Anime Poster Creator

Idyllic's anime poster creator designs vertical anime-style posters from a description: original characters, key art, title lettering and backgrounds, in looks from 90s cel animation to modern shonen action.

How it works

Three steps from idea to finished image.

1
Describe the key art
Character, pose, setting and mood: 'swordswoman on a rooftop under a blood-red moon, cherry petals in the wind'.
2
Add the title and style
Put the title in quotes, choose a look like 90s cel anime, shonen action or slice-of-life watercolor, and say where the text goes.
3
Refine and print
Change one thing at a time by describing it, extend the canvas for extra margin, and upscale up to 8K.

Anime poster styles

90s cel anime: film grain, soft glow, hand-painted backgrounds.
Shonen action: dynamic angles, speed lines, glowing attacks.
Slice of life: watercolor skies, school rooftops, summer light.
Mecha: hard-surface robots, cockpit glow, hazard stripes.
Japanese layout: vertical title lettering, small credits block, color bars.
Minimal: one silhouette, flat colors and lots of empty space.

Layout tips for real key-art feel

Leave the top or bottom third clear for the title.
Use one strong light source and a two-color palette.
Put the main character's eyes near the upper third of the frame.
Add a small credits block or release line for authenticity.

Print sizes

Common poster sizes are 18×24 and 24×36 inches, or A3 and A2. Ask for a vertical poster, upscale up to 8K, and use Extend in Canvas if you need more margin for framing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the anime poster maker free?

Yes. You can create 3 free images a day with no credit card. Paid plans start at $10.50 a month, billed yearly, and add a commercial license and private mode.

Can I put a title on my anime poster?

Yes. Write the title in quotes, like 'CRIMSON VOW', and say where it goes. Idyllic renders it as text on the poster, and you can ask for Japanese-style lettering too.

Can I print my poster in high resolution?

Yes. Upscale up to 8K before printing large sizes like 18×24 or 24×36 inches.

Can I make a poster of my favorite anime character?

You can make fan-inspired posters for personal use. For posters you plan to sell, design original characters, since existing ones belong to their studios.

Which anime styles can I use?

Name the era or genre: 90s cel animation, shonen action, mecha, slice of life or cyberpunk. You can also train a Style on your own reference art.

Can I turn my own photo into an anime poster?
