Free PowerPoint ® research poster templates in various sizes & styles.

If you don't see the specific dimensions you want, use a template that is the same proportion and we will correctly scale it at the time of printing. because powerpoint does not allow dimensions greater than 56", we use scaled templates for the larger poster sizes. our 42x90 templates are actually sized at 21x45 which we then print at 200%. tip: before selecting a template, bear in mind that most poster session boards have a one-inch metal frame. reducing the poster by a few inches allows it to mount flat on the board without the edges curling. if you are allowed a 48" x 48" space, we recommend using a 44" x 44" template. similarly, for a 48" x 96" board, we recommend no larger than a 42" x 90" template.    click here to see a comparison of how they fit on a board..

5 Tips for Designing a Poster In PowerPoint

If you’re challenged with designing a poster without having to use image-editing software, you can use PowerPoint to take-on the challenge. Start by following these simple tips.

1. Use Vertical PowerPoint Templates

While you can easily create your own design from scratch using PowerPoint tools, it’s much easier to design a PowerPoint poster layout if you have a great template to work with.

So consider getting a great PowerPoint template before you get started. In fact, look for a PowerPoint template with a vertical design. This will make the entire process of rearranging content blocks and formatting much easier for you.

2. Take Advantage of Master Layouts

When using high-quality PowerPoint templates, you’ll also find master slide layouts that are included with the template. These layouts allow you to easily create new slides using pre-designed content layouts. Use these master layouts to experiment with different content designs for your poster.

3. Use Custom Fonts for Better Impact

Fonts play a key role in poster design. It’s the main element of a poster design that attracts attention. So pick a great poster font and customize the titles to make your poster look more professional.

4. Choose Colors Carefully

PowerPoint is designed to work as a slideshow presentation software. So the colors, backgrounds, and gradients you use in your poster design may not convert as accurately when you print out the poster.

Consider using print-friendly colors in your poster design and also do a test print to see if your finalized poster comes out looking as well as it looks on the computer.

5. Know Your Limits

Keep in mind that PowerPoint is not an image editing software. Don’t expect it to function just like Photoshop. PowerPoint has very limited features when it comes to designing posters. Use it to design simple and quick posters. But try not to use it for professional and business designs.

How to make a poster using microsoft powerpoint.

Microsoft PowerPoint isn't just for presentations--you can make posters with it, as well. Here's how.

Quick Links

Define the poster dimensions, design your poster.

Microsoft PowerPoint isn't just for presentations---it also provides all of the creative tools you need to design a beautiful poster. Just set the dimensions, design the poster, and print it out. Here's how to make a poster using PowerPoint.

Posters come in all sizes, but the first thing you need to know is PowerPoint's slide limit is 56-inches x 56-inches, so you'll need to plan accordingly. It's also important to note that you want to set your poster dimensions before you start designing your poster. Otherwise, you might end up having to rework parts of your design due to the size change.

Related: How to Reduce the File Size of a PowerPoint Presentation

Here are some of the standard poster sizes to get you started:

• Small poster: 11" x 17"
• Medium poster: 18" x 24"
• Large posters: 24" x 36" or 27" x 39"

Once you've decided on your poster size, set the dimensions in PowerPoint. To do this, open PowerPoint and navigate to the "Design" tab.

In the "Customize" group, select "Slide Size."

Select "Custom Slide Size" from the dropdown menu.

The "Slide Size" window will appear. Input the width and height specifications to match your required size. Keep in mind that if your height is larger in size than your width, the orientation of the slide will automatically change to "Portrait."

When you're finished, select "OK."

Once selected, a new window will appear giving you two scaling options: Maximize or Ensure Fit. If your slide already has content on it, you'll want to select "Ensure Fit."

Your slide will now be resized.

Your poster design is going to depend completely on you. You'll want to pay attention to the background of the poster, text and image arrangement, font size and style, etc. Essentially, you should treat this part exactly as if you were just creating another slide for a presentation.

Because the design and process of this step is going to differ for everyone, we'd like to offer some of our previous guides to get you started in the design process:

• Insert a picture or other object.
• Use an image as a background.
• Insert an image inside text.
• Get a picture behind text.
• Make a border or frame.

Once your design is ready, all that's left to do is print it out and hang it up!

How to Make a Poster in PowerPoint: Step-by-Step Guide

Written by: Danesh Ramuthi Apr 17, 2024

Did you know the first modern poster appeared in the mid-15th century? Since then, posters have captured people’s attention and left lasting impressions.

Fortunately, creating posters today is easy with digital tools like PowerPoint. You can experiment endlessly and make mistakes to your heart’s content — PowerPoint even offers poster templates!

However, PowerPoint’s downside is that it lacks options that poster creation tools like Venngage offer (customizable templates and an extensive library of icons and images to add visual appeal).

In this article, I’ll teach you how to make a poster in PowerPoint (alternatively, check out our  Free Online Poster Maker  and  customizable poster templates ).

Click to jump ahead :

How to create a new poster in PowerPoint

Setting up the slide, how to make a poster in venngage.

Here’s a brief overview of how to create a poster in PowerPoint.

Step 1: Create a blank slide Step 2: Select design –> slide size Step 3: Select the poster dimensions Step 4: Set width and height Step 5: Choose poster orientation Step 6: Add text, visuals, and design your poster Step 7: Finalize your poster Step 8: Save and print

Before starting work on your poster, remember that all effective posters have the following in common.

• Are easy to understand
• An appealing layout and typography
• A clear and concise message

Start with a blank slide

When you open PowerPoint, you’ll see template options like a minimalist presentation or architecture pitch deck.

Instead of these, select Blank Presentation to get a clean slate to work with.

Choose a poster template

Poster templates help save time and increase productivity. You do not need to do any design or layout work; you only have to think about the content.

To find poster templates in PowerPoint, click on the Design tab at the top of the screen.

You should see template options in the Themes bar.

For more options, select the Designer option at the top right. Here, you’ll find colorful templates that are the perfect poster options.

For example, this template is a great option to use as a visually appealing poster.

Remember that PowerPoint templates are for slide decks and presentations.

If you want to create traditional posters, I recommend using Venngage’s poster make r instead. Our drag-and-drop interface makes creating professional posters easy and doesn’t require you to have design skills to use it.

You’ll also find poster templates on Venngage, including event posters , sales posters , movie posters , infographic posters , and more.

Choose the right slide size and orientation

If you’re determined to make a poster in PowerPoint, you’ll need to adjust the size and orientation of the PowerPoint slide so it looks more like a typical poster.

To do this, click the Design tab at the top and select the Slide Size dropdown option.

Then, click on Page Setup.

In Page Setup, select the Custom option slide size and enter these measurements.

• Width: 59.4cm
• Height: 84.1cm  

You’ll notice my design doesn’t fit the scaled size. One workaround is to stretch the design (it might look a bit off, but overall, it is still decent).

Now, our poster is beginning to take shape.

Select a background

When choosing a poster background, choose clean and subtle colors and designs so that the primary message pops.

This also prevents clutter, which can be an eyesore and distract from what’s important.

To change your poster’s background, click on Format Background. You should see options for adding solid fills, gradient fills, or photos.

You can also add textures under Pattern Fill and watermarks to add a unique touch to your poster.

Since this template seems too colorful to be used for a poster about Women’s Day, I changed the background to a pinkish-purplish hue.  

Design your poster

When designing your poster, keep the following things in mind.

• Ensure visual hierarchy: Arrange elements to guide the viewer’s eye across the poster. The most important information should be prominent.
• Focus on white space: Give elements in your poster room to breathe. Less is more since we want the poster to convey a message rather than be an art piece at a museum.

In my poster example representing Women’s Day, I added icons by selecting Insert and then Icons.

The symbols I chose hint at what will happen at the event: beauty and makeup booths and drinks.

Add a title and headings

Besides visual appeal, your poster’s title is critical to grabbing people’s attention, so write something catchy that draws viewers in.

Here’s another pro tip. Use large, easy-to-read fonts that are easy to see.

To add a title to your poster in PowerPoint, insert a Text Box by going to Insert and then Text Box. You can customize the text for size, color, and boldness from the Home tab.

Add your text and content

After the title, it’s time to add supporting text to convey your message.

I recommend using only bullet points and short paragraphs for better readability in posters.

Also, ensure everything is organized and aligned. Adding content using text boxes each time is a great way to keep everything neat.

For my Women’s Day event poster, I added details about the event in bullet format.

To add bullets in a Text Box, go to the Home tab and select the arrow next to the Bullet button.

Add your visuals and graphics

Posters that are all text are very dull, so you’ll need visuals, which can be anything from high-quality images to charts and diagrams.

Visuals in posters provide dual benefits: they make information accessible and can evoke emotional responses in viewers.

To add visuals to a PowerPoint poster, click the Insert tab and choose Pictures. PowerPoint lets you upload your photos or browse the web for stock images.

I added balloons and wine glasses to make this poster more fun and happening.

The great thing about visuals in PowerPoint is the potential for customization.

For example, I changed the thickness at the ends of the balloon image to make the colors stand out more.

The drag-and-drop interface also makes aligning your visuals with other elements easy.

Use shapes and SmartArt to add diagrams

Incorporating shapes into your poster is a great way to create visual sections and segregate information. You can also use them as callouts to draw attention to important details.

To add shapes to your poster, go to the Insert tab, click Shapes and choose the one that fits your needs.

Alternatively, you can use PowerPoint’s SmartArt feature to add diagrams, such as flowcharts, to your poster.

To add a diagram to your poster, go to the Insert tab, click SmartArt, and browse the options.

Add the final touches

Once finished designing your poster, spend a few minutes to ensure everything looks in place and apply the final touches.

For example, two elements may not align, or some text may be too small.

Proofread your poster

Before sending your poster to print, double-check it for typos and grammatical errors.

One great way to do this is to copy and paste the text into a tool like Grammarly, which can spell-check for you. Also, getting a third person to review your poster for errors and/or clarity is a good idea.

Print your poster

Once finished with your poster, you can print it from PowerPoint. Just go to the File tab and select Print.

In the pop-up window, select your printer, adjust settings such as paper size, quality, and orientation, and choose the scale-to-fit option.

Before hitting Print, preview your poster one final time, then click Print.

Things to consider before beginning

What size is the poster.

PowerPoint places a limit on the dimensions of slides; if you plan on printing a poster that has dimensions larger than 56″ you will need to create it with another piece of software like  Photoshop  or InDesign.

How much does a poster cost?

Get an estimate using the  price calculator .

Where are the images coming from?

Images copied from the web are low resolution (72 dpi) and are not good quality for a printed poster. Minimum image resolution should be 150 dpi at actual printing size for best results.

What is the deadline?

Posters are printed Monday through Friday with a standard 24-hour turnaround time. Plan ahead to avoid high volume times for quicker turnaround.

Start with a template

Choose from a variety of styles and sizes. Download a template .

Create a new poster

Open a new document in PowerPoint.

• Go to Design –> Slide Size
• Choose  Custom Slide Size
• Set  Width  and  Height  (max. 56″)
• Choose the  Landscape  (horizontal) or Portrait orientation.
• Click  OK .
• If a message pops up telling you that “ The current page size exceeds the printable area of the paper in the printer ” just click  OK .

Basic design tips

Academic posters are a summary of what you did, how you did it, and what you learned. Most are divided into four parts:

• Introduction (what you did)
• Design or methods (how you did it)
• Conclusion (what you learned)

Space is limited. Choose your words and graphics carefully.

Don’t forget to SPELL CHECK your poster before submitting for print!

Design your file at full size (100%). If your poster is 36″ wide x 24″ tall then set your slide dimensions to 36″ x 24″.

Present information the way you would normally read —left to right, top to bottom.

Use columns and line breaks to divide the poster into smaller sections. Use bullets instead of long paragraphs to summarize information.

Maintain a good contrast between the background color and the text. Consider using a light color background and a dark text. A gradient color fill background, especially black, will print poorly and is not recommended.

Someone standing 3–4 feet away should be able to read everything on your poster. Here are some suggested fonts and sizes:

Sans serif:  Lucida Sans, Lucida Grande ; Serif:   Palatino, Book Antiqua

• Title: 72 point
• Headings/section titles: 40 point
• Body text: 24 point
• Captions: 18 point

Limit yourself to 2–3 types of fonts in order to create consistency and unity.

A picture is worth 1,000 words. Poster content should be 60% images, 40% text . Use graphs, charts, tables, and photos to summarize and present data.

High resolution images ( 150 dpi or higher ) are required for printing high quality posters.

Color mode for best results is CMYK .

Insert images directly into PowerPoint . Don’t cut and paste, or copy and paste.

Copy and paste Excel charts and graphs into PowerPoint.

To adjust an image and retain proper proportion, hold the shift key on your keyboard, click, and drag the corners to scale . Enlarging images in PowerPoint is not recommended.
