use few words in the title.
- One idea per line in the text.
- Put the date, the time and the place in the footer.
- Put the poster up at eye level, where people walk by.
- Ask the owner of the place before you put it up.
Privacy
- The poster is built on your device. The page does not upload the text or the image.
- The text and the color are kept in this browser for your next visit.
- The image is not kept. Choose the file again when you come back.
Frequently asked questions
Can I print the poster in black and white?
Yes. Choose the Outline ink: the bands and the drawings print as line art and use little ink.
Does a very long title fit on the poster?
Yes. The title wraps into lines and shrinks by itself until it fits the width. A short title prints larger.
How do the tabs on the lost pet poster work?
What you type in the footer repeats on ten tabs at the bottom of the sheet. Cut between them up to the line, and each person tears off one tab with the contact.
Can I make a poster larger than A4?
The sheet comes out in A4. For a larger poster, save it as a PDF and ask a print shop to enlarge it.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The poster is built on your device, and the image and the text do not leave it.
