How to turn a photo into a poster with editable text

Frame-worthy posters from any photo. Kyanbasu generates the art direction around your image and keeps the headline, date, and details as real text layers — so the poster is yours to refine, not a flattened JPEG.

How it works

Step 1
Upload your photo
Any photo — concert, event, product, portrait, landscape.
Step 2
Describe the poster
Minimal, editorial, vintage, bold — AI drafts a structured layout with typography and art direction around your image.
Step 3
Edit the words
Title, date, location, supporting copy — every word is a native text layer. Fix a typo without regenerating anything.
Step 4
Tune the look
Adjust color, exposure, and effects on the canvas until the photo and type sit together properly.
Step 5
Export for print or social
High-resolution PDF for your printer, or web-sized PNG/JPG for social.

Why this approach works

Posters live or die on hierarchy — image, headline, detail. Kyanbasu's two-stage poster engine plans the layout first, then renders the artwork, and materializes the copy as editable layers. The result reads like a designed poster because it is one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print it large?

Yes. Export a high-resolution PDF and check the pixel dimensions against your print size — your printer can advise on the DPI they need.

Do you do framing or shipping?

Design only — pair your export with a local print shop or an online print service.

Will the photo look professional?

You can enhance the photo with AI before or after placing it — exposure, color, and sharpness are all adjustable.

Can I save the design?

Yes. Save the project and reuse it for series posters — tours, event sequences, seasonal menus.
